Great @librarypunk.bsky.social live recording and panel discussion at @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social in Chicago: “Critical AI Takes Too Hot for the (ALA) Mainstage” @kslater.bsky.social

uhhh www.cnn.com/2026/06/26/c...

the paypal mafia really has made the world a worse place, huh

my ungrounded prediction of the day: i think the economy will finally collapse in q4 of this year. and i don't think it'll be because of an ai bubble burst. got no evidence for this claim but it's kinda like a reading the tea leaves feeling...

praying for venezuela

at facct this week? wondering if "political economy" is a rich collection of intellectual tendencies and critical sensibilities, or concerned that it's yet another academic branding tactic?curious about the background text of this flyer? join us!! sat 7-9 at co-op BMP!!

Clean sweep for Zohran, soooooo maybe the most politically effective mayor in NYC history, in addition to being good at the job.

this is actually so scary like people keep talking about how they won't see the impacts of global warming in their generation, but it's here now!! it's happening and we need to address it before it gets even worse

huge dsa / mamdani win in nyc tonight, you love to see it

there's just so much death around us that it's so hard to think about life

tbh i've been thinking for a while that artist and video game communities are pretty decent places to look for how people are actually dealing with generative AI & we could learn a lot from these community-based policies

i can't believe i got bronchitis after this week of stomach flu i'm struggling so hard rn

i want to write a comic book series where the masked hero transitions over the course of the story

jane remover lyrics self-referential in ways that would make douglas hofstadter jealous

wait wdym june onion person is also a chicago underscores fan 🥺 this is so awesome

if i don't have much time in this world, i wanna learn to use that time to love more deeply and fearlessly

I want to believe there's more to this life than just this, I want to find joy and excitement for the future again

memory is both socially constructed and material.

there should be a variant of soccer where each goal is worth the number of in-game minutes that have elapsed since the last goal

As someone who's taught race and ethnic/area studies courses for decades and hears what many colleagues think and what students are taught in other classes, I know you can go through college learning very little about the racist history of this country or a distorted liberal version of it.

the fact that it was supposed to rain in nyc yesterday but was completely clear skies during celebrations and only now it's POURING after everything has ended for the weekend is a sign fr

ok but where can i get a mamdanistan shirt in nyc

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

The Backrooms

I saw someone say we’re going to see a Jaylen Mamdani in 9 months.

the energy in ktown tonight was magical

i still can't believe i was here tonight

Rest of the world: constant, abject misery The New York City subplot:

guys i want to go back outside to celebrate but i literally got in on a red eye this morning and my body is so tired but i've never seen this many people this excited before

C'mon Chicago, let's do this, still time to get to this party

Seattle elects a socialist mayor, wins the Super Bowl NYC elects a socialist mayor, wins the NBA finals Win your city a major sports title with this one neat trick

i can't believe all of nyc is out in the streets for underscores

Brooklyn. 🏀 (via Paul Williams) 💕

i can't believe it

does anyone in nyc want a ticket to see distant worlds (final fantasy) at carnegie hall with nobuo uematsu? we got an extra for tonight's show starting at 8pm

this honestly hurts so much

everyone talks about how supposedly rude nyc folks are, but i've never really felt that... but meanwhile i've seen A LOT of rudeness from world cup fans, like an upsetting amount

it's actually really kind of incredible that i'm in nyc today of all days, like i planned this trip last year but didn't expect everything to overlap like this lmao

bruh there are more people with soccer outfits than knicks outfits in queens rn

a red eye flight being delayed until 4am (destination time) is truly not fun

messed up on hotel bookings so now i have 2 nights in an nyc hotel that i can't cancel, any suggestions on what i can/should do

kinda wild to think about that in 24 hours i'll be sitting in carnegie hall in nyc listening to final fantasy music but at this moment i'm in san jose melting in the sun

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

Just a quick update: It was the biggest comeback in NBA finals history.

y'all... knicks in 5

i'm still shaking from the knicks win you guys

i will be back in nyc the night of knicks game 5, so i am begging for knicks in 5 so i can celebrate on the streets with everyone

still struggling with my health... so much i want to do still. still stuck on excuses. more tomorrow

A-Corps (artist corps) are now legally recognized, and I think this is a really cool moment, not just for musical artists but also as a possible path forward for VTuber agencies that want to give more control to the streamers, artists, etc.. www.artistcorporations.com

time not being absolute nor universal, but also unable to be reversed is messing with my brain so much. but also what happens to quantum entangled particles when one travels near light speed
