"Using the internet without agency" euroblog.jonworth.eu/using-the-in... A quick rant, based on a both defeatist and perceptive comment from one of my students yesterday, and drawing on some posts from @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com

tried to click on bathos, clicked on bathysphere instead, mercury retrograde helping chaos

I don't know what's going on but all my friends are roasting me though accurate psychological observations today and it is as funny as it is painful

it's quite good

there is no feeling as good as finishing a book

the worst part about learning more history is just uncovering more evil dudes, niche evil dudes, hipster evil dudes

for my new-media friends

eurostar food has tanked since the thalys merger

People saying LAX or CDG are pikers. It's obviously LaGuardia, the sky's bus station; Pisa, which is Panera run by Ryanair: or DFW, where the planes drive around the parking lot. LAX is no worse than Logan and CDG is an absurdist masterpiece. Best: LGB & TF Green.

catch my set on the 5.4

people keep reposting this but to keep the past alive, what people lost with google reader was the social aspect, where you could comment on posts with your friends friends and have a slow, steady, thoughtful social network from it and then ofc insta &c. killed a lot of the blogs that drove rss

As an alum I'm not surprised by the @recursecenter.bsky.social stance (gotta make $$ by placing people in AI jobs) but I am quite disappointed. Slicing off the clear, real-world harms of the LLM boom & then saying there no room for "dogmatism" (aka actual ethics) is such a dishonest take.

imagine you're a bug flying around minding your own business and this is the last thing you see 🐝😱🪶

sparing you from so much sports complaining now

my no. 1 change I'd make to soccer is the person fouled has to take the penalty, none of this "best kicker" stuff

I'm gonna be at the Chicago Zine Fest this year (repping @nonmachinable.com) // Chicagoans come out!

lmfao I will not ever do this stop asking

oscillators!

absolutely seagull I will yell and take your food

every minute I spend thinking about types in Javascipt is a minute of life I will never get back

first as tragedy, then as farce, then as a secret, third even stupider thing

screens from the Codie show at ICLC. really want to make glasses that mimic my astigmatism for everyone else to enjoy at max the way I can

great art inspires great art

During the pandemic, the US implemented the most effective social welfare policies in our history -- programs that worked because they were big enough, simple, and universal. And then we withdrew them. This remains imo the central economic-policy story of our times. davisvanguard.org/2025/05/3hou...

so lovely

David drove his toes off! Now he's home and I've switched to train to go on to Scotland. I didn't have opinions on the Dolomites before but the Alps? Quite good. I do regret to inform you Austria is 80% tunnel tho.

maybe the thing I most envy people of the past for is rent being cheap enough you could have a bare room in which you might subject people to your experimental video art

surprise!

reminding myself of how meter works and the wiki page on iambic pentameter is an absolute treasure: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iambic_... (honorable mentions to tetrameter (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrame...) and spondee (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondee))

it's true: the shriekers are back

@orangetronic.bsky.social got a great photo of me as I appear to myself
