Seriously, rent and watch this. It’s on Apple TV and more. A beautiful and inspiring way to end an evening.

i made an app that checks if your contacts are in the epstein emails myepstein.com apple rejected it from the app store because it “capitalizes on current events” but you can still try it on testflight

Simon Denny + Hito Steyerl — CURA. Ben Vickers’s occasional publishing house even printed a version of the Bitcoin white paper, with an introduction by Jaya Klara Brekke.

Hito Steyerl and Simon Denny have been bantering back and forth in public for a while the conversations are fascinating. Here they are in CURA.45. I love Hito’s advice to fade into illegibility: “Refuse outrage. Be the noise, not the signal.”

An AI thing that is useful - having Google Gemini help me find things in my gmail. I can pose a human query and not learn search bar tricks. Quick and easy for that huge archive.

Thinking about how funny it is that "digital" has come to be associated with dematerialized conditions when etymologically it comes from like, fingers, the thing you use to touch stuff

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

Today is a good day to remember that Carl Sagan was as outspoken about the dangers of war and nuclear weapons as he was an advocate of space exploration.

Great thread from Norah…

Plottimation, my tool for converting #plotterArt frame-sheets into animated GIFs, is now in version 1.09 after extensive improvements :) golanlevin.github.io/plottimation/

OpenShot 3.5: faster, more stable, more creative open-source video editor - CDM Create Digital Music OpenShot, the free and open-source video editor for macOS, Windows, and Linux, got a major update in March with version 3.5. It runs faster, handles edits and audio better -- 18 years into this projec...

The free and open-source video editor is worth another look. And it has some unique tricks, including animation, running on the cloud(!), and even AI.

3.5 they say is one of their biggest milestones ever.

Really big release of fabric.graphics

La demo de Ultimate Drummer es pura genialidad, desde el editor de personajes a los ajustes de juego (mi PC va justito) y el secuenciador de ritmos.
GOTY material 🤘🥁🔥

That’s one hell of a cover…..

I searched "data center coloring book" because I was trying to decide if I should make one and found this, from a power management company, and I don't think I can top this www.eaton.com/explore/_pfc...

Thinking about moments in the past when you could hide in the depths of the oceans of data.

PNC They're EATING the CHECKS! IMPEACH THE NO BULLIES NO People at a protest in a city. Man holds sign saying “They're EATING the checks and BALANCES!” Woman’s sign says “No Bullies “

No Kings protest in Columbus, Ohio was HUGE! I’ve read estimates at 10k to 20k. Somewhere in there seems about right. So energizing!

I want anything that empowers more people to create the web, and I have the track record to prove it; I've worked with teams that have helped millions of people create tens of millions of websites. I don't think Sam Altman wants that. But people need to believe there can be non-fascist platforms.

OpenAI's discontinuing its video model #Sora just a few months after a spectacular deal with Disney shows just how little these AI companies care about their so-called products. AI video apps are, to quote Hito Steyerl, «onboarding tools»—their function is less commercial than ideological …

March, 19-21: God is a comedian A stiff drink is recommended

Please Clap. "Three weeks into the Iran war, reality has passed through the looking glass, out the other side, and is now selling tickets to the gift shop. What follows is not satire. Satire requires exaggeration, and you cannot exaggerate something that is already operating at maximum absurdity"

This crisis of hegemony is, btw, also the reason why centrism is doomed to just feed into more fascism, and why one crucial task of the moment is to open up the radical imaginary.

Yes, the world really could be otherwise. Yes, we can organize ourselves into a force that brings that world about.

Seven Warnings for Critical Agentic Design: For Designers, Who Will Decide For Themselves (and for the Rest of Us): I gave this very short talk at UC Berkeley, aimed at developing a critical lens on agentic LLMs for the designers, faculty and students who are already predisposed to use them.
