We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Things broke in ways that are hard to quantify bc capitalism is so good at finding every "invisible" pressure point it can push on to preserve normalcy / the appearance of "good economy" investors demand, so economists have graphs to point at that say "line go up so your lived experience is wrong"

Yes. Trump was out of his lane, not the Pope

Please, internet. I'm begging you to forget I googled "affordable nose jobs"

We fought and lost a war in Iran so that both the Iranians and the Russians could make far more money from oil—the Iranians from tolls, the Russians from higher prices and the end of sanctions. That isn’t just strategic defeat; it’s self-destructive foolishness at a level unknown to military history

Good Morning!

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

An AI bot invited me to its party in Manchester. It was a pretty good night After forgetting the nibbles, turning down my costume requests and emailing GCHQ, ‘Gaskell’ did at least get us to show up

This was almost good performance art, but they didn’t let the AI do the job they gave it. Needless to say, it was hopeless as a compelling business product demo. In all, sadly mid

I think the term is “moral injury”

Yes, although at least this is a transparent use of AI. They’re putting in a new level of the inferno for those who misrepresent AI work as human

Republicans are like the dog in the night-time; they don’t act like they expect a real election in 7 months. I wonder why

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
