it’s funny to find out about a Mayfair/Fitzrovia gallery I never knew existed through artists posting insta stories about how said gallery has lost their artwork and is ghosting them etc etc

How can you be in a position of UK cultural institutional leadership and argue your position of “we like to take money from arms dealers” worse than chatgpt? fucking idiots.

exhibition spaces and wellness centres in aristocratic homes should make any artist run a fuckin mile but lol, just because people are rich don’t trust them to handle your wallet

4 white people writing about a “crisis” in art criticism wasn’t interesting 10 years ago and it isn’t interesting now

the Barbican VR acid house thing seems like a real nadir of cultural production

went to an art exhibition in Mexico City curated by a British guy and it was so shit, low effort, foundation level. The gringos aren’t bringing their best gentrifiers.

pertinent reminder that zabludowicz collection, even now without a physical space, still exists. in their investment portfolio is a company that services IDF aircraft, which currently bomb women and children.

From interviews on the making of 'The Thick of It', posted without comment.

at the corner of hegel street if anybody wants their ass beat up/off

are zabludowicz relaunching? what the fuck?

have uk art whisper networks deteriorated so much that co-founder of a big art studio/education programme shared a platform with fascist n*** p**** a couple years ago and like nothing is queried about this?

I think @unitetheunion.bsky.social should seriously stop funding the Labour Party now.

Christ what a mess this country is

You won't find an emptier suit outside of a department store. Hard to think of a major world leader this devoid of conviction and courage. Never really seen anything like it. It's like they discovered a new political quality called antileadership or something.

Holly is a legend this would be a great opportunity

FT editorial board just watched andor and finally it clicked for them lol

would be great if MUBI etc had the spine to refuse generative AI “filmmaking” bullshit the only dickheads who even pretend to find this interesting are the same bores who even now would try to tell you that blockchain has a use case

when legacy publications try to astroturf generative AI acceptance for artists they should probably pick better people to profile, not artists who either have the perspective of a baby wanting a spoon plane of sugar OR a humorless secretly racist pick-me capitalist nerd

the best video games in recent years have all been playable on a 2yr old lenovo thinkpad, you just do not need £400 consoles anymore

So basically, there was a Signal chat with tech folks and some Harpers Letter writers, and the Harpers folk were chased out when Andreessen realized they would not go along with censorship. But the tech guys stuck with Chris Rufo. www.semafor.com/article/04/2...

NFTs from a couple of years ago are starting to succumb to link rot. Someday the final server holding the last NFT image will go under, then truly all my apes will be gone

Some reflections on what "AI" is for, why genAI - while being toxic for our minds and creatives - is a bit of a distraction and how discriminative AI is actually making Marc Andreessen's dreams come true. Oh and Fascism. https://tante.cc/2025/04/24/forcing-the-world-into-machines/

can’t wait until Labour fuck up again over the insane fine to essex university which OFS itself doesn’t seem to really know why it’s so high

these beliefs about universities acting like a hive mind to inject some kind of dumbass idea of communism into “the discourse” or whatever all come from boomers on discord, it’s just so removed from reality.

100% of the genuinely transphobic people I’ve interacted with have also been lowkey racist/xenophobic so it tracks they’d be segregationists as well

Is it paranoid to think that this transphobic legislation will ultimately end up enabling a rollback on equal rights which ironically will end up reinforcing patriarchy and bodily policing? Britain is psychically sick enough to destroy itself to make sure a minority can’t live without restrictions

UK SC's definition of 'woman' is a serious affront to decades of labour in queer studies to decouple sex & gender that even WHO recognises. It's a colonial-racial chokehold to safeguard power of TERFs & GCs. Moving forward, all women will have rights curtailed. www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/16/s...

I also agree with this because it's beyond a doubt that what happened in the southern cone in the 1970s-1980s was fascism, flat out, and they all basically got away with it
