So many people already dealing with parents/grandparents with the toxic combination of diminishing mental faculties, online radicalisation via social media and AI slop, and chatbot seduction. Unfortunately we are now all getting to see what happens when one of those cases is the president of the USA

War is target fixation. War is concrete cicatrix. War is an unbanishable ghost. Hookland knows this. It pillboxes remain manifestations of invasion fears. The abandoned sound mirrors of its salt marshes still listen out for phantom planes. There is no psychic peace. – #DAKilory

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

If anyone did want this, or any of the stuff I post, you can let me know directly. I’m finding the whole process of advertising my work on here temporarily dispiriting . I guess this is that too but 68% more low key

The New Jon Hassell album "Music Is Invisible" is out today. I spent a lot of time listening to it over recent weeks and wrote ~2,000 words about it which will be published on Monday in @thetonearm.com. I especially love the last track "Electric Forest," which you can hear below.

It's hard to tell which is weirder: the fact that these guys seriously suggest that models like Claude have consciousness/sentience or that they actually invest time and money (weird!) trying to convince the Pope as well as theologians and legal scholars of this belief.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

Why do fascists hate art? Art asks you to step into another's shoes, to consider what the artist was trying to express and to understand who they are. Art is, above all, an act of humanity, a shared moment of vulnerability, a request for empathy, sympathy and compassion. That's why they love AI
