Dans la campagne genevoise, la géographe Juliet Fall se promène de borne en borne. Elles semblent immuables, certaines datant de 1816, lorsque furent fixées les limites du canton. Pourtant, la frontiè...

What a profoundly depressing graphic. From a continent that has forged so many progressive and radical movements, to a region of hardline fashy governments in such a short space of time.

AI in writing is an absolute curse. I have always been a big fan of dashes - because they allow thoughts to wander in a parallel world to the main point - but now I fear them. Short sentences too. Adding rhythm. So basically AI steals our grammar and style, then appropriates it. Imperialist logic. 🤮

Improbable historical border stone in the middle of the Canton de Vaud. I am obviously haunted by such things! Worth noting that I walked straight pas this, and only my partner spotted it. I’m losing my stone-whisperer superpowers! #AlongtheLine #Bornées
Woman stands next to a border stone in front of a village house. The photo’s perspective makes her look oddly shortText showing it’s an old border marker for the “baillages” of Fribourg and Bern. Honestly I’m a bit fuzzy about the precise history here…

Kids are rioting for the right to be educated with dignity, in buildings that are maintained, for their teachers to be sufficiently supported, and for a hopeful future — and not to be gassed by police when they ask? The kids, I tell you, are ok. The grown-ups, however, have some soul-searching to do

Une gamine de 18 ans est condamnée pour un crime atroce. Elle attend pendant 30 ans d’être exécutée. Sa mise à mort est suspendue 1h avant l’injection. Le sursis est annulé. Elle survit, est finalement transportée à l’hôpital, soignée avant une probable nouvelle exécution. Qui sont les barbares?

[11/12] Toute relation à l’espace est aussi sociale. Certains groupes ont plus de pouvoir que d’autres pour définir ce qui mérite d’être protégé, transformé ou ignoré. Déposséder des habitants du droit à un cadre de vie de qualité relève aussi de la domination, de la justice et de la résistance.

I would like media to care more about the reality that tech tycoons want to kill people than what they’re imagining about AI wanting to kill people. We have multi-millionaires (with support from billionaires!) calling for ethnic cleansing, a thing that has happened in living memory. Not theoretical!

I've spent a lot of years studying a lot of collapses, and the truth of the matter is that they're always mundane: mild climatic shifts that reduce crop yields, a dumbass in power who makes some terrible decisions, neglecting things that obviously matter but the will to fix them can't be summoned.

Diversity in theoretical positions in science & social science is one thing, but having people in state-funded universities willingly align themselves with far-right, authoritarian / populist political positions is quite another.

Welcome to the world where geography is adapted to make small minds feel powerful, and reality is presented differently to you depending on where you are. Algorithms already made us live in our own reality bubbles, so now space & territory are also fully relative. Thanks, tech bros! 🌎🌍
