📅There's a week until the deadline to register to vote📅

So important that everyone has chance to vote and have their voices heard in next month's elections.

Local elections are just as important as general elections.

How to pluralize Platform capitalism-s? A short thread on some readings that complicate the useful but preliminary account by Nick Srnicek @n_srnck ; and also pluralize singular accounts of capitalism that neglect its institutional & geographical variations

[Faber Books @FaberBooks]

We headed to the Faber archive to gather together some of the covers The Waste Land has had throughout the years. Which cover does your copy have?

[John Hodgson @JohnHodgsonUoM]

Transitions in Print exhibition is now open at @TheJohnRylands. Blown away by the astonishing objects on display, inc. the St Christopher woodcut of '1423', Gutenberg indulgence, blockbooks, etc. Congratulations @simps_julianne, @temilyan and colleagues.

@photogramikka @JustStop_Oil Also rubbish politics and optics. Millions of people sympathetic to the goal of stopping oil will be upset and repelled by stunts like this.

This isn’t how you build a coalition for change.

I think of all the hoops that my graduates need to jump through to get their first job. And all the competencies they will need to demonstrate.

And then I look at the staggering incompetence of the UK govt.

Every single one of my students would do a better job. No question.
