Watched the Appalachian Mountains get shipped to India at 8,000 tons per hour.

Arch Daily has a competition up to be their unpaid intern next year. If that isn't a sign to avoid that site, I don't know what is. Pay your interns, no matter what.

Kept seeing the term Roko’s Basilisk as some ominous tech riddle so I finally had to look it up and OH BROTHER it’s dumb. Silicon Valley, you rubes. You weird fascist rubes.

Thanks to Steve Jobs and Gorilla Glass, factories in America are now ramping up to make affordable windows, made from panes thinner than a credit card, that can: * save Americans $25 billion / year * withstand a 2x4 shot out of a cannon (gift link) www.wsj.com/business/cor...

Nice BBC piece on kvass that for once takes the Lithuanian angle. It's called gira (meaning "drink") in Lithuania, but it's the same ... ahem ... drink. www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

folks I think maybe the problem is tech companies blatantly ignoring copyright law and not libgen, the website that lets you pirate college textbooks

This article is causing conflict between people who hate tech capital and people who love libgen. As somebody who hates capital and loves knowledge, my take is that scraping libgen would be completely fine as a public project. Privatizing public knowledge is unacceptable.

How much did Apple's show Severance take from Marxism? @zunguzungu.bsky.social ponders the question in our latest print issue: prospect.org/culture/2025...

if you know anyone in a foreign country willing to hire a journalist / architecture critic (me) please let me know!

For you Sun Ra fans out there, just posted mini documentary about Sun Ra and his Intergalactic Arkestra, shot at Sun Ra's house in Philadelphia, and aired on French TV archive.org/details/sun-...

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, I covered Trump’s Executive Order to dismantle the Department of Education—paving the way for Republicans to slash support for students, teachers, and schools. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will fight this every step of the way.

Hello my siblings in cybernetic socialism, the Abundance idea has legs and is highly susceptible to entryism. Get in, winners, we're hijacking the centrist memeplex.

Actual quote by a City Council member on why we need to expand Peña Boulevard from 2 lanes to 3.

UbuWeb, a pirate library of avant-garde artifacts, closed in 2024. But last month, they started the site back up again. “Archiving reemerges as a strong form of resistance, a way of preserving crucial, subversive, and marginalized forms of expression.” [ubu.com]
