@chrislhayes.bsky.social listening to you talk about the institutionalists vs the insurrectionists is how we frame up our argument in “Meme Wars.” We argue that insurrectionary momentum on the right, from Occupy thru the insurrection, got us here. www.bloomsbury.com/us/meme-wars...

We are witnessing the first generation of students who have full access to generative #AI and the first generation of teachers who are bombarded with offers to use AI tools. Is this leading to the creative destruction of knowledge ecologies? berlinergazette.de/generative-a...

Often wonder what I would I tell my younger self about a life of financial precarity in the arts. And then my daughter expresses interest in art school. Gulping down my fear, I say that will be wonderful darling! Because in spite of everything + utter disrespect from successive govs I still believe

I have had an original VHS copy of Industrial Symphony No. 1 and now it’s streaming! That and an original VHS copy of Hal Hartley’s “Trust” were the only reason I had a VCR up to 2023.

Electric cars produce more microplastics from braking than petrol cars because they're heavier. Car tyres are the source of about a quarter of microplastics. (Electric cars also run people over and put people off sustainable travel as much as petrol cars. Reducing driving must be the goal.)

How does software shape action? What does it mean to act in systems designed to optimise, administrate, and neutralise participation? Can we find agency within infrastructures that continuously update us? aksioma.org/ayasu/ at @aksiomaorg.bsky.social #tacticsandpractice

Judith Butler: “Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed”

Miserable February weather and geopolitics, so time for a bit of weekend board game escapism.

A company is genetically engineering potatoes to grow casein, the key protein in dairy. “While precision fermentation will continue to gain momentum, molecular farming offers a potentially cheaper and more scalable approach” (but expect "big hurdles along the way") www.zmescience.com/science/news...

I’m an AI critic but get a ton of anti-AI readers who can’t read or use nuance (see below) and it drives me into doom spirals. I have a mute list for people who do this on stuff they don’t read, or dunk on stuff because someone else did. You can also avoid these people. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I hate to break to Trump but Two-Spirit (trans) people have existed here in North America for thousands of years. They predate the arrival of white people and their “Christianity.” Trans people will be here long after Trump is dead and gone.

“Listening to stories and making sense of parents’ memories are obsessions of immigrant children in settler colonial societies. Perhaps this reminds us why we’re here, what we lost to make the journey, how we fit in or don’t.”

We have an IG account and it's noticeable how ever more 'ensh*tified' it's become in recent weeks. SO MUCH of everything is ads now. Dubious content also on the up and some perplexing follower inconsistencies where you no longer follow people you definitely did.

“In 2022-23, 11% of the UK population lived in a household experiencing food poverty — including 17% of all children. That same year, 2.3 million people lived in a household that used a food bank. So poor is the British diet that the average 5-year-old is now shorter than they were 20 years ago.”
