Elon Muskβs $1.25 Trillion Mirage
Yanis Varoufakis explains the mechanics of the spectacularly specious valuation of the recent SpaceX-xAI merger.
How $1.25 Trillion Mirage was engineered: More often than not, share prices are rigged - which is why they are a dreadful predictor of profitability even on average, and why they have become the primary instrument for transferring wealth upwards. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/m...

This paper has been taking shape in the back of my mind since the 1st year of my PhD. I have long been drawn to Debordβs work, so much so that, when I visited Paris, I went to Quartier Latin *only* because of him. I am genuinely excited to finally publish this!

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization
It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maherβs detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Waelβs caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didnβt get to say goodbye.

Hi I'm in Lisbon and it's like my hometown (Athens) but even better and I fell in love with the city β€οΈ and if I don't move either here or in Paris or somewhere in Southern Europe in the next few years I think I will lose whatever personality I have left π

Would UK HE be better able to defend itself against charges of irrelevance if its senior management hadn't spent the last decade pushing the narrative that a university is nothing more than an overpriced skills training facility with some modest probability of an income premium?

Great news on a Sunday(+a journal with a 5% acceptance rate! @efpraxiaz.bsky.social and I analysed the EU AI Act via Critical Discourse Analysis. While it initially emphasises human rights, it then constructs migrants+refugees as threats, justifying surveillance tech (and even polygraphs?)

If you are DMing me here,I am (unfortunately) not receiving your messages due to not having access to my DMs. I refuse to verify my age, as I have been writing and conducting research on techno-politics for awhile, I know where this is going and I dont like it. Feel free to email me instead:)

Not to flex, but I designed an entire study (co produced with PPIE panels and individuals from diverse backgrounds) navigated both the famously challenging NHS and university ethics processes (half the time I had no idea what I was doing)+today I got provisional acceptanceπ₯³
