Opened my copy of Jon Elster’s Making Sense of Marx and found this great quote
It’s not everyday that one receives a copy of the South African Bill of Rights, signed by Nelson Mandela, Arthur Chaskalson and four current justices of SA’s Constitutional Court. Humbling reminder of the hope and courage demanded by this shared profession for which we are cultivating our students.
Yeah this made me go back to my Foucault where he says the Nazi State is one where “we have an absolutely racist state, an absolutely murderous state, and an absolutely suicidal state…The three were necessarily superimposed.”
From the gram, h/t @alastairmacaulay.bsky.social And I wish this Moliere oversimplification were true. But it’s also not entirely untrue.
h/t to all the people who have been citing this important report on the debacle in Georgia's work requirements program, but it shows that the eligibility and enrollment system (mostly $$ to private contractors) spend was 42 million, and the payments for health care were less than 1/5th of that!
Utterly predictable that a Trump Administration would be devastating to pharma but the industry posture has been groveling. See the last headline from just 4 days ago.
The longtermist/effective altruism gang stokes the chaos, revels in it, AND then uses the despair to lure to their cause. The fliers posted all over restroom stalls at Columbia suggest cult like recruitment backed by money
My youngest has Flu A. 😞. But the new at-home rapid tests that can discern Flu as well as COVID are pretty great to have—one good thing to have come out of our collective COVID experience at least. We picked ours up at CVS
Support an institution nurtured by the great Balanchine dancer, Jacques D’Amboise, passed down through the NYCB dancers, here former principal ballerina Sterling Hyltin, announcing a match for #GivingTuesday nationaldance.org/support-us/
So…it was a masterpiece. I have to sit with it some more, but I’m pretty certain I saw a masterpiece last night. Tolstoy-an in its sweep. Showing us how it is to be human.

Woke up and felt like having 汤圆 in my red bean soup but also pandering by enclosing chocolate chips in them.
And this was New York City Ballet in tonight. In Kyle Abraham’s Love Letter (On Shuffle), one the most life affirming things I’ve seen in a long long while.
Lucky me watching Nederlands Dans Theater at New York City Center!
