It's Ramadan and I am thinking deeply of spirit. And I think a lot about what some call "doomerism" as actually a lot of unprocessed grief mixed with a longing for meaning and purpose in life.

I have been of the opinion for about five years now that we are all mostly clinging to the *idea* of social media. But that it has not existed, as we mean it, since Jack sold Twitter. The minute capital lined up to fold social media into its technocratic political consolidation, it stopped existing.

All the “leaders” who think that what they are doing now is safeguarding the long-term health of their institutions really should be asking themselves what someone is going to write about them in a century. It’s not just an abdication of morality — it’s a baaaad look.

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

A disrespect for me as an educator means that a basic piece of sociality and trust has been broken and so I don’t owe anyone generous feedback. But I don’t need to be punitive either. That’s what those who are selling these products want. They want to exhaust us into resignation.

But what if recognised institutions as a barrier towards mutual aid; institutions are not inherently good or bad, there are historical and scaling effects the abstract efficacies. We don't inherently 'need' "a better matrix". We need better social relations, and the more direct, the less bad?

You know what we won't need once handwriting recognition software has done its thing? Archivists, curators, conservators, catalogers, codicologists, or paleographers. We won't need archives either. We won't need diplomatics, editorial theory, book or media history, or material culture studies 🗃️🧵

Currently doing some marking. A reminder to everyone involved in archives and collections: digitisation is not preservation. If I digitise a box of records and put the files on a USB stick I haven't preserved a thing. It's all about what you do with the files post-digitisation.

Librarians *should* be exercising more judgement and objective expertise, looking at the whole picture, thinking about long term & bibliodiversity. Libraries do not receive budget to "buy content" they receive budget to "disseminate knowledge".

The far-right majority in the Dutch parliament (BBB-FvD-JA21-PVV-SGP-VVD) has just designated “Antifa” a terrorist organization. This is a dark day for Dutch democracy and the final nail in the coffin of the VVD as a serious liberal democratic party.

I like that this piece argues for a democratising understanding of open science over the more neoliberal one they view as common. I've always felt that a more robust understanding of democratisation is needed for open movements, rather than just assuming that democracy is implied in free culture.

So, if you think it’s just about whether repros are “good” or “bad,” you get mired (as the combatants of the Facsimile Debate did) in some petty moral quicksand. It’s not the tech that’s good or bad, it’s the politics and cultural practices and economics in which a given tech is situated.

It is only mildly hyperbolic to drop a zero and suggest that "There is absolutely no way that any digital media that exists today will be accessible in 30 years." I'm not kidding. What digital media do you have from 1995 that you can access easily right now?
