You can't ask a Red Deer about flood risk. But you can ask 26 people to spend six months trying to think like one.

An experiment in seeing risk differently (I'm part of the team making it happen). The way participants have been responding has been extraordinary, more to come soon!

UK quietly gutted protections for human rights defenders, just before Christmas. Removing commitments to engage with embassies and monitor extractive businesses. www.devex.com/news/why-hum...

Why human rights defenders say the UK’s quiet policy shift matters
As attacks on human rights defenders reach record levels, activists in the global south say the U.K. is quietly pulling back the very diplomatic protections that once helped save lives.

Close your eyes and let the self you carried all day become porous, so the wind at the window can blow through it; may your sleep be a strange companion written in shifting images, legible only to the part of you that never agreed to grow up properly.

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate. (They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase). 1) Go to your account page 2) Hit cancel 3) Change sub back.

At @okfn.bsky.social, we have been thinking about and testing approaches for fast and low-cost ways to rescue datasets. www.404media.co/archivists-w... It is time to scale our efforts and decentralize critical data archiving.

This is like describing a tumor as a nonevent because a surgeon successfully spent 20 hours painstakingly removing all of it.

lemon pig of 2024 before and after absorbing all my bad luck over the calendar year like a fucked up little yellow dorian grey. it is nearly time to rest, my faithful child.
lemon pig. fresh. clean. happy. lemon pig close up on the face. unbothered. moisturized. lemon pig one year later. withered. problematic. being a loyal servant has taken a HEAVY toll. close up on lemon pig face one year later. coin is still in its mouth, though its lips are dry and curled back in a grimace as it fights through the agony of living far too long past its natural lifespan.

stopped by the Denver MCA to pick up an order from the shop and they have a really excellent audio installation in the entryway made up of noises that triggered ShotSpotter false positives
BEN COLEMAN (b. 1979, Chertsey, England; lives and works in Denver) 
False Positives (ShotSpotter series), Audio installation Courtesy the artist 

Ben Coleman's sonic artwork False Positives confronts the unintended consequences of ShotSpotter, an acoustic gunshot detection system. ShotSpotter uses sensors to detect potential gunfire, transmitting audio to a review center where it's analyzed. Misidentified non-gunfire sounds, termed "false positives," can mobilize police to investigate the area near the triggered sensor. Leaked internal ShotSpotter documents reveal a list of sounds that are so frequently flagged by the system as gunshots that they have been assigned codes, induding 'PC" for firecracker. Many other sounds that we associate with celebration and joy can be mistaken for gunfire by ShotSpotter as well: claps, cheers, champagne bottles uncorking, party poppers, balloon pops. Exploring the sonic confusion between these real and mischaracterized threats, Coleman's installation transforms the museum's entrance into a charged and vibrant soundscape. ShotSpotter technology is highly racialized. The sensors are frequently installed in neighborhoods with predominantly Black and Latinx communities—which are already historically over-policed—and are less likely to be found in majority-white neighborhoods. The system's tendency to detect false positives has also contributed to an exponential increase in negative interactions between the police and residents of these neighborhoods. False Positives' juxtaposition of sounds challenges ShotSpotter's pervasive presence in the United States and Denver, highlighting technology's role in civic surveillance and the perpetuation of racial inequity. 
The City of Denver has installed ShotSpotter in five neighborhoods, induding the downtown area where MCA Denver is located. There are sensors installed on city light poles within two blocks of the Museum.
