a few months ago i had a great conversation with kate graber and ariana gunderson for the @economicanthro.bsky.social podcast about my dissertation research on corporate sustainability labor in the palm oil value chain.
We talked about a lot of stuff! ⬇️
is there any interesting essay or any kind of text around the obsession (or maybe fetish?) of the continuous use of “the left” and “the right” as imagined political communities?

guau. lo sospechaba pero esto solo muestra mas claramente quien “trabaja” 🥸
The numbers in here are hilarious.

Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%

Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B
Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

Está cabrón que EUA e Israel sólo tuvieron que decir «ya hay cese al fuego» y el genocidio en Gaza desapareció de la agenda público, aun cuando casi nada cambió en terreno.

El genocidio sigue, pero las élites políticas y mediáticas ya no tienen que fingir que les importa.
No, there is no ceasefire in Gaza
Israel’s bombing of Gaza is not a ‘violation of the ceasefire'. It is a continuing genocide under diplomatic cover.

During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

Israel va a aplicar en Gaza el mismo modelo de “ceasefire” que en Líbano, que como dice Francesca Albanese consiste en tu “cesas” y yo “disparo”. En Líbano han asesinado a + de 100 civiles desde noviembre. apnews.com/article/leba...
Israel has killed more than 100 civilians in Lebanon since ceasefire, UN says

seems bad
Record heat now outnumbers record cold by more than 3 to 1 in the US. In a normal climate, they’d be equal. After billions of years of natural hot & cold cycles, human forcing has now overtaken nature as the longterm driving force of our present & future climate.

breve regreso a esta red social para compartir que el miércoles estaré platicando de mi tesis de doctorado, aventando algunas ideas sobre cadenas de valor globales, aceite de palma, el deseo por un capitalismo sustentable y nuestra relación afectiva con el trabajo 🌴

mataron a los periodistas, mataron a los activistas, mataron a los médicos, mataron a los rescatistas, mataron a los poetas, mataron a las familias, mataron a los deudos, mataron a los olivos, mataron a las abejas, están matando de hambre a lo que queda y aún no están saciados de muerte
