I have been invited to take part in PEN America's 2025 World Voices Festival, a tremendously exciting proposition for a relatively new and unconnected author. I am declining this invitation in solidarity with Palestine, and reaffirming the boycott put in place by Writers Against the War on Gaza.

How do autocrats stay in power? Our new research dives into the strategies of political control—repression, co-optation, and indoctrination—used across 229 autocracies from 1946 to 2010. What we found will change the way you think about authoritarian resilience. 🧵👇

Lev Manovich has a new book out on generative AI and art. Since his earlier work has been so central to our thinking about digital media studies since the 2000s, his taken on generative AI would be interesting to explore: manovich.net/index.php/pr...

David Lynch (1946 - 2025). RIP. The Straight Story is an underrated film of his.

Ouverture dès demain, au @centrepompidou.bsky.social, d'une exposition autour de Suzanne Valadon que j'ai hâte de découvrir. Il en sera sans doute question sur ce compte... Il s'agit, en tout cas, de la première grande exposition de l'année 2025. #HDA

i see people betting on the idea of federation in bluesky. at the same time, we should bet on simplifying mastodon at scale. approach the problem from both directions. we may need and not have federation in bluesky at some point. it couldn't hurt to have a better lifeboat.

A step in the right direction. (Interesting to see this and the #Mastodon announcement on the same day!)

This piece by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is insightful re: Musk/Zuck/Trump. Upshot: The gov/mainstream media don’t really have much of a clue as to what they’re facing. Relevant today also given the techno-optimism of the UK gov “AI Opportunities Action Plan”.

I’m increasingly not a fan of broad opinion pieces - they’re inherently more open to errors. Case in point: “…our children will have always-available tutors perfectly tuned to their personalities and learning styles.” 🤦‍♂️ #edtech www.nytimes.com/2025/01/12/o...

This sounds significant. Section 15 of Ireland’s Climate Act requires public bodies to act in a way to further the Climate Action Plan and Long Term Strategy - threat of legal action should compel them to include climate in their core mandates.

Excellent and detailed read re: complexities of effective enforcement of social media regulation in liberal democracies. Very interesting in light of @davidallengreen.bsky.social’s FT piece I posted earlier.

Good article below on social media and the state. In summary, the real power lies in action by: Government/Policymakers: Strong regulation. People: Disengagement

There’s nothing wrong with targeting financial assets of criminal actors, including smugglers. But it won’t change the fact that people need to escape danger & there are no safe routes. Squeezing boat supply chains so far has led to smugglers using poorer quality & flimsier boats🤷‍♀️ #r4today
