Thanks to @pmhswe.bsky.social’s leadership, it’s been amazing to watch how @mellon.org has increased their support for community-based archives. I hope the report leads to more support from other funders. These archives are vital and legitimate cultural memory spaces. bsky.app/profile/pmhs...

So glad for Pat's leadership in the field and to see so many respected/trusted colleagues on the project team here- the nebulousness of "community-[?] archives" is made a little more solid here, but the report also makes me think about all the benefits and losses of honing memory into archive
Excerpt for the Mellon Foundation report on community-based archives, that says among other things that 61% of the survey participants do not call themselves community-based archives, and many don't identify as doing archival work

At an invitation-only gathering in Italy, white supremacists mapped out strategies to target rural America while local press coverage vanishes www.confrontthehate.com/p/white-nati...
As economic pressures gut local newsrooms across the country, white nationalist figures see an untapped opening: stepping into media deserts where there are few journalists left to sound the alarm.

“Local media has been dying all over America, which means that there’s essentially no real way to hold local governments accountable—and they can do whatever they want,” Kevin DeAnna told an invitation-only gathering of approximately 50 white nationalists in Rome.

Breaking into a broad smile, he excitedly added: “You should be fantasizing about this. This is a good thing.”

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....
Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist. 

There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.

We're in the era of incompetence & cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue." So OpenAI & Anthropic are trying to one up each other with such incompetence because the "press release as a service" performing media & clueless politicians parrot pre IPO CEO talking points.

Public storage is sold as neutral infrastructure, a convenience. For artists, it is often a site of profound vulnerability. These spaces are not designed to preserve culture, but to extract monthly fees.
