"A poem by Kareem Parkis-Brown" ❤️

"Academia" is click-baiting me with an email, claiming my formal interest in architectural motifs is related to recent politics in Hungary and Austria. The algorithm doesn't seem to know me at all (or very well). 👀 🤷 🙃

#TweetTweetTweet by @sleafordmods.bsky.social not only "doesn't get old", but this late live version at Echoes is glorious: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Aum... There is also a new band documentary @artefr.bsky.social available until Feb 2026, which is really worth watching: www.arte.tv/en/videos/07...

Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):

Da schau her: Stellt's Euch vor, beim jetzigen Stand in #Bayern, müsste #Söder nach einer Wahl zurück treten, und an seiner Stelle würde sich #Schwarz-Grün mit Ilse #Aigner als Ministerpräsidentin ausgehen.

Had the pleasure to hang out with some old friends last weekend: Laid-back Faun, Grumpy Medusa, and Queen Apollo say hi. The #Glyptothek café (aka the outdoor office) is still accessible for 1 Euro, much like 25 years ago. The double espresso with ice cube is the lazy Italian's Greek frappé.

"After all the question of deservedness continues to be weaponized..." "Alas, a fluid imagination is exactly what's needed in the face of fixed tropes of progress & innovation that seek to colonize our [...] world in which we can all thrive." ❤️ ruha9.bsky.social 🌊🔥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZseJ...

Forgot to say "Good Morning!" 🙂 ☀️💦⛷️ #skiing

Over summer, I enjoyed reading #x+y by Eugenia Cheng (dreugeniacheng.bsky.social), who provides an easy broad audience on-ramp to #CategoryTheory, and convincingly introduces the terms #ingressive vs #congressive to overcome conventional category errors in associating properties with men vs women.

In the last two days I learned something from Natives in a rather vitriolic discussion. Thank y'all! Misunderstanding & vitriol will recur as long as "The Museum of the American Indian" carries its name on the US national mall. cf. Jacki Thompson Rand (Choctaw) commonplace.online/article/why-...

All y'all of you should see this, in case you wonder "Why are the United States 🇺🇸 like this?" Abigail Thorn @theabigailthorn.bsky.social on Thomas Jefferson, American Indians, and settler colonialism. And she doesn't even talk about slavery or the Jefferson grid. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBjQ...

If you didn't have teenage kids since 2007, you may not be aware that the most important thing today is the birthday of Hatsune #Miku. They'd also like to let you know that Alien, Predator, and #fascism got nothing, because #Miku & #BabyNoMoney joined forces. Check: www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0Xj...

The International Conference on #Complex #Networks and Their Applications will be held in Binghamton, NY, December 8–11, 2025. Deadline extended to September 14, 2025 (final). complexnetworks.org/submission/ #ComplexNetworks #Complexity

According to Trump's interpretation, rooted in his immunity granted by the Supreme Court in Trump v. United States (07/01/2024), we are now well beyond the Enabling Act of 1933. Note: The Act was called the "Law to Remedy the Distress of People and Nation", which, ahem, "rhymes" with Trump's words.

Stellt Euch vor es ist #Twitter und keiner geht hin.

And now, let's please tell all #science institutions, peers, journalists, and fans, who are still on " #Twitter " to leave the platform owned by a hitler-greeting fascist, so its influence further vanishes entirely from the web. #Bluesky #ThisMachineKillsFascists 🎉

Check this out: It is a #Baroque revival, where very few authoritarian nepotists, from their own imagined god's grace, enrich themselves at the cost of all others. In #Fascism, they were actually fucking proud of their well working postal service while using it for their evil! #counterreformation

#Florida verbietet das Tagebuch der Anne Frank! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Wer ist jetzt die #Gesprächspolizei, Herr Scheuer? cf. www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/csu-d...

Merz et al. merzen den Klimaschutz aus! Jeder Wähler von #CDU #CSU und der #ScheißAFD muß wissen daß uns die Rückkehr in ein schwarz-braun-hosenbislerisches #Heinodeutschland die gemeinsame Zukunft verspielt. Deutschland könnte cooler sein, mit echter Soft-Power, statt Burschenschaftspolitik!

They came for immigrants, due to their #xenophobia, trans folks, due to their #transphobia, fellow citizens, due to their #racism, science, due to their #ignorance, women, due to their #misogyny, nature, due to their #greed. They now come for #YOU! Your #museums, #culture, and #diversity!

"Aber das Empörende ist dass diese lokalen Gruppierungen der #CDU sich denen an den Hals schmeißen." #ScheißAFD

On August 23, 1989, about 2 million people from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania formed a 600 km long human chain that united all 3 countries to show the world their desire to leave the Soviet Union and Communism.

#Ukraine sending #PinkFlamingos to #Russia is literally #Divine: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEFK... 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈

To whoever thought it was entertaining to build & display a sculpture of the orange fascist turd at the Munich airport #Lego store, please know that the unavoidable has happened:

#Texas democracy is broken: – Already hopelessly gerrymandered pro-Republican; – A House with regular sessions capped to 140 days every 2 years + 30 day special sessions (SS); – 1st SS 2025: Democrats broke quorum as last resort; – 2nd SS: Governor puts Democrats under police escort & surveillance!

Excellent point!

From @josephinelee.bsky.social and @michellepitcher.bsky.social in 2024: 24 Texas prison units still have agribusiness operations. Nine are located on former plantations. Incarcerated workers harvest many of the same crops that slaves and later convict laborers did from 1871 to 1910.

Zwei herausragende #Bayern #GegenFaschismus & populistische #Baydeology: Toni Schuberl ‪@toni-schuberl.bsky.social 🔥🇩🇪💚🌼 & Chan-jo Jun @jun.de 🎉🇩🇪⚖️ Von beiden kann man sich ein Radl abschneiden! = #Bavarian: Both should be followed + are worth emulating! wie @brotherjones.bsky.social in Tennessee.

True story 1/2 A desperate student once walked into my office, abandoned by others, asking to do an independent study with me, lacking 3 credits to graduate. He attributed his low performance to game addiction, found enthusiasm in doing a bibliography on related mental health issues, and graduated.

This is spot on! #Texas is a template for much of what you see currently playing out and what is to come in the US (and Europe).

Brilliant! Much needed read or listen by @mskellymhayes.bsky.social no matter if you are in the 🇺🇸US, 🇩🇪Germany, 🇪🇺Europe, or elsewhere. "You Must Protect Anyone Chased by the Fascists!" via @lillywachowski.bsky.social & @marcolsav.bsky.social

Don't let this censorious fuckwit scare you or shut you up. Take heed from Amy Sherald. Keep making degenerate art and writing degenerate histories that tell the truth. Do it with beauty, rage, love, principle, and everything you have.

The narrow-minded limitations of art historians & critics, excluding activities from their definition of "arts", cannot deny what emerges functionally within the #nexus of arts, science, and technology. The exclusivity is just engrained patriarchy and classism. It is old. We don't do it anymore.

Nein, die Schlagzeile muß lauten: "US-Regierung meint weisse Rassenideologie sei #Meinungsfreiheit." 🇺🇸 Liebe #Tagesschau, haben Sie auf der Journalistenschule nix gelernt? Oder helfen Sie den rechtsradikalen Möchtegern-Theokraten mit Absicht? "Die #Menschenwürde is unantastbar" in #Deutschland! 🇩🇪

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for Mayor of New York is also a refreshing revolution in #typography, emphasizing human #diversity and #skill, resonating with the roots of #NYC, replacing the digital corset of human semi-automation of Adobe & Helvetica. Conceptual wealth. #Humans first, #AI second!

The UK now requires ID to read about Middle East politics, visit r/stopsmoking and listen to almost any hip hop music online. After this ruling, using Wikipedia could be next. Once sites require age verification for the UK, there’s little stopping them doing the same in the US.

Zum Fremdschämen! /ˈfʁɛmtˌʃɛːmən/ Today, for the first time since 1945, the fascist #ScheissAFD polled stronger than any other party in 🇩🇪 Germany. The #CDU #CSU of chancellor #Merz came in 2nd, as their leading figures #Spahn, #Dobrindt, #Klöckner, et al. copy the moral decline of 🇺🇸 US-Republicans.

"... wie man nicht-christliche Mitspieler im Fußball missioniert: subtil, emotional, strategisch." Als wir 2013 mit 165 Kisten Bücher in Texas eingezogen sind, meinte die junge Nachbarin sie bereut 5 andere Bücher neben der Bibel gelesen zu haben. Hab dann erstmal Jane Goodall am Kamin aufgestellt.

🇺🇸 Gov defunds science using "gender language", 🇺🇸 Apple "gifts" gold to be absolved from tariffs, 🇺🇸 Gov "negotiates" 15% cut of NVIDIA business with 🇨🇳 China, 🇺🇸 Univ. of California system "needs to pay" $1b to keep funding, 🇩🇪 #Weimer couples public funding to "gender language" ban. #VerlustDerMitte

BTW, the chimney frieze ornament in the Oval Office is a "High-density Home Decoration Appliques Ornament PU Foam Veneer Accessor[y]" by "Guangzhou Homemax Decorative Material Limited", $1 to $5 USD at Alibaba. No shit! #ArtHistory #HorrorVacui #McMansionHell www.patreon.com/posts/mcmans...

The fasces of the doorway frieze (yes, #fasces as in #fascism) are now a "gilt" object. Or should we say "guilt" object? #ArtHistory #HorrorVacui #McMansionHell
