Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

2/4. The entire practice of the Holocaust of the Jews involved zones of statelessness. It is easier to move people away from law than it is to remove law from people. Almost all of the killing took place in artificially created stateless zones.

Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Greg Casar on stage in Tucson in front a crowd of 23,000 people.

Tucson, Arizona today.

Original projected attendance was 3,000 people.

23,000 showed up.

OK, a roundup response to the "they won't follow the court orders" people.

First of all, you're wrong! The administration *is* following many of the court orders.

What's more, they're showing their understanding of the validity of court orders by seeking stays pending appeal when they lose.

Picture of police guarding a Tesla dealership.

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

They only left a polite message reporting the bug? This is why we're doomed.

What a "nice" way to start a week! Our channel on YouTube has been deleted due to "spam and deceptive policies". Which is the biggest WTF moment in our brand's history on social platforms. We have only posted demos of our own original products, never anything else...

As the EOs and orders keep coming, I keep thinking of the exhibit in the Berlin Jewish Museum that displays the 962 anti-Jewish laws and policies in order as they came down. These kinds of drumbeats are designed not just to oppress but to normalize oppression. www.jmberlin.de/en/jmb-journ...

Trump demands to henceforth be referred to as The Sun King, and you shall no longer worship other Gods, especially that oriental lunatic Moon God.

The first professor I saw, was in a very large room, with forty pupils about him. After salutation, observing me to look earnestly upon a frame, which took up the greatest part of both the length and breadth of the room, he said, “Perhaps I might wonder to see him employed in a project for improving speculative knowledge, by practical and mechanical operations. But the world would soon be sensible of its usefulness; and he flattered himself, that a more noble, exalted thought never sprang in any other man’s head. Every one knew how laborious the usual method is of attaining to arts and sciences; whereas, by his contrivance, the most ignorant person, at a reasonable charge, and with a little bodily labour, might write books in philosophy, poetry, politics, laws, mathematics, and theology, without the least assistance from genius or study.” He then led me to the frame, about the sides, whereof all his pupils stood in ranks. It was twenty feet square, placed in the middle of the room. The superficies was composed of several bits of wood, about the bigness of a die, but some larger than others. They were all linked together by slender wires. These bits of wood were covered, on every square, with paper pasted on them; and on these papers were written all the words of their language, in their several moods, tenses, and declensions; but without any order. The professor then desired me “to observe; for he was going to set his engine at work.” The pupils, at his command, took each of them hold of an iron handle, whereof there were forty fixed round the edges of the frame; and giving them a sudden turn, the whole disposition of the words was entirely changed.

He then commanded six-and-thirty of the lads, to read the several lines softly, as they appeared upon the frame; and where they found three or four words together that might make part of a sentence, they dictated to the four remaining boys, who were scribes. This work was repeated three or four times, and at every turn, the engine was so contrived, that the words shifted into new places, as the square bits of wood moved upside down.

Jonathan Swift predicts generative art (as one would in Reichenbach's 'context of discovery') and parodies the modern-day reliance on AI as a priori auto-generating empirical truth (i.e. Reichenbach's 'context of justification') in Gulliver's Travels, Chapter V www.gutenberg.org/files/829/82...

Inside Project 2025 - Boston Review Backed by the Heritage Foundation, the initiative seeks to undermine longstanding safeguards against abuses of executive power.

Now that we're staring down the barrel of Project 2025, I guess it's a good time to re-up this essay I wrote a few months ago exploring its plans for an authoritarian administrative state www.bostonreview.net/articles/ins...

Directly under the supervision of Russia's Presidential Administration, the Russian government's "Social design Agency" expands operations to social media platform BlueSky, with initial efforts aimed at swinging German elections and discrediting Ukraine.

“Haha can you believe McDonalds is doing a Squid Game promo” easily yes because capital subsumes all critiques of itself and no popular TV show or piece of art will ever threaten or unsettle it

Slop Infrastructures 1 & 2 "Maybe the Human Part of Human Connection is Overstated." 💡This week, I'm trying something new. Starting today, and ending on Tuesday, I'll be e-mailing smaller sections of a single piece, Slop Infra...

Slop Infrastructures is also about politics, ideology and the aesthetics of disinterest, from fake birds to generative AI’s physical manifestation in a Glaswegian warehouse. All six parts are up. #criticalai #mediastudies #ai mail.cyberneticforests.com/slop-infrast...

Cloud compte and embedded devices are mostly Linux. Your air fryer is probably Linux.

Android is 72% of global traffic. Android is a Linux.

Great Mix, glad to be in there.

We get the other AIs to read them and post breathless reviews on our social media profile, which we will no longer have to waste time updating, and everyone else won't have to waste time pretending to read the reviews.

The old tome fails to shock, eh? Well art fails to shock these days. Though my dad did email me about the banana, so that was a success.

He's a doomer. What they really are doing is prepping. It's not denial.

We all think plastic pollution is a problem, and it is. In the nearly 70 years between 1950 and 2019, the world produced a total of ~9.5 billion tonnes of plastic.

But all the plastic we have EVER produced weighs as much as CO₂ we emitted into the atmosphere during the first three months of 2024!

Every time I ask Siri a question about how to do something on my mac it just Googles and shows me results about windows and Android.

That's surprisingly inept. This is Apple Intelligence?

Even better! I'll go check it.
