the proliferation of "AI" generated content has largely enabled and to a great degree enabled cynical swindlers to more casually fleece people of their money- shitty knock off books, poorly made games, impersonating people for extortion, and this can't be separated from any allegedly good use case

Stop all conversation when axis nationals or quislings enter a cafe.

Eero Saarinen's mobile lounges at Dulles were a mobility solution that “bridged architecture and transportation design," as @langealexandra.bsky.social put in 2006. The lounges are a relic of the jet age that deserve more than a politically-tinged send off. byerussell.substack.com/p/much-ado-a...

Catching up on reading to rest up and get ready for what comes next

I think it's really bad for our souls to just have these monstrous crimes as the white noise of our era, like a clip from Woodstock to establish something takes place in the 60s

reading those emails makes me feel like i had a breakup with language

Great news from SIQ Ljubljana! Both of our #CM4 compatible #FPGA boards ULX4M-LS and ULX4M-LD passed #compliance tests! Next we will now focus on Crowd Supply campaign so make sure you are subscribed www.crowdsupply.com/intergalakti...! #opensource #hardware

EU komisija se brine o interesima US kompanija, a ne građana EU - Politiscope sve savršeno objasnili:

Pisao sam o našem Zohranu

"We are talking about *life*—the ways we depend on one other and sustain each other as we make and unmake each other. Even when we fail, and our spirits collapse, we are living in opposition to that which would destroy us. We are living and fighting for each other, and that means we have a chance."

Has anyone written about the relationship between motion smoothing and generative video? They give me similar discomfort but I wonder if some folks may be more tolerant of slop because they were prepped with motion smoothing

I played the *demo* of Rise of Nations every day for about 2 weeks in the summer of 2003 and I still think about how fun it was. I never played it again.

This is not an aberration, nor is it a titillating tale of pervy old guys. The oppression of women, including via sexual crimes, is a pillar of the global POLITICAL economy. It's why power & wealth are distributed as they are: maintaining that distribution requires collective action by many men.

My kingdom for a phone camera app that can figure out what windows are and focus on what's *outside* the window

It's entirely fitting that one of the first big AI-generated music producers is a Deloitte consultant.

i really truly wish any of the epstein furore was caused by a genuine concern for cruelty for teenage girls, for exploited kids. it would be a different country if it was, of course, but the discourse is sometimes jarring

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Deliveristas protesting at City Hall today

i’ve said it before and i’m going to keep saying it: everything we allow them to do in Gaza is something they want to do to you. Palestine is the thread that binds everything - it’s solidarity or death for all of us

Your new Portal Bridge is in the works!

Instead of other courts following ICTY's practice to put as much as possible of their evidence online, we're moving in the opposite direction. In this age of "alternative facts", misinformation and disinformation, and widespread denial, is this really the direction we are choosing?

Plenković huška na LGBT zajednicu, nikakvi dp, domino, suverenisti, itd.

as a bosnian, i cannot accept this depoliticization of the mass murder that was directed against us. to brazenly claim that the violence has "no political or religious motivation" is beneath common sense. it harms any understanding of what happened in sarajevo and bosnia

We’re less than two months away from @mta.info ending MetroCard sales. Meanwhile, at Jamaica…PANYNJ only has two JFK AirTrain OMNY tap-in readers going (out of four installed?) and there’s actually quite a backup for those lanes. Will PANYNJ just keep selling MetroCard as a rogue entity in 2026?

Fuck I'm listening to this and realizing this is how I learned to read cyrillic 💀

Hey!! Here's my new piece for The New Republic!! It's about how Meta is cramming generative video slop (the most energy-intensive of the gen systems) into its massive global advertising engine: a recipe for an order magnitude worsening of its already-huge harms 😱 newrepublic.com/article/2028...

Uz sve ostale stvari, Dejan Ristanović je u ljeto '87, u 27. broju časopisa Računari objavio na 16 strana umetak "S bejzika na C" i to ga čini najzaslužnijom osobom što danas pristojno živim od posla koji volim raditi. Hvala, Dejane.

Dejan Ristanović passed away in Belgrade today. Dejan was the founder of the Računari u vašoj kući, magazine that brought us the Galaksija computer, he founded Sezam BBS and later PC Press magazine. His work introduced computers and networks to countless people over the years. May he rest in peace.

Welcome on board Amtrak Acela 2153 service from Boston to Washington DC. We'll be traveling on the short route from NY Penn Station to Philadelphia 30th St. Station. Amtrak wants us to board from the monumental Moynihan hall, but we're using the good old Amtrak waiting area under MSG.

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

Useful piece on the dubious activities of the Heritage Foundation in Europe. I’m definitely more Team Fagan than Team Haar in terms of insights. Europe does not need the help of the U.S. to be far right and reactionary.

I really believe the singular goal (until the next election) for anyone and everyone invested in anti-fascism should be to get Schumer out of leadership

Are you ready for #PicoIDE? It seems to be telling me it's ready. Coming soon: ATAPI optical disc emulation and IDE hard drive emulation. picoide.com

We out here, BK. Nearby 9 PPW? Join us to yell DON’T CAVE CHUCK! His job is not to fold for the MAGA GOP, it’s to FIGHT for us (and you!) Hold the line, @schumer.senate.gov! @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501movement.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

Fight don’t fold.

Dealer: alright everyone ante up Chuck Schumer: I fold Dealer: … we haven’t even dealt the hand yet Chuck Schumer: I 👏 fold 👏

“Abolish ice” at this point is the conservative position. Everyone involved in the administration at any level is going to have to be tried for crimes against humanity and dealt with accordingly. This isn’t going away with elections and we certainly cannot “come together” after this.
