😒 this article is trying to frame the dislike for AI as irrational rather than telling the truth that people hate AI because its obvious that companies would rather burn trillions of dollars on a solution looking for a problem than pay people better wages all while selling bullshit.

"I suppose you’ve come to say you’re sorry? I hope so, given your years of sneering and hand-wringing about how I was ruining knowledge. Meanwhile, you turned your information environment into a hypercapitalist post-truth digital snuff film." #McSweeneysTop25of2025

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies. They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube. Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer. Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump. Now, it’s gone.

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Thinking this is wrong isn’t radical. Thinking it isn’t is.

CogSci in Aarhus is hiring, open rank (assi, asso or full prof). We want somebody working on and teaching computational modelling of cognitive processes and/or social processes. Students are amazing, work/life balance very satisfactory, and colleagues are nice! international.au.dk/about/profil...

Excellent popular article by Anna Ciaunica (@annaciaunica.bsky.social). Along with reader-friendly prose, Anna digs deep into the nature of the self. Highly recommended.

We recently published a lesser known article by David Graeber written in 2013 called - Buncombe. Here is the piece and an extract. davidgraeber.org/articles/bun...

New paper reminds us yet again: HOMICIDE is the leading cause of death for pregnant women. Gun violence & partner violence are related. All-cause homicide & firearm homicide of pregnant women are higher, in states w/ higher calculated firearm ownership (1/x 🧵 jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Failed country.

Ok, so this is multiply nerdy and maybe I am insane, but… in chapter 18 of his new book ”Shadow Ticket”, Thomas Pynchon seems to have a song about the Heaviside step function.

@zachpeck.bsky.social and @tonychemero.bsky.social argue that radical embodiment has implications for ethics - if embodiment erodes the boundaries of the self, does it also erode the boundaries of moral agency? Happily, feminist philosophers have thought carefully about this doi.org/10.1007/s112...

New paper out today with Zach Peck, “A radical embodied account of responsibility”. Not open access alas. Hit me up if you want a copy. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Yesterday was an inspiring day in the US, the best of the year. Today is also good: a new Juana Molina album came out.

I would love to be a subscriber to Teen Rogue.

For months now, @teenvogue.com has been our media’s greatest caller of bullshit. Apparently this is over.

A short essay following up on the recently rediscovered poem by Adrienne Rich, titled "Artificial Intelligence", and written in 1961. I do what she suggested back then. I forced AI systems to write some poems. rodneybrooks.com/a-prophetic-...

Apparently there was a Gatsby party at Mar a Lago, while Trump is trying to kick 42 million off SNAP

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

WATCH: “A MASTER PLAN” Usually stoic Kushner silently panics as Witkoff spills the beans on the Trump regime’s war profiteering in Gaza - they’ve been working on for ‘TWO YEARS’🤔 (But don’t worry, apparently $50 Billion is “not a lot of money”! 💰🙃) PSA: This slip-up should be a big deal.

At some point it has to become clear that this tech exists is to create a more toxic society and enrich its owners. These uses are not aberrations but rather the entire purpose.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

1/2 In case you were wondering why the incorrect rumor of “trans activist” and “fascist symbols” on ammo started, it’s because arrows and initials are common ways manufacturers stamp ammo. Including “TRN” the ironsight and a direction broad arrow:

"We must reject political violence in EVERY form" Anyway, back to using State violence to clear homeless camps out of the park, because rich people were complaining they had to look at them.
