Did you know a former White House climate advisor flipped a GOP stronghold in Virginia by running entirely on putting a stop to more AI data centers? For @heatmap.news I profiled John McAuliff and a campaign that will be a roadmap for all future anti-AI politicians moving forward.

So very good. EVIL is one of my favorite TV shows. It is weird and spooky, they portray demons so well, the main villain Leland Townsend is brilliant, the themes and social commentary always hit, and I love the three main characters. I should rewatch it this winter.

Feeling inspired by all the winning so far? runforwhat.net - it's not too late to get on the ballot for 2026.

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

You gotta think the first AI musical performance on tv is gonna be on Jimmy Fallon and he’s going to make The Roots just sit there and watch that bullshit

Watching and really liking—

The early Miles Davis electric turn is fun listening.

Look everyone we can all have an inept AI robot for just $20,000! Oh, it also needs a lot of human intervention behind the scenes and it’s spying on you with a little camera. Great. The science fiction story we’re all being dragged into really sucks.

This entire series by @marthawells.com is so much fun. Love the books and love the TV series. Really happy to see a new Murderbot book coming out.

Weapons. Yeah. 🎃

The Vintagia Oracle from @acidhorizon.bsky.social is a lot of fun. It hits different than other decks. I dig the different layers of meaning and symbolism - including the Hexagrams from the I Ching. —

This. All the damn time.

I mean, we’re already emphasizing the social media post over the actual experience of the world. Now we can just stay home and pretend the whole thing.

In the things that, is no surprise category—

John Carpenter does cozy nostalgic spooky so well. #halloween #movies

Fantastic world building in this show/film. Amazing cast.

Some beautiful and inspired reading from Rob Hopkins.

Future films will come with a disclaimer that reads, “Note: 5,000,000 gallons of water and the energy requirements of 5 states was used to make this film.*” *No imagination was used in the making of this film.

An important update to an impactful book and global project—

“…this fall, Choi is encouraging students to close their laptops and spend time with Karen Hao’s book Empire of AI, about the evolution and tech behind AI.”

Jane Goodall died on Wednesday at 91 after a life spent revolutionizing the study of primates and then bringing her global fame to the cause of conservation. Here are snapshots from her life and career.

Here I also explained specifically why a fusion breakthrough doesn’t fix climate change: tl;dr: you still have to finance, permit & build tons of reactors (to say nothing of still needing to clean up fertilizer, airlines, cattle burps & more).

A new study, based on a survey of 1,150 workers suggests that the injection of AI tools into the workplace has not resulted in a magic productivity boom and instead increased the amount of time that workers say they spend fixing low-quality AI-generated “work.” 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-workslop-...

Happy Birthday, Trane. Your music continues to speak right to my soul.

Really eager to get my hands on this deck. Damn. How gorgeous.

Lovely book—

Zohran Mamdani — 43.5 Andrew Cuomo — 36.4 THIS is what democracy looks like!

A highly anticipated and much needed addition to thinking about design, speculation, and possible (impossible?) futures.

“The bouncer didn’t seem impressed. But Mr. Batey found a more appreciative audience on the dance floor, where his friends swarmed him, offering hugs and fist bumps.”

Dane DeHaan joins Callum Turner, Briana Middleton and Clémence Poésy in drama series ‘NEUROMANCER' for Apple TV+

Dane DeHaan has joined the cast of #Neuromancer, Apple TV+'s forthcoming series based on William Gibson's cyberpunk novel.

i chatted with the legendary @rushkoff.com about many things, including how techbros “took these tools for creative expression and turned them on us and used them on us with sticky websites and eyeball hours and programmatic algorithms to modify human behavior” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I appreciate this take so much. Thanks, @thebertoni.bsky.social for the perspective, to @alepresser.com for the translation, and @emilymbender.bsky.social for pointing me to this quote on the always wonderful Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000. Also, give them all a follow.

@pdjeliclark.bsky.social, I absolutely loved reading A Master of Djinn. I hope more books are to come from this fascinating universe.

I really dig this book by @johnyorkestory.bsky.social. It’s a great resource for telling better #stories.

Just discovered this wonderful #comic book series from @jefflemire171.bsky.social and @boom-studios.com. I love the illustration style and storytelling. Plus, tarot cards. One of my favorite art forms.

IT’S HERE! Butterfly-winged fairies, mine-dwelling gnomes, sacred stones, serpentine water deities, magicians summoning elemental powers. Pre-orders for The Elemental Issue and The Elemental Bundle are now open WORLDWIDE from our new website: 👉🏼 helleborezine.com

Well done, Wisconsin. Way to show up. #vote

On Wisconsin.

Been using this tiny book with Philip K. Dick’s essay “How To Build A Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two Days Later” for a little #Bibliomancy and of course the answers are weird and completely perfect.

Really good show. Beautiful. Yes, I super binged season one.

Yes. This has been an active part of my work and practice. It’s led to an audit of how I work in digital spaces and has led to a welcome return to more analog forms of imagining.

The HEXEN 2.0 Tarot deck by Susan Treister is back in print. This was always an elusive deck for me to find. It’s a good deck for the current moment. Even more so than when she created it. —

Why do school books present the ethical dilemmas like, "Is it ethical to steal bread when your family is starving?" And not, "Is it ethical to hoard bread when families are starving?"

A quite spectacular book. Ways of imagining otherwise. Exceptions to the false inevitability of the market economy. Carnival. Play. Community.

So this will be a fun panel to participate in. So much to say about this - I’m curious where this chat goes.

HOPSCOTCH is my first dive into the literary world-making of Julio Cortázar. The unfolding of the text, with its #pataphysical exceptions and many imaginary solutions is wonderful. I keep waiting for Dr. Faustroll to emerge from ethernity and spiral across the pages. —

“What We Do On The Shadows” is extra, extra on fire this season.

The Hexen 2.0 #Tarot by Susan Treister is finally coming back in print (Feb, 25). The deck’s alchemically charged images are powerful reminders of the quite strange through line of history—and what might lie ahead. Hexen 2.0 has been hard to find for a good while. Glad it’s back. Find it here:
