@notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com I get why you didn't mention it, but something might have happened the year after that report was published... Elsewhere in the world covid accelarated urban transformations (at least in the short term). Curious how (if at all) this inpacted Amsterdam' s plans

@davidgerard@circumstances.run Also I'm pretty sure he's never actually read Mark Fisher's Capitalist Realism...

@notjustbikes This was an interesting look behind the curtain. Probably just as well its on Nebula as ripping content from other YouTube channels may now also pose copyright issues! https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/07/aimsters-revenge/

@GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social Why are we live blogging the derranged ramblings of a senile old man? The BBC's attempts to treat this stuff as if it has some kind of internal logic is just bizarre... Maybe be really is the perfect president for the age of social media and 24 hour news, always more "content"

@rainerzufall_le @DGI pretty sure this is from Bullshit Jobs. My copy doesn't have an index so I can't find the direct quote, but this fits with Graeber's broader argument there

When we held our Regime Change Begins at Home event looking back to the anti-Iraq war movement we framed it in part as an opportunity to learn lessons so we were ready for the "next time". I'm not sure we'd envisaged the next time would be quite so obviously a replay of 2003. But here we are with the US leading an illegal, unprovoked assault on a middle eastern country predicated on transparent lies about weapons of mass destruction. #StopTheWar #HandsOffIran #FuckTrump #FuckNetanyahu
