I’ve abandoned social platforms you people wouldn’t believe. Tribe net burning off the shoulder of Path. I watched Orkut melt down in the dark near Google+ (Buzz, Wave, et al). All those social graphs will be lost in time, like Friendster in Ping. Time to die (or move on to the next, who knows?)

remember when that cronenberg movie 'existenz' came out and it seemed like a fun and silly conceit for there to be freedom fighters taking on corporate conglomerates in an attempt to protect consensus reality from an ocean of digital hallucination

It's just one story, one illustration of all the terrible things that have happened. It's been a week since the very great noise/drone artist Siavash Amini posted this, from where he lives Tehran. There has been no update since. It could be for any number of reasons. We just don't know.

I'm alive but just by dumb luck, i'm connected by sheer chance, will get diconnected soon probably, saw death 2 times in one day, it's hell now in this city, dont know if i will live another day. Don't know what type of person i'll be if i make it.

Yesterday, Switzerland voted to keep its strong public broadcasting. But the far-right efforts to destroy it continues.

We opened doors for curious visitors today while continuing to finish the kiosk space. Sticking more snacks and drinks, magazines and books, vinyl records, and some first art and design pieces. Great vibes and lovely guests all day 🤗 #KioskKurioso

Kiosk moods…

Almost all the interior fittings are in the room (and lighting installed), but still gotta finish, wall mount, and organize. Good progress though 😅

Wall display for printed goods are up, art boxes are mounted, snacks & sweets are starting to fill the display stand – later this week stock orders for books and magazines, bottled drinks, vinyl records, artworks and silkscreens, mixtapes, and more are on their way. Quite the rush… #KioskKurioso

If the rumours are true and the kids and social media consultation opens today, here are two things I think should be banned from social media: 1) AI bots 2) recommendations algorithms that optimise for time on site Firm regulation of both of these things is possible and auditable

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Preview website for Kiosk Kurioso is live kiosk.kurioso.ch Lots still to be done but every day a little bit closer 😅

watching a youtube film about engineers in a lighthouse overnight during a storm, and - presumably because he didn't wish to be included - one engineer is blurred out. And now it looks like they're in a lighthouse overnight during a storm, with a ghost shimmering behind a veil of 1970's white noise

In memory of Éliane Radigue the makers of this documentary have made it free to view online. What a lovely gesture vimeo.com/541076521/d6...

Elkotsh :: rhlt jdi aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/02/25/e... Under the Cairene sun, Egyptian electronic music mutates in Elkotsh’s grip, tapping into a universal urban freneticism that feels at once visceral and off-world.

The first teaser for Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is here 👀 Starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson. In theaters August 7.

Feel free to send this to the NYT Tips channels, maybe with enough noise they might follow NPR in reporting actual news: www.nytimes.com/tips

Oh, don't know who needs to hear this, but the American Max Headroom series is back up on Tubi. Don't sleep on some of the best SF of the 80s (which got roundly mocked because it was so ridiculous and as I look around, nope, it got more right than wrong.)

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files. This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

"If you're not cop, you're little people." A pretty simple line from Blade Runner, one that's never quoted or brought up in any of the memes about it now. But it's one that's stuck with me since I first saw the film. The whole world lies within that boundary.

Good evening! The Dark Train launch from the Mothership will take place at 2200 GMT//1800 ART from Warminster Community Radio y Radio MINERVA on Moonday evening. Have a good one!! 🍄🍄🍄

If you have a book, it's never been easier to have merch. Authors need to think more like bands. The stupid thing sells the smart thing. And even if it doesn't, at least you've sold the stupid thing. www.mulebooks.com/store
