Inspiring to see young people occupying the centre of Madrid en masse against rentierism, after a protest of 300,000 yday. Echoes of the indignados movement of 15 years ago. The housing crisis is the no 1 problem in Spain: these protests will resonate with the public. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We'd like your help with something. The one hundredth anniversary of Ursula's birth will take place in 2029. This may seem a long time away, but we’re already starting to think about how to celebrate Ursula’s life and art. We’d love to add your ideas to the mix—there's a brief survey here:

The challenge to Western-centric notions of commons is the foundation. If commons are only legible through English property law, then every non-Western form of collective stewardship becomes invisible or illegal. The research decolonizes the concept before applying it.

This exactly is why we wrote our text: there are important things that the space given by pause allows. Understanding of what is different and yet common is one of them.

Happy Mayday everyone! It was my pleasure last evening to hear Peter Linebaugh speak about “Mayday and the Commons” at Cooper Union in NYC. On the screen behind him are early 19c gleaners, women commoners who collected leftover crops after the main harvest.

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n
Abstract: Under the banner of progress, products have been uncritically adopted or
even imposed on users — in past centuries with tobacco and combustion engines, and in
the 21st with social media. For these collective blunders, we now regret our involvement or
apathy as scientists, and society struggles to put the genie back in the bottle. Currently, we
are similarly entangled with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. For example, software updates are rolled out seamlessly and non-consensually, Microsoft Office is bundled with chatbots, and we, our students, and our employers have had no say, as it is not
considered a valid position to reject AI technologies in our teaching and research. This
is why in June 2025, we co-authored an Open Letter calling on our employers to reverse
and rethink their stance on uncritically adopting AI technologies. In this position piece,
we expound on why universities must take their role seriously toa) counter the technology
industry’s marketing, hype, and harm; and to b) safeguard higher education, critical
thinking, expertise, academic freedom, and scientific integrity. We include pointers to
relevant work to further inform our colleagues.Figure 1. A cartoon set theoretic view on various terms (see Table 1) used when discussing the superset AI
(black outline, hatched background): LLMs are in orange; ANNs are in magenta; generative models are
in blue; and finally, chatbots are in green. Where these intersect, the colours reflect that, e.g. generative adversarial network (GAN) and Boltzmann machine (BM) models are in the purple subset because they are
both generative and ANNs. In the case of proprietary closed source models, e.g. OpenAI’s ChatGPT and
Apple’s Siri, we cannot verify their implementation and so academics can only make educated guesses (cf.
Dingemanse 2025). Undefined terms used above: BERT (Devlin et al. 2019); AlexNet (Krizhevsky et al.
2017); A.L.I.C.E. (Wallace 2009); ELIZA (Weizenbaum 1966); Jabberwacky (Twist 2003); linear discriminant analysis (LDA); quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA).Table 1. Below some of the typical terminological disarray is untangled. Importantly, none of these terms
are orthogonal nor do they exclusively pick out the types of products we may wish to critique or proscribe.Protecting the Ecosystem of Human Knowledge: Five Principles

La UE es el MAYOR socio comercial de Israel. Decir “no al genocidio” pero no sancionar ni suspender relaciones y acuerdos preferenciales es cosmética. Es urgente poner fin a la complicidad europea⬇️

Arquitecta urbanista, me flipan los mapas, adoro la ficción especulativa y hago investigación sobre comunes urbanos, escenarios de futuro y planificación disruptiva. Me mudo a Bluesky porque si podemos ir de las plazas a la nube (como decía Bookcamping), también del cielo azul a las calles.
