Every once a while I get a reminder why I’m not an active member in Russian diaspora and have maybe only three Russian friends in Sweden. Because even a liberal channel with people who left Russia because of war is full of racist and Islamophobic comments, as well as Russian exceptionalism.

US government rn

Getting ready to watch ‘Heated rivalry’ with my girls. I must say, they really did an amazing job with Russian accent and pronunciation training. I guess it’s hard to find a hockey playing Russian speaking guy for a role like this. Stay tuned for more updates. 🏒👨‍❤️‍👨

It's important to note that the US, UK, and Belgium dissolved his body in acid after killing him. His vision and message were so powerful, and so dangerous to colonialism, that they literally tried to physically erase him from history.

Oh wow. Trump got a hand-me-down Nobel Peace Prize! Did you know: It would not be the first time a Nobel laureate has given his or her medal away: in 1943 Nobel Literature laureate Knut Hamsun gave his medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

I lost access to my Russian phone number many years ago, now trying to digitally sign the divorce papers through the digital government portal sent me on a full Kafkaesque trip: you need a digital signature, but you can’t get one without a Russian phone number. Can’t get the number without the key.

A crowd praying to a golden calf.

I'll be giving a talk next Tuesday for the EUt+ webinar series on digital transformation: "Not the digital transformation you planned for: AI accelerationism versus decomputing" Free registration: forms.office.com/pages/respon...

In Memoriam: Cheney Haunted By People He Didn't Manage To Kill In Iraq War

Well, with that new #ACNH update, life suddenly has more meaning.

We’ve all been there.

I’ve just encountered a second person this year who recommended me the telepathy tapes for my non-speaking intellectually disabled autistic son. That’s two critically misinformed people in my life. I don’t use the word ‘stupid’, but it’s tempting 🤦‍♀️ #autism #AAC

I am so tired of small tech start-up deciding ‘hey, I’ll just use AI and Google translate to create an AAC app without the experience of any localisation translators, SLPs, illustrators, and UX designers, because how hard can it be?!’ And then you have a shit app that claims to have 25+ languages.

It's this time of the year again when mediocre men who only read (insert any popular book from their late teens here) share their opinions and views about the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature on Facebook. #NobelPrize

The amount of men willing to die on the performative virtue signalling Charlie Kirk grief hill is just mind blowing. The trash is talking itself out of all my social media feeds. Guys who ‘stay out of politics’ spoke out. It’s hard to be silent when there’s so much in common with a victim, right?

Playmobil just went straight for ‘hunting for the body of little Timmy in the Woods whilst subduing a a baying mob’

I had the first Lego police station and it didn't even have a jail. Now you can get a maximum security island prison. It has little Lego shackles and a shark.

That goes straight into my Oxford comma slides

So I decided to look for the full interview of Mother Agapia to Tucker 🤢 about Gaza, and the amount of right wing and Zionist propaganda that emerged is staggering. I think I found the real video only after a minute of scrolling. Of course they now claim she is a biological male 🫠

The second paper from my dissertation is out! In it we examine an AI education program in a Swedish vocational education school by looking into student perspectives that highlight strengths and challenges of AI curricula: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #AI #VET #AIEducation

Ok, I seriously suspect that #Salvage magazine will reach the size of Das Kapital at some point. Amazing selection of articles. As usual.

This American Prospect article gives a good rundown. prospect.org/economy/2024...

Finally someone is addressing what is happening to Russian scientists in EU, its double standards, treatment of anti-war scientists, and deliberate sabotage of their careers by some countries. youtu.be/gImeSqQyIzo?...

*I just signed this campaign in support of a Nobel Peace Prize for Francesca Albanese*, the UN Special Rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza, and Gaza doctors. Can you sign and share as well? Thank you 🙏 - secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...

Well, aside from the topic of my thesis, I do occasionally dip my toes into writing about #CripLinguistics and #autism + criticising hegemonic language policies and #enshittification of behind #AAC tools and apps. criticalstudycommunicationdisability.org/index.php/jc...

ICE committed murder.

"Men who sell machines that mimic people want us to become people who mimic machines. They want techno feudal subjects who will believe and do what they’re told. We, as people, are being strategically simplified. This is a fascist process." organizingmythoughts.org/some-thought...

In case you haven’t already deleted #Spotify for their shitty treatment of creatives, now’s the time, unless you want your premium account to finance a military complex faroutmagazine.co.uk/spotify-ceo-...

So, the USA bombs Iran. Will there be any sanctions against the US? Shutting them from SWIFT? Closing the airspace over the US? Deporting exchange American students? Stopping any cooperation with the US universities? Accepting Iranian refugees? Thought so.

I'm willing to help folks pro bono move from Substack to Buttondown (used them for years). cal.com/jackyalcine/... to schedule time (starting in March)

While EU is kicking out regular Russian scientists, it has no issues accepting children of Russian oligarchs and people responsible for war to “work” in art galleries, and other shady businesses. meduza.io/feature/2025...

once again I must tap my own sign

Ужасно.

Oh look who astroturfed themselves into the second place again #BoycottEurovision

He’s back!

Even the seagull gave up. Watching moose migrate is more eventful. #Conclave

A bit of shameless self-promotion: the first article in my thesis is out: ices.library.ubc.ca/index.php/cr... #neoliberalism #vocationaleducation #emi #sweden

Happy Birthday Karl Marx!

Happy #SocialistSunday and let’s bring those greedy bastards down! My student rent just went up 1000 sek, meaning that 50% of my income goes to rent. Please sign the petition if you live in Sweden. Den här frågan är viktig för mig – skriv gärna under: www.mittskifte.org/petitions/st...

Western governments only treated their people well between 1945 and 1990 because they feared the USSR.
