The latest from Ailie McDowall and Fabiane Ramos: "The proliferation of decolonising scholarship has contributed to a performative ‘decolonising’ position, obscuring the object of analysis and instead signalling morality and authenticity." doi.org/10.4324/9781...

“Using AI to create art and scholarship adds another layer of insidious censorship. In a way, it’s almost worse — people think they are writing and thinking and making, but in many cases, they are generating something obvious and pre-controlled” irinadumitrescu.substack.com/p/the-world-...

“At the moment, using Operator is significantly slower, more frustrating, and more expensive than simply doing any of these tasks yourself.” Trademark it. Put it on a billboard. The future is here.

RIP David Lynch. He saw the evil at the heart of the family and the nation. He went deeper and deeper into the dark with each film. The final minutes of The Return are the great statement of our filthy and unredeemed century. “What year is it?”

A friend is a professional artist. Has been for many years. He had some thoughts on studying art at university, but I have a suspicion that this reflects a heck of a lot of experiences in practical disciplines at university. Sound familiar to anyone?
