Some thoughts on the 50th anniversary of the end of the war in Viet Nam, and how we can draw a straight line from that war to El Salvador and Bukele’s prison, and to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine, and what role that otherness plays.

"Research on misinformation is not “censorship” but cancelling it is. Such grants were peer-reviewed by scientific experts...& awarded through previous Congressional appropriation. Cancelling them violates NSF’s duty to honor contracts & ethically manage the funds appropriated by the US Congress."

speaking my language - I'm still convinced radio is the future: "Radio is the ultimate internet circumvention tool because it is not the internet. And it can’t be tracked." #othernetworks www.radioworld.com/columns-and-...

Currently experiencing Sidinghenge alignment here in San Francisco: when the sun lines up with a tiny crack between my building and the next to illuminate the tiny siding overlap on the building next door. #sidinghenge2025

Reminder: we are being trained not to care about other people. It underlines the attacks on migrants, on DEI, on trans youth, on so-called "wokeness." Sure there are legitimate critiques but this is not about critiques. It's about supercharging capitalism's culture of uncare.

The carry-on luggage of a rather disheveled-looking pilot currently boarding my plane. Slightly concerned…

“But no. It’s just The Bell Jar. Page after page of it. They’ve even moved from the original 1963 edition to annotated versions, as well as reproducing an obscure critical essay of the novel originally published in a 1978 edition of Harper’s magazine.”

"Rather than the unsullied words of the immortal bard, the chimps are writing nothing but copies of Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar." (via @mcsweeneys.net)

Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see 1. The data it was trained & evaluated on 2. The code 3. Model architecture 4. Model weights. DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.

Hard to believe but 18 years ago, I sent the great Alfonso Cuaron an advance copy of The Shock Doctrine and asked if he might be willing to write a blurb. He made a short film instead. This is it. Still chills me. Share with whoever you think it might help. www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7fW...
