In my new paper, I argue that to understand environments (biological, cognitive, digital), we must first rethink information as a material property, not just description. A rereading of von Uexküll, Gibson, and Koffka through Somenzi’s lens. #PhilosophyOfScience #CognitiveScience #InformationTheory

I heard a great plan yesterday. 1. Win the midterms and take control of the House and Senate. 2. DO NOT IMPEACH TACO. 3. Impeach Vance. 4 Refuse to confirm any TACO VP nominee. 5. Impeach TACO and that elevates the Democratic Speaker to the job. Then use EOs to undo the EOs. Sounds good.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

I can’t afford healthcare or electricity, and ICE just abducted my neighbor. But at least I no longer have to see plaques that mention slavery when I visit national landmarks.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

La cosa più inquietante di Rita De Crescenzo a Belve è che se fai attenzione alla sintassi e al modo di usare la lingua, è come sentire un discorso di Trump.

I love the way Trump gets fooled by any war criminal who follows this playbook: do as you please ignoring the USA, then call Trump for a meeting, let him walk into a conference room claiming a deal has been made (giving the runaround about details), tell the guy he’s a Nobel candidate, and repeat.

The story that inspired the most mail The New Yorker had ever received in response to a work of fiction—and caused some readers to cancel their subscriptions.

“The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson
Fiction, from 1948: “The people had done it so many times that they only half listened to the directions; most of them were quiet, wetting their lips, not looking around.”

Over 100 ICE agents are outside Governor Newsom’s press conference in LA. Not an immigrant in sight. So you can mark your calendars for the exact day ICE became a militarized intimidation force.
