Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

Gee, I wonder why billionaires want to control the encyclopedia. (Kudos to the contributors of this very astute section of Zohran Mamdani's Wikipedia bio.)

#zohranmamdani gave a strong speech. Goosebumps actually. Not to sound like a fatalistic dick but can y'all make sure he doesn't get shot?

"...Hence the extreme difficulty. But I hope perhaps tomorrow to have done, and then the dinner party and Kitty in the country should go quicker. At least I find the upper air scenes much simpler; and I think it's right to keep them so. But Lord what a lot of work still to do! It won't be done […]

I'm researching too much on AI, Peter Thiel and whatnot. Seriously. Fuck Peter Thiel and all these assholes misusing Tolkien's lore. I mean, let alone everything else. But yeah. That one's a particular nnnnyyyuuurghhhh

This is a rephrasing of something I've said a few times in the past, but I think needs to be said again... and again... every day, day after day, until we understand it. > There is a cultural blindness to the equivalent exchange inherent in violence. Every scar you inflict leaves one behind. A […]

Oscar and Grammy winner Billie Eilish puts her money where her mouth is — and she's telling other affluent people to do the same. The 23-year-old singer is donating $11.5M of ticket sales from her Hit Me Hard and Soft tour to charitable organizations that support food equity and climate justice […]

Here's an interesting conversation on #ai between Hank Green and author Nate Soares on his new book "IF ANYONE BUILDS IT, EVERYONE DIES" "Superhuman AI threatens human extinction. But it's not too late to change course." https://youtu.be/5CKuiuc5cJM?si=_f5sfNu92y7vZKLb

Hannah Shelley gives Google Scholar another 5 years. "Google has a proven track record of killing academic tools, Scholar generates zero revenue in a company obsessed with billion-dollar priorities, AI is disrupting traditional research discovery, and academia has built critical infrastructure […]

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true. _This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure. https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/29/forrester_ai_rehiring/

Roaches give him the howling fantods. The parishes around N.O. had been having a spate or outbreak of a certain Latin-origin breed of sinister tropical flying roaches, that were small and timid but could fucking fly, and that kept being found swarming on New Orleans infants, at night, in their […]

Was bedeutet diese Erkenntnis für uns? Resignation? Keineswegs. Sie bedeutet eine radikale Neuausrichtung unserer Strategie. Wenn die Logik-Meister sich selbst überflüssig machen, liegt unsere Überlebenschance genau im Gegenteil: im Unlogischen, im Emotionalen, im spezifisch Menschlichen. Die […]

A violent rain storm on the pond. The pond is covered with little white thorns; springing up and down: the pond is bristling with leaping white thorns, like the thorns on a small porcupine; bristles; then black waves; cross it; black shudders; and the little water thorns are white; a helter […]

I was desire's dog. I ate when I was fed. I did what I was told. I knew how to sit, stand and roll over on command. When I was petted, I was made whole. Even when I dreamed, I dreamed a chain around my neck. Desire is a bone with traces of fat. It's the wag smell of a bitch in heat. It's that […]

Here's the thing, say Shug. The thing I believe. God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the world with God. But only them that search for it inside find it. And sometimes it just manifest itself even if you not looking, or don't know what you looking for. Trouble do it for […]

I was recently let go from a job at a magazine publisher, like many other people in print press related jobs this year. We recently had to put a very obviously very badly AI generated image on the cover because well you know why. Anyway, people are actually sending emails to the company how […]

this is a project I've been working on for my partner. while there's a lot of room to gain skill and experience I'm rather happy with the result. I learned a fair bit about lighting, long exposure and the existence of rear curtain sync. #photography #art #dancing #vienna

I find that @bert_hubert is spot on in his article (as always). AI/LLMs will be around post-collapse. The tech is useful. The hype and the ethic violations are harmful, but not inherent. But I'd love to call out this quote in particular: "[...] selling to clever people is not a trillion […]

Actually, I do want to come back to masculinity under patriarchy and whiteness under white supremacy because I think it's worth talking more about. The "man" under patriarchy (at least "Western" patriarchy) is represented as power and independence. The man needs nothing and thus owes nothing to […]
