It was never "complicated"

Shitshow at the #BritishAcademy @britishacademy.bsky.social www.versobooks.com/en-gb/blogs/...

Aquí os dejo la conversación preciosamente editada y dirigida por Anna Ramos, Jara Rocha y Nicolas Malevé.

And the next event on 3 June!

A motion urging @ucu.org.uk to open a dispute with the secretary of state for education has passed without amendments at Congress. This is an important first step in redirecting our energies beyond random vice-chancellors to a fundamentally broken and unfair funding system #UCU2025 💪💪💪💪💪💪

New job, Artist in Residency at the department of Art and Media Tech (WSA, UoS), nice opportunity with good people, share widely criticalinfrastructures.net/events/we-ar...

The U.S. is spreading the narrative of a false genocide in South Africa while actively funding and supporting Israel as it carries out a real genocide in Gaza—one that international human rights organizations have repeatedly condemned.

Two days before “No Aesthetic Outside My Freedom: Mourning, Militancy, and Performance,” a piece about Palestinian mourning, was scheduled to be performed at the Whitney ISP's curatorial exhibition, the institution canceled the performance.

We have managed to secure 14 scholarships covering 50% of fees for home students embarking on a masters programme, full or part time. Other scholarships are also available for international students. Please disseminate to those who might benefit from this www.e-flux.com/announcement...

Some good news in bleak times, a new book by @fdrubio1977.bsky.social and it's open access!

Israel, backed by the United States, is starving the people of Gaza to death.

#SantanderBancoChungo financia a algunas de las mayores empresas de armas del mundo 💣 🇵🇸 Colabora con la ocupación de Palestina: aparece en el 6º puesto del 'ranking' de bancos europeos que financian los asentamientos ilegales en los territorios ocupados. #SantanderBancaArmada

More like this please

The fascist system starts from the overcoming of unemployment, develops into an armament economy of scarcity, and ends inevitably in war.

It would be good if people stopped being shocked at the US and looked closer to home for a change. While Sussex university gets fined 585k for defending trans rights, students are being served injunctions for denouncing the ongoing horror in Palestine #AbolishOfS www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Hugely important intervention in a rapidly collapsing HE, needed to recover some momentum and get to the root of the problem. As in radical.

Unmissable event with Judith Butler, Luke Williams, Dr Penny Newell, and BBK4 Palestine student activists next week www.bbk.ac.uk/events/event...

15 years ago CRMEP became the canary in the mine for the wanton destruction of HE in the UK. It's now under threat again. Places like CRMEP aren't built overnight, we must resist an Arts and Humanities landscape designed by pound-shop management consultants #saveCRMEP www.e-flux.com/notes/658933...

How much more of this can happen before the government do something? This is disasterous for Kingston, and the academy in the UK more broadly. Solidarity with all those effected. Speak to your UCU branch and reach out to other branches for support and advice.

Great to see #LasKellys resistance against the tourist industry in the Canary Islands talked about in English here, not sure about the closing paragraph, but important research nevertheless notesfrombelow.org/article/tour...

The Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, where I did my PhD, and where I learnt more than anywhere else, is under threat again by an SMT #KingstonUniversity too useless to understand its value. Grim news in grim times. #CRMEP

"This is not an isolated problem. It is a nationwide crisis." Thank you for taking the initiative on this letter, @newcastleucu.bsky.social! And an excellent letter it is too, clear and referenced. Please everyone who cares about higher education and research, co-sign. #UKHE

What was interesting about algorithms? The challenge of doing X with as few resources as possible (memory, power, etc). What are OpenAI + friends doing? The opposite. "Lets assume we have unlimited resources & try to build a god." No wonder they're losing their shit with the DeepSeek thing.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Very disappointed at the lack of #DeepSeek memes here.

I’m not remotely unbiased but this show is so, so good—incredible to see a big museum show with this kind of conceptual coherence through hundreds of pieces from across a century and much of the world

I'm obviously delighted about this, but most importantly, do have a browse through @radiowebmacba.bsky.social It holds the most impressive archive of critical thought/ art-adjacent/ sound-centric podcasts, an education in itself, lovingly produced by a superb team. www.macba.cat/en/itinerari...
