More than half a million workers are on strike across the UK today, the biggest strike in a decade. Schools are closed, railroads are halted, and government offices are empty. The unions are striking for better pay with the cost of living soaring.

This is a great breakdown on exactly why childless ppl (if they choose to) are so important in the lives of parents *and* kids. I’ve never been one who thinks childless ppl have nothing to say/offer parents/kids.

I love her take 💯 on not having kids.

Fiscal policy is tied to bond sales *because* it gives the ruling class an option to sanction the government in order to maintain the class divide. It's a feature, not a bug.

Ecofascism is going to become a greater problem for climate justice in the coming years. And it's not just the overt racists and nationalists we have to worry about. But also well-funded organisations like Population Matters, the middle-class respectable face of ecofascism.

With a few exceptions, political economists, including those who talk about power, have been silent about the theory of capital as power. bnarchives.yorku.ca/641/ It would be nice to have this silence finally broken -- though somehow we doubt this is about to happen. But try.

Yanis, you argue that we no longer live in capitalism, but in 'technofeudalism', but the features you describe are neither new, nor non-capitalist. They are part and parcel of the capitalist mode of power. @yanisvaroufakis youtu.be/Ghx0sq_gXK4 via @YouTube

How many gamers know a black inventor was behind the very first video game cartridge? Designer Gerald Lawson created the Fairchild Channel F. He pioneered using consoles to play an endless number of games, a pillar of the video game industry to this day.
