Classroom report:

This article by @ursulahuws.bsky.social can still strike the hearts of students learning to be creative workers (and of at least some of the teachers who teach them). It's also a crystal-hard model of dialectical thinking.

Villain or hero? Serious or phony?

When you realise that in the US your life and health
Depend on your wealth.

Born around the time Il Duco
Began his ascendancy in Italy, Michel Foucault
Devoted his career to studying power
Which made him quite the intellectual of the hour.

Attracting acclaim at every turn,
Jacinda Adern
May have inspired high popular turnout
But eventually succumbed to emotional burnout.

The big reversal in Germany’s election

Extreme right (AfD) gained every where but particularly in the poorest regions.

Social Democrats (SPD) lost everywhere but particularly in the poorest region.

As Volodymyr Zelensky
Knows, what’s at stake in this war is immense: key
To the outcome’s what’s under the soil.
What the oligarchs want is rare metals as spoil.

With a fortune made from blowing things up, what would impel
Dynamite mogul Alfred Nobel
To donate from his riches to further world peace?
Was he trying to rebuild it, piece by hurled piece?

Fittingly, since for hardness of heart few could match her,
‘No such thing as society’ Margaret Thatcher
Ended her life, as history admits,
Looked after by strangers in a suite at the Ritz.

At international procrastination

Put the boot in.
