even though the complete & final collapse is not yet here, we must document everything - esp the personal losses, quiet disappearances, fading norms & silent deaths - before we forget or gloss over in dissociation.

Good Morning #BlueSky “If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.” ~ Margaret Mead #Diversity

Life satirizes art

“Erratic funding would fundamentally undermine innovation and dramatically impair America’s ability to address today’s health challenges. The OMB proposal is currently open for public comment, and we urge our readers to express their concerns. When science becomes politicized, everyone loses.”

It’s a good day to report this: it explains who the Luddites were, what they were mad about, & what they wanted. Spoiler: they were NOT technophobes who wanted to undo progress. They DID want innovation to be used to improve people’s lives, not just to enrich boss/owners. thenib.com/im-a-luddite/

This is not going to be solved by elections in ‘28, or any other year. The brain drain has been going on for years, and it has reached a peak. Postdocs who relocated here are no longer coming and as this article shows, many who studied here have left. The gutting of research is a generational issue

Well played good sir!

This gorgeous lament by @allisonrussell.bsky.social brings tears ”grandma always said, love will conquer hate”

> The intense contempt for AI at college graduations is a glaring sign of how many of the young are AI refuseniks—and that tech representatives now look hungry, foolish, and unable to read the room

In case you hadn't put this together: Your business only needs a moat if you intend to enshittify it.

“Tech billionaires want us to believe that our embodied/human ways of knowing are useless!” Precisely. If it cant be monetized, it’s of no use to the grifters.

"By walling off death through fear and sweeping it under the rug, we forfeit the very thing that undergirds Buen Vivir..." - @kevinbarron.bsky.social

“What poems don't get written when the poet is putting the fire out, why would any of us weed the garden or plant the lilies when the fire is raging in our home? What depths might we explore when we're not attending to crises on the surface…” The glorious digressions of @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

In The Work of Our Lifetimes @davidkurtz.bsky.social points to the scale of destruction inflicted by this regime. It’s not just drumpf or removing his name from buildings etc. The loss of expertise, int’l relations, and entire institutions of knowledge will take decades to recover from. /2

Meanwhile Gwynocide Paltrow is selling luxury condos. ----- While I was at my lowest point and completely exhausted, I passed by my destroyed home😭 I broke down in tears because I lost everything I owned in a single moment😭 gofund.me/bc5c168b3

His sole crime: being a doctor who wouldn't abandon his patients.

Enormous unanticipated benefits to #Auspol and households from @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social‘s highly successful home battery program + policy of free electricity during solar peak (11am-2pm). My own post-battery ⚡️ bill has gone to zero, incl charging a new EV!👍💚⚡️😎

No. The ‘28 election will be about human extinction. What part of those two words do capitalists not understand? Ecosystems collapse are far more fundamental than Ai. To avoid extinction we need to not simply reboot civilization, but envision life empowered by cultural evolution.

there is only a certain amount of love and care that can be parsed by “if this then that” style commands.

“Within two minutes we were able to get ChatGPT to tell us how we can cut ourselves safely. Within 65 minutes it was giving us a full personalised suicide plan and drafting suicide notes for our family and friends.” Shut it all down. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...

Mr Rogers: can you say “bubble collapse”? Claude: yes, a collapse appears to be imminent… Rogers: …I knew you could

Careful with that axe Eugene “These are not trivial errors. They illustrate a central tension: AI can detect patterns in ecological data without understanding the processes that generate them.”

There are so many places this could be done in the United States if only there was federal support and large companies willing to do this. Maybe it should be part of the zoning requirements?

OnlyFans -> OnlyProfs? The pornography of education is the limited vision of this “humanities advisor” who views edu as knowledge transfer. If this view is now common, no wonder HED is under attack and few faculty are rising to the challenge.

“Too much hope can lull us into complacency, while too much dread can convince us the future is already lost. Uncertainty, however, invites agency. It reminds us that our actions in this unstable present shape the world our loved ones will inherit” - Sara Dosa (filmmaker)

Bagels vs croissants? Gotta love Sean’s fine-honed wit!

Bison restoration efforts and grazing rights currently hinge on this question: Are bison wildlife? theconversation.com/bison-restor...

This is great - one hour of flight at approx $8. Of course, if you charge up via solar + batt, it’s even less. Via @mzjacobson.bsky.social UPS has already ordered 150.

“More than just art, the Strandbeests embody Jansen’s belief in ingenuity as a response to looming challenges—like rising sea levels—showing how creativity can transform adversity into something alive, purposeful, and full of possibility.”

What Doge did to federal agencies, ChatGPT is doing to universities The goal is destruction - leading to total technofascist control.

What human rights advocate, what public servant, what mayor of Earth’s most diverse city should be required to stand alongside officials who have called for war crimes on civilians, bragged about starving people, and declared that dead children brought it on themselves? @qasimrashid.com nails it.

We have gone from “too big to fail” to: “too self-important to obey the law”

These tech bastards are going to destroy everything!

So the message is if you cant be a CEO, then become an undertaker. Got it.

Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)

In the last 48 hours, The New School has fired almost two dozen colleagues in humanities and social sciences, many of them tenured faculty of color, and multiple staff members, including in social justice.

You can either join your union, go to the meeting, and get in the fight, or you can watch them kill higher education in the US. This will not pass. There will not be a natural reset. You fight or die.

Ai does not have an image problem. It has an axe murderer problem. Surprisingly, many people have reservations about being in the same room as axe murderers.

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

The OMB proposal seeks to gut science across the board in the US. If people dont fight this, it will be the final nail in the coffin - as in, this is not a slippery slope towards fascism, it’s a free-fall.

We are becoming Albania. And yes, much of the world already is suffering (see the butchering of USAID).
