Much of this work is entirely pointless. Whole industries (think telemarketers, corporate law, private equity) whole lines of work (middle management, brand strategists, high-level hospital or school administrators, editors of in-house corporate magazines) exist primarily to convince us there is some reason for their existence. Useless work crowds out useful (think of teachers and administrators overwhelmed with paperwork); it’s also almost invariably better compensated. As we’ve seen in lockdown, the more obviously your work benefits other people, the less they pay you.
The system makes no sense. It’s also destroying the planet. If we don’t break ourselves of this addiction quickly we will leave our children and grandchildren to face catastrophes on a scale which will make the current pandemic [covid-19] seem trivial.
— David Graeber, ibid

Today, thousands of anti-fascists assembled around the UK to face down racist rallies. Most of the rallies never materialized.
Whenever fascists strike a blow, if we respond quickly and boldly, it offers an opportunity to draw more people into the struggle against capitalism, white supremacy, and the state. We must not let anyone imagine that the police will deal with fascists for us—on the contrary, they are a much greater threat to freedom than any group of ordinary racists.

TIL Jeff Koons' studio resembles an art factory. He doesn't do the sculpting or much of the painting in his artwork. It's his ideas & standards but artisans do the labor. In 2019, his stainless steel inflatable rabbit resold for $91 million; highest ever paid at auction for a work by a living artist [source, comments]

Far-right pogroms are shaking large parts of the UK, with looming fears of an ever more violent night ahead today. Police say at least 100 further far-right gatherings are planned in several cities. Police say 100 new far-right events are scheduled for today.
A hit list of 39 targets for right-wing extremist attacks is circulating on the internet, mainly offices of immigration and asylum authorities. Previously, mosques and migrant businesses were attacked during night-time riots. So far, only 425 people have been arrested.
Counter-demonstrators are planning to mobilize to protect people at risk. While community leaders and politicians have urged people to stay at home and “let the police do their job,” more and more activists and migrants are mobilizing, disillusioned with the state that became the fertile ground for the mass pogroms in the first place.
