It's Nabil's graduation ceremony tomorrow. He should be excited, but since his family lost their tent in a fire, life has been hard. Can you send him a small gift to lift his spirits and give him the chance to feel like other children do? gofund.me/35fdca7d #Gaza 🍉

Lost behind the incendiary headline and subhead is a third of respondents to More in Common’s survey apparently believe in ‘remigration’, that is, the forced, rapid expulsion of millions of British people who aren’t white to countries they have never lived in. This is a form of genocide

A landfill in Indonesia is still burning more than a week after it caught fire, producing thick, toxic fumes that have sickened and displaced nearby residents, and highlighting the country’s longstanding challenges with waste management.

ChatGPT posters and flyers are polluting real life and driving me insane. Please respond to this with the worst ones you've seen irl. I'll post some in the thread www.404media.co/we-are-livin...

Verity Harding tells WIRED that the US government’s nationalistic attitude toward AI is evidence that a worst-case scenario is taking shape. www.wired.com/story/verity...

The LLM invasion has poisoned the joy of reading a really well-written student paper with the pang of uncertainty about its provenance… and takes the trust with it. There are so many reasons to be upset about all of this, but on the micro scale, this one cuts deep.

In case you're wondering why Palestinians find it necessary to build a digital archive that cannot be erased, it's because their voices are disproportionately censored by companies like Meta: www.hrw.org/report/2023/...

Compliance with neoliberalism has not saved the university. We must reinvent the undercommons. July 17th, 7pm BST, Acid Horizon and @minorcompositions.bsky.social are convening a free panel with comrades from Essex, Goldsmiths, and Edinburgh. We'd love you to join us! www.patreon.com/posts/163158...

"Fascist forces treat the distribution of social murder as a therapeutic form of economic, libidinal, and material redistribution, a bloodletting for the health of the social body of the Volk." Absolute banger here from @sanktmaxtci.bsky.social prometheus-mag.com/2026/03/26/t...

with the Torches of Freedom situation from the previous century it cannot be more obvious how much it always has been, yup olivia.science/before mu.social/profile/oliv...

I think you’ll like this essay by @atomless.bsky.social “Predictive systems only simulate coherence, without, in fact, recognising the user as a subject at all; they do not truly respond to intention or meaning, only to statistical correlation.” 👀 @irisvanrooij.bsky.social

The enjoyment of Starmerism is that of the head teacher, the vindicated manager, the jobsworth. He appears at the football like the boss at the office party everyone hates. Farage shows up with a cheeky wink, pints, and packet because there's a transgression on offer.

This is brilliant. @meredithmeredith.bsky.social is super smart - the account she gives of the risks of mass adoption of the text extrusion machines and how we got here are bang on.

Out now is a new Patreon exclusive episode developing my work on Fascism, Social Murder, and upcoming writings on what I'm calling 'Simulacral Fascism' in the age of digital consumerism. youtu.be/c8G_X_3F94c?...

Acid Horizon’s latest episode focusing on ”The Promise of Cruelty” by @sanktmaxtci.bsky.social, is absolutely brilliant, essential, and urgent youtu.be/c8G_X_3F94c

Watched some stuff on one of the AI slop film streaming sites and there's a clear aesthetic emerging. It's not how they look, it's more that the essence of predictive apparatus output is increasingly recognisable. It's a full emptyness; a hypertrophic density of content entirely absent of meaning.

This Friday I'll be in Barcelona for Historical Materialism on a panel covering Gothic Marxism, presenting a paper on Exorcism, Property, and the Monstering of so-called 'surplus' populations with comrade Ira Terán Fustero ! Full programme is at historicalmaterialismbcn.net

I think we just passed oops.

“Tech isn’t exceptional. Abiding by the product safety requirements found in every other industrial sector should be the norm.” @maevewalsh.bsky.social Precisely. The huge mistake we made w/ the internet/social media was abandoning a duty of care. Instead of age gating, let’s ensure accountability.

Because I have some new followers I thought I’d give this piece a bump. More stuff in this vein coming from me and @cnygren.bsky.social , but in the meantime we hope folks find this useful.

A brutal story. We’ve completely & inexcusably forgotten Sudan. 🙏🏼 to @vanityfair.com “Drones have added a new level of misery to this war; modern warfare where one person sits behind a desk playing a kind of video game & the other person dies. It is the ultimate violence without accountability.”

Gave a speech on our lost decade of which Brexit has played a huge part. It's time to turn the page. The Green Party is offering hope and a plan to end Rip Off Britain. 📸 - aldoshoots

As a matter of principle we shouldn't be working with those complicit in genocide & complicity includes sticking head in sand. When Burnham enters No.10 he has a choice, name the Genocide for what it is and do everything in his power to make it stop, or be a participant through failure & inaction

This is a devastating piece on how awful it is to die of heat stroke. Share it with the air conditioning skeptics you know. I would LOVE to see someone with actual medical knowledge - so, not me - do a brutal piece like this from the perspective of an elderly disabled person dying without AC.

++BREAKING++ Leading climate scientists in the UK have written to senior editors in broadcast media - and OFCOM and IPSO: "To express our concern about recent media coverage of extreme weather, climate change and net-zero and to urge you…to inform public audiences of the scientific links"

This is great. Bacevic is one of the most insightful theorists around at the moment.

“Just as monstrous and mutant algae invade the lagoon of Venice … in the field of social ecology, men like Donald Trump are permitted to proliferate freely, like another species of algae, taking over entire districts of New York.” —Félix Guattari, 1989

OMG

Fascism specializes in violent purges. ICE is the evil claw of USA fascism—aided & enhanced by Silicon Valley. Let's name names and plan for accountability. Read "The Tech Behind ICE: Oligarchs, Immigration Enforcement and the Threat to Democracy" notechforice.com/tech-behind-... #NoTechForIce

I’m curious if pushing AI in schools has to do with artificially closing the gender performance gap between girls and boys. It would track with the tech bro hatred of women outperforming them academically, their hatred of teachers (specifically women), and how AI is a tool for gender-based violence

“Data work is a popular side gig for many Philippine football league players looking for additional income…”

“In a blistering ruling, U.S. District Judge Patrick Schiltz said there was “no doubt” that the subpoenas were issued to damage Walz — part of what he said was a pattern of Trump administration efforts to use criminal process to punish the president’s adversaries.”

My take on “Is AI Making Us Stupider.” “Using AI is itself stupid. It’s stupid because it valorizes the destination while eliding the journey. It’s stupid because current AI models are rooted in massive exploitation of our fellow human beings .”

We used to be connected to each other and took psychedelics together to connect to everything else. Tech billionaires alienated us from each other and now want us to take psychedelics so we can be persuaded we’re not alone, the planet isn’t burning, AI is real, and none of it was their fault.

No, technology is not neutral, and calling AI and other technological contrivances “tools” obscures proper understanding of their role & impact. I encourage everyone to read @lmsacasas.bsky.social. Not just this, but everything he writes…but also THIS!

Correction, 5pm EST!

“The global system of connection built out in the 1990s has turned the social world into a resource for the oldest form of capitalism, extraction. For that kind of work Texas makes an ideal home” thebaffler.com/salvos/the-t...

“We need to rebuild the connective tissue of society…battered first by the emancipatory zeal of the cultural revolution of the 1960’s, & then captured & used by the anti-regulatory conservative movement starting with Reagan, & metastasized by the Trump phenomenon.” 👀 @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social

I wrote a piece for the Yale Review on AI and "jagged intelligence". (Note: headline was not written by me.) yalereview.org/article/mela...

I know this is absurd but it still depresses me how at the base of all this cartoonish evil, NHS doctors are being harassed into using and supporting a company who are aligned with, if not actively enabling, the automated assassination of healthcare workers in Palestine, bombing hospitals with glee.

The Court of Appeal judgement on Palestine Action is frankly bonkers. It says PA is not "a direct action civil disobedience protest group like the suffragettes operating transparently in the open." Right: the arson, bombings, slashings etc were all planned in open meetings in Parliament Square 🙄🧵
