  A heartwarming philosophical meditation on how to live a fulfilling life—inspired by the inherent happiness of dogs. 
   
   
   
  If you have spent any part of your life with a dog, you may have found certain questions popping, unbidden, into your mind: Is my dog living a fulfilled life? Is my dog a good dog? Does my dog love me? Addressing these questions compels you to confront not just your dog's life but yours as well—to think about what fulfillment, and meaning, in life really is. 
   
   
   
  In The Word of Dog, philosopher Mark Rowlands explores these questions and suggests that in dogs we can see hints—faint, shrouded, but discernible—of what a better way of living might look like. Perhaps none of us can be happy in the way a dog can, but The Word of Dog shows us we could do a lot better than we're doing simply by listening to the unspoken wisdom our dogs reveal to us every day of their happy, uncomplicated lives.

  The Warren Report - The Murder...

  In delving into the examination of the Warren Report, a narrative unfolds, revealing a tapestry of controversies and criticisms that have woven doubt into the fabric of its conclusions. The central pillar of contention revolves around the report's assertion that Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone, was the sole perpetrator behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. 
   
  As the report posits Oswald as the lone gunman, dissenting voices rise, challenging the simplicity of this conclusion. Critics argue that the investigation failed to adequately explore alternative theories that propose the involvement of multiple assailants. This fundamental disagreement casts a shadow over the narrative crafted by the Warren Commission. 
   
  A particularly contentious element within the report is the infamous "magic bullet" theory. This theory contends that a single bullet traversed through both Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally, causing seven wounds in the process. Detractors find this scenario implausible, citing the trajectory and the severity of the injuries as evidence that contradicts the narrative woven by the commission. 
  The narrative takes a twist as the completeness of the investigation comes under scrutiny. Critics contend that key witnesses were left uninterrogated, and crucial pieces of evidence remained inadequately examined. The suggestion that the commission may have overlooked vital information introduces an air of skepticism surrounding the integrity of the narrative.

  Susan Sontag meets Hanif Abdurraqib in this fascinating exploration of the unexpected connections between how we consume images and the insidious nature of Fascism. 
   
   
   
  Images come at us quickly, often without context. A photograph of Syrian children suffering in the wake of a chemical attack segues into a stranger's pristine Instagram selfie. Before we can react to either, a new meme induces a laugh and a share. While such constant give and take might seem innocent, even entertaining, this barrage of content numbs our ability to examine critically how the world, broken down into images, affects us. Images without context isolate us, turning everything we experience into mere transactions. It is exactly this alienation that leaves us vulnerable to fascism—a reactionary politics that is destroying not only our lives and our nations, but also the planet's very ability to sustain human civilization. 
   
   
    
  Who gets to control the media we consume? Can we intervene, or at least mitigate the influence of constant content? Mixing personal anecdotes with historical and political criticism, Image Control explores art, social media, photography, and other visual mediums to understand how our culture and our actions are manipulated, all the while building toward the idea that if fascism emerges as aesthetics, then so too can anti-fascism.

  Lenin - Responding to...

  Vladimir Lenin lies in a tomb in Moscow's Red Square. History has not been kind to this Russian leader, his teachings reviled by modern mainstream politics. But in today's capitalist society, riven by class inequality and imperialist wars, perhaps it is worth returning to this communist icon's demand for "Peace, Land and Bread", and his radical understanding of democracy. 
   
   
   
  Lenin was wrestling with the question of "what is to be done?" when facing the catastrophes of his own time. Against the odds, the Bolshevik party succeeded in rejecting both the corrupt and decaying Romanov dynasty, as well as the capitalist economic system which had started to take root in Russia. 
   
   
   
  To understand how this happened, and what we can learn from him today, Paul Le Blanc takes us through Lenin's dynamic revolutionary thought, how he worked as part of a larger collective, and how he centered the labor movement in Russia and beyond, uncovering a powerful form of democracy that could transform our activism today.
