"Is Polish a Slavic language?" – a (probably) AI generated fever dream
https://www.nordictrans.com/blog/is-polish-a-slavic-language/amp/
(via /r/badlinguistics)

"Emerging markets" was a stupid concept, falsely supposing a one-way "emergence" toward prosperity.
(I remember when Greece, during the eurocrisis, was reportedly *downgraded* to the status of an "emerging market".)

Even more stupid is the current tendency to rename Eastern Europe as "#Emerging #Europe". Still mostly in finance-talk, though.

Today I'm moving my account from @kolektiva.social to while also starting another on in Swedish at @mastodon.nu, I hope everything will work!

@landettillstan Ett skäl till att flytta var att jag helt enkelt ville testa hur en flytt gick till.
Ett skäl att välja en viss server kan vara att man gillar dess lokala tidslinje. Å andra sidan går det ju att kolla andra servrars lokala tidslinje också om man vill det.
Jag tycker det funkar smidigt på lokala enheter att använda Tusky och växla mellan flera konton.

"It is striking that many of Latour’s fiercest critics in recent years – most prominently the eco-Marxists Andreas Malm and Jason W. Moore – have drawn more on Latourian-inflected strains of thought than they have liked to acknowledge. Some of this is simply an artefact of history: Latour’s influence is almost impossible to avoid in recent theoretical and social scientific work on nature and ecology. But Latour was also right that Marxists had generally paid more attention to social relations than the likes of microbes and carbon molecules. (The late Mike Davis stands as a notable exception)."

@pettter Lustigt nog sker det mig aldrig om jag bara söker via scholar.google.se utan bara när jag loggat in på Google Scholar via Stockholms universitet.

wow, me and my clique won the lottery to buy tickets for the @fusion_festival

@tb I must say I like the phrase "after-twitter platforms" much better than "twitter alternatives".

#Aftertwitter sounds like something relating to twitter like the afterlife relates to life, or like the afterparty relates to the party. Transcendent, even.

"You can see that any honest conservative re-foundation of “democratic” society, as in the case of Simone Weil’s London writings (in fact, her testament) will have to ban pluralism and the autonomy of the subject; it would lead to the self-annihilation of the Western liberal state."
– Gáspár Miklós Tamás, in the interview "The Left and Marxism in Eastern Europe" (2009)

"The Collapse of a Hybrid Regime: How the Iranian Authorities Lost the Population’s Support"
https://posle.media/language/en/the-collapse-of-a-hybrid-regime-how-the-iranian-authorities-lost-the-populations-support/
Note that the article is published by the exile-Russian site Posle, under a headline that seems to imply a parallel between Iran and Russia.

@stylo_the_unicorn well I read most of his works and also did what I could to introduce Kurz & #Wertabspaltungskritik for a Swedish readership

"I am an avid reader of #operaismo and of pre-Empire Negri, and also at the opposite end, the #Wertkritik school, in my view the best heirs to #Critical #Theory (Hans-Georg Backhaus, Helmut Reichelt, Michael Heinrich, but also the unruly genius, #Robert #Kurz, and the “cult” periodicals of this tendency, Krisis, Streifzüge, Exit!) /…/
The greatest impact came, however, from #Moishe #Postone’s magnum opus."
– Gáspár Miklós Tamás

Sad to hear about the passing of Gáspár Miklós Tamás #tgm

I love that my page on some Russian quasi-Wikipedia contains the subsection "Антиавторский активизм".
It is of course a machine translation of "anti-copyright activism" (which is a subsection on my page at English Wikipedia).
But it really sounds like "anti-author activism". I wonder if антиавторский is really a word in Russian?
