Reading about love (bell hooks) and reflecting about it, I concluded that I don't have neither self love nor self hate, but some kind of self annoyance. That is my take of today.

Travelling to the UK in spring every other year: came with spring clothes and felt cold. This year, I came prepared for cold/rain and it will be 24 degrees and sunny in Liverpool this afternoon. And I will be in black. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Does anyone know any texts that apply Graeber's interpretation of the role of debt to the fall of Roman Empire Yarvin's (awful, eugenic, and despicable) ideal of ultra libertarian city-states? Totally random thought, but I would like to know if someone has written about it

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

So much of cybersecurity is "We must secure the Orphan Crushing Machine so that unauthorized people do not crush the orphans," and not "Why the fuck are you building an Orphan Crushing Machine in the first place?"

In my view, this is also an aesthetic (or rather: anesthetic) effect of AI slop and #PlatformRealism: it makes the most horrible and unimaginable things look like something mundane and commonplace, it gives images promoting abhorrent crimes the look of holiday cards and cheap clickbait ads 6/

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

Based on (the little) I read about coups and what I am seeing now: It takes time to build support for political coups and authoritarianism. But when one gets it, then things happen from one day to another, with just some dudes saying: 'Give me that' with very little immediate resistance.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

With all that is going on right now in the US, I would very much like to see consumer research/marketing journal editors making the statement that research about gender, intersectionality and LGBTQIA+ issues is more relevant than ever and welcomed in their journals. Anyone?

It's amazing that DEI is something corporate consultants came up with to keep their clients from getting sued and now CEOs themselves are freaking out over how it's reverse racism, it's like if your mom was scared of the bogeyman

The world’s richest men can’t buy themselves into being tolerable. Just the biggest collection of weenies you ever did see, so desperate for acceptance that they’re malleable and weak and bland and, in turn, destructive as hell. SMH.

Local consumption is super important for communities and the environment. And yet, there are several challenges for fostering it. In this @theconversation.com piece, we explore some of them, after a project with Reims Commerce: theconversation.com/au-coeur-des...

Au cœur des villes, la consommation locale n’atteint pas toujours le cœur de la clientèle
Si les consommateurs sont favorables au commerce de proximité, ce dernier doit adapter son offre pour renforcer son attractivité. Le dynamisme des centres-villes en dépend.

Just asked GPT “Based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like.” There is a racial bias, but still... on spot?

How much more evidence do we need, after 29 failures, that the climate COPs are not fit for purpose? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. There have been many proposals for a process that would actually work, but all are ignored. The talks are MEANT to fail.

This is growing! As someone who still misses old-school Twitter, I am thinking about leaving the more "political-professional" content here and the more personal stuff on Threads... Happy to keep connecting with other engaged scholars!

Sometimes I have the impression that the world is becoming today's Brazil: outraging inequality, daily violence, Nature is explored limitlessly, endless corruption, both hyper-sexual and bigot. Don't get me wrong, there are great things about my country, but not these. And these dominate today.
