If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

"Cognitive surrender" is a fascinating concept to think about the impact of AI as it exists under reactionary tech Preventing people from thinking for themselves and imagining different worlds is a godsend for authoritarians thenextweb.com/news/wharton...

thenextweb.com

Wharton researchers coined 'cognitive surrender' to describe what happens when people let AI think for them

A Wharton study found people accepted wrong AI answers 80% of the time, as apps like Moot now let five AI personas vote on your life decisions.

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

I'm teaching this workshop online on Monday 29th June for @poetrybusiness.bsky.social - "Writing Poems Inspired by Music and Song". Come and listen to songs with us! poetrybusiness.co.uk/whats-on/wor...

"Writing Poems Inspired by Music and Song"
If ekphrasis is (usually) a textual response to a visual piece of art, how does that change when the piece of art is a song? Do we respond differently to Pulp than to Puccini? To Bonnie Prince Billy or Bonnie Tyler or Beethoven? We'll be looking at work by poets like Frank O Hara, Anthony Vahni Capildeo and Bob Cobbing, then create our own new poems in response to musical prompts. With poet Chrissy Williams.
