(there’s someone on here who used to like my posts and I used to see them more but I haven’t seen them in a while. I also can’t remember their exact handle because I haven’t seen them for so long. I hope they are having a good life away from the intensity of this place.)

As public awareness and resistance ramp up, I'm regularly reminded that researchers have been addressing the environmental, geopolitical, and political-economic impacts of data centers for *a very long time*; legislators, journalists, et al just haven't noticed!

really gutted that I couldn't attend #FAccT2026!

I made a zine at the last session of FAccT 2026. #DestroyAI

A lot of media coverage of the ‘AI’ reading of the Herculaneum scrolls really fails to understand what’s happened here. There’s no language processing happening, the AI/ML is not trained on a corpus of texts or language. It can detect ink to see shapes. HUMAN EXPERTS are then transcribing the text.

“Gentrification is mostly good” is obviously something a white man would say. White people think that…which is why they gentrify. I believe you don’t need to argue with white people about believing in white people shit. Don’t waste your time.

If you say gentrification is a good thing I know exactly what you are and you promptly need to get tf out my face

"Like one long nightmare, it can be difficult to keep track of when one day ends and the next begins. And so life goes inside the California City Detention Facility. It feels like the land of the living dead." Life inside an ICE detention facility:

Asylum seekers are routinely returned by Canadian authorities and placed into ICE custody within hours of their arrival in Canada.

Shelter… the idea that human beings should not be forced to submit themselves to the elements…. Is a value… And markets don’t have values Communities have values

In America you will be allowed to go homeless Because shelter is understood in the market as a commodity

There is no money in affordable housing The margins for construction are simply not there… which is why it’s a public investment

3 truths

Still nothing about this… it’s almost as if there is no consideration for … Black life

Here’s a better question… Can workers at the restaurants grocery stores and shops Afford to live in the places they serve?

I somehow missed that the documentary Stan Lee's final assistant, Jonathan Bolerjack, made about Stan's last years got distribution I am, uhhhh, skeptical, to say the very least, about this film, given the things Bolerjack said to me on the record for TRUE BELIEVER 1/x

“You all are yelling at me” That’s what we do when we are disappointed in people

Mans really pulled a “yall not ready for that conversation “

What happens to the gentrified?

The value of gentrification is to extract as much profit out of this place as humanly possible The very premise is parasitic

At least 74 people drowned in France during the record-breaking heatwave. Most of the deaths occurred in rivers, lakes and ponds, but also some in private swimming pools.

Keep seeing this shared with lots of Schadenfreude. But it doesn’t sound like Ford has learned from their mistake.

RIP to a legend ▫️Survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki ▫️Pioneered drag culture in Japan and was one of the first openly gay celebrities there ▫️Had a relationship with Yukio Mishima and became his muse ▫️Delighted Hayao Miyazaki in the recording booth for Princess Mononoke #voiceacting

(lrt: the guy who tried to make me feel bad for being an academic who criticizes the academy said some nasty shit about me identifying as “straight-presenting-bi”. I say it to acknowledge that I have straight privilege (with a white guy to boot!). I don’t know how else to express it tbh)

people yell at you if you say this but i think being bisexual opens you up to a level of discursive abuse that would get you omega cancelled if you applied it to any other group. for whatever reason litigating bisexuality is fair game to everyone except us and sorry but i don't want to

Wait till you learn that FIFA has rented an entire floor of Trump Tower in NYC for the last couple years and late last year, Trump's DOJ dropped charges against a bunch of FIFA officials.

the feds have done more to harass americans angry over good and pretti’s killings than they have to investigate them

mad how the defining cultural image of Steamboat Willie is Mickey whistling and driving the boat, and not the bit where he plays a pig's nipples as a musical instrument while it shrieks in pain

they know what’s coming, up to us to pressure the electeds and say “it’s not gonna save you lol, lmao”

(when we were away, husbs was on social media more and I was on it less. we realized that the reason was because husbs was away from the things that kept him off social media (games, music, home stuff), and I was away from the thing that kept me on social media (procrastinating from work lol))

yes correct. (it’s one of the first things husbs and I bonded over online when we were but innocent twitter friends)

Suchman's excellent keynote zooms in into modern warfare & the role of AI in the Gaza genocide #FAccT2026 "The most consequential decision are made by systems that cannot explain themselves, supplied by companies that answer to no-one, in conflicts that generate no accountability and no reckoning"

a LOT of you follow that AI slop disinfo account so you might want to check to unfollow and block.

Those alt gov accounts that arose after 2016 are grifters. One of the top posts yesterday was @altnoaa.bsky.social posting an AI image of a beluga whale "escaping captivity to reunite with her baby." In response to being told it was AI, the poster said AI is good, actually, for evoking emotions.

The wonderful @marisakabas.bsky.social let me go long on the grim historic parallels between the Prairieland defendants and 19th century America’s brutal repression—and execution—of anarchists, union organizers, and political dissidents. We are all antifa now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/haymarket-...
