Just arrived, the result of a rabbit hole I went down recently.
Harich 'Communism without Growth' (1975 Ge, 2034 Sp)
Not available in English ttbomk, but I can read this translation.
Really interesting engagement with the Meadows Limits to Growth report, from the GDR. Parallel to another from Zagreb at the same time.
The quality of the bits I've read is great.
Verso UK should bring it out.

Chambers has said that he has known since 2015 that he was on the US federal government’s radar,
due to activism against police in Atlanta.
A self-described communist and anti-imperialist, he is heir to one of the richest families in the US,
the owners of Atlanta-based Cox Communications.
He sold stock back to his family worth about $250m in mid-2023 and since then has been funding an estimated 100 projects in 20 countries, Schnabel said.

In the summer of 2023, gearing up for his bid for a second term, President Joe Biden gathered with a cadre of wealthy donors at a $7.5 million mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut.
As the $25,000-a-seat fundraising dinner began, the president turned to thank his host:
Stephen Mandel,
a billionaire hedge fund manager and devoted Democratic donor.
“I wouldn’t be here, standing here as president of the United States, without a lot of you in this room,”
Biden told the…

No i na razie tyle z tego, co istotne. Sprawa chyba jest rozwojowa.
Natomiast tutaj mój prywatny komentarz.
Do wczoraj nie miałem pojęcia, że taki festiwal istnieje. Stoi za nim zapewne niewielki sztab ludzi z ograniczoną ilością czasu i energii. Nie wiem, co się działo za kulisami i nie byłem w pokoju, gdy podejmowano decyzje.
Wiem natomiast, czym jest kanał Zero.
I dostrzegam tu ogromną dysproporcję sił. Spore imperium medialne z zasięgami wśród odbiorców z prawej strony sceny politycznej kontra jakiś mały event, na którym odbywa się dyskusja na temat, który u tych prawicowych odbiorców mógłby "zażreć".
I dostrzegam też, że to wszystko dzieje się w czasie, kiedy pod przychodnią aborcyjną AboTak w Warszawie ustawiają się anti-choicerzy i hałasują całymi godzinami. Prezydent Warszawy mimo licznych próśb nie chce rozwiązać zgromadzenia. Jeśli przejrzycie listę zarejestrowanych zgromadzeń publicznych[1^], to znajdziecie multum zgromadzeń na Wiejskiej 9 zgłoszonych na wiele tygodni do przodu.
I dzieje się to w czasie i okolicznościach, w której wiele kobiet jest zmęczonych i wkurwionych na to, że obecna ekipa rządząca zdobyła władzę w 2023 na postulatach związanych własnie z aborcją - jakieś 3 lata po wielkich strajkach kobiet z 2020 - i nie dowiozła żadnego. W efekcie jest tak, że mamy wybory za dwa lata i sondaże wskazujące na to, że prawica w jakimś kształcie dojdzie do władzy.
Więc w tym kontekście odwołana dyskusja o aborcji na festiwalu w pcimiu dolnym oraz obecność w tej historii znanego medium prawicowego wybrzmiewa znacznie mocniej i wyzwala zrozumiałe emocje.
I na koniec - dorzućcie się na kolektyw Legalna Aborcja. Stronę internetową już chyba będą miały, ale jakiś dodatkowy sprzęt pewnie im się przyda.

July was the second warmest on record globally, tied with 2024, and just behind 2023.
The global average temperature for July 2026 was 16.90°C, 0.67°C above the 1991-2020 average for July and 1.47°C above the estimated pre-industrial average for the month.

Antarctica gained a record 695 billion tons of ice. Scientists found the surprising reason
East Antarctica gained an astonishing 695 billion tons of ice between 2021 and 2023, temporarily slowing Antarctica’s long-term decline. Researchers found that warming thousands of miles away in the tropical ocean altered atmospheric circulation and funneled moisture toward the continent, triggering exceptionally heavy snowfall.

Scientists race to save Florida’s coral reef as El Niño heats the ocean
The waters off the coast of South Florida were already growing warm by late June

that led to the worst mass coral bleaching event on record in the state.

UPLOAD-ANYON: Progress Towards an Optimised Twisted Anyon Cavity with High-Sensitivity AM-Noise Detection for an Ultralight Axion Dark Matter Search
Robert Crew, Emma Paterson, Maxim Goryachev, Eugene Ivanov, Pashupati Dhakal, Tugrul Talha Ersoz, Michael Tobar, Jeremy Bourhill
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.19225 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.19225 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.19225
arXiv:2608.19225v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We propose a superconducting single-mode microwave haloscope based on helical cavity resonators for the detection of ultralight dark matter axions over the mass range $10^{-18}$ to $10^{-13}\,\mathrm{eV}$. Building on the single-mode helical-cavity concept introduced by Bourhill et al. [Phys. Rev. D 108, 052014 (2023); arXiv:2208.01640], we use an inverse-design framework to develop practical resonator geometries compatible with superconducting niobium fabrication. The optimisation employs a figure of merit derived to minimise the measurement time required to achieve a fixed experimental sensitivity. Relative to the heuristic M\"obius-geometry benchmark, the best subtractively manufacturable bulk-niobium design achieves a figure of merit more than three orders of magnitude larger. An experimentally informed microwave interferometric readout model, incorporating measured electronics noise and active suppression of pump amplitude noise, is used to project the sensitivity of the proposed experiment. For an acquisition time of three months, the haloscope is projected to reach $g_{a\gamma\gamma}<10^{-11}\,\mathrm{GeV}^{-1}$ across more than four orders of magnitude in axion mass. The projected sensitivity extends approximately one order of magnitude below the current exclusion limits set by CAST, providing a practical pathway towards a high-sensitivity direct search for ultralight dark matter axions.
