Mamoru Oshii’s rendering of Ghost In The Shell is 30 today. This is a film that has lived inside me, and its themes are something I have visited, and revisited, through various periods of my work. I had the pleasure to interview the film’s composer Kenji Kawai. thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

Every AI enthusiast is gonna be in a dark place soon and it is our collective duty to mock them and make it worse.

Today Carney is announcing a new list of "nation-building" projects. All ought to be fiercely resisted. #cdnpoli 🧵 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The whole thing has the aire of "The Heritage Foundation threatened to cut the MCU's Dept. of Defense funding if we didn't publish this" #FizzVsComics

In 1999, a woman named Jessica Gonzales sought and obtained an order of protection against her physically abusive husband ("AH"), who had repeatedly threatened to kill her and their three children. The order included language specifically limiting when and where AH was allowed to see the children.

Erroneous articles can undermine scientific progress & mislead future research. Rene Aquarius &co show that 40% of articles on early #BrainInjury in animal studies have #ImageDuplication & #ImageManipulation problems, but correction by #journals remains limited @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4p59QzN

Time for @schumer.senate.gov to go. Use this letter campaign to demand Senate Dems who opposed this terrible bill REMOVE Schumer as Senate Minority Leader. OR lose our donations and support.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Democrats Sick Of Being Blamed For Cowardice On Issues They Actually Just Don’t Care About

I saw @schumer.senate.gov give the same tired speech again and again, such an encapsulation of the problem with career politicians. What a disappointment. We must primary him. No more votes for weak opposition. We need vision and a party that cares about its base, not its funders.

There's a book by @annieabrams.bsky.social about how this garbage happened and what we can do. Especially teachers.

It’s been a while since I hopescrolled

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

Somehow it's been nearly 5 years since I released this. Should I do a physical release? Here are some codes lostchildren.bandcamp.com/album/music-...

Presenting my piece al-rambla at Akousma tonight in Montreal!

We can’t feel entitled to forgiveness or the very concept of forgiveness becomes worthless. We all know Christians who act this way, as preemptive justification for acting wrongly. True repentance means accepting those who can’t forgive, taking responsibility for the effects of our actions.

This is the right way to deal with having said hurtful things or expressed destructive beliefs in the past. Acknowledge it was wrong, acknowledge you hurt people, and own it. We’ve all had Bad Takes before, and if we’ve changed we’ll admit they were bad and try to repair the hurt we’ve caused.

I think the wealthy of this town are trying to rewrite history with their Precarious State circle jerk on all their corporate stations & papers I think they don't want us to realize our PBS is telling the accurate history of Mayors & Cops in this town. Watch Paradox next Tuesday at 7pm on TPT2!

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Once again reminding folks that the ethical replacement to using Spotify isn’t another streaming platform; it’s buying music from artists when you’re in the financial position to do so and pirating them when you’re unable to do so. Or simply ask an artist for the files, like actually.

The second release in the IFS meets... series is a record made with @poemproducer.bsky.social, a legendary figure, activist, vocalist, and sound artist. I am very happy that AGF is returning to outlines, and in a vocal version at that. I am a big fan of her voice and her stories. 💿📅➡️ 10.10.2025

“AI” isn’t a tool or technology or even a cluster of technologies with a misleading name. It’s the infrastructure at the foundation of a form of capitalism dependent on data brokering. We should be teaching our students about this and not teaching them about “responsible” use.

This essay, by an Egyptian-American former New Yorker staff fact-checker, is an incredible read And incredibly damning Huge recommendation

Can we stop making EK* trend please? Guess what, their class politics align, don’t look to those folks for liberation or even practical politics because they’ll sell you out as soon as it’s prudent. Let these centrists fade into irrelevance, they are media personalities and thrive on attention

Great article from @columjournreview.bsky.social on the sorry state of eBook DRM monopolies. University presses are complicit in this trend. Independent music distributors abandoned DRM decades ago--that model could work for nonprofit/small publishers too. www.cjr.org/analysis/the...
