tweet by kedrick james: Unknowingly wore my Kalshi hoodie to the gym this morning and an older black gentleman compared the damage Kalshi is doing to young black men to the KKK and so I think I might have to keep this one in my closet going forward because I don’t need to have that convo again

reply by GL: 
Kalshi is objectively detrimental to society and you should be reminded of that every day

Today it’s 50 years since I first presented Playschool wearing my blue beads and silver heart. I adore bringing joy into the lives of my Playschool Babies during the 12 years I was on the programme. ❤️

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out
A man with a spectacular 1970s mullet, wearing big wellies and a v-neck jumper over a T-shirt, looks at camera as he stands on a boat which is itself standing on the muddy bottom of an empty canal. He is holding up an enormous wooden plug on a long chunky chain

Happy ‘Gradually Dawning Sense of Horror’ Day to all who celebrate
Screenshot of New Yorker website showing the opening paragraph of Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery: The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.

I remain of the view that regulation of social media is better than a ban for young people. But I also pretty much agree with all these proposals.
Ban continuous scroll. Appears to one of the most addictive features with no downside in banning it.
Require a 20s delay before playing any video. Would make essentially no difference to watching TV episodes or films, but would effectively nuke short-form video.8
Require all platforms to have the default feed

 as people you follow, in chronological order. Reduces algorithmic effects.
Any platform that uses an algorithm more complex than ‘people you follow in chronological order’ to be treated as a publisher, and held to account for content. As above, but more robustly.
Require users to use real names. Much of the worst content is produced by anons; it would also make it easier to hold people to account for things that are banned in real life, such as libel or incitement to violence.
Require all platforms to provide a suite of user tools. This might include hard blocks, ability to detag yourself or restrict ‘quote tweets’, and community notes.

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

But you cannot draw the masses into politics without drawing in the women as well. For under capitalism the female half of the human race is doubly oppressed.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.
A 2 panel sketch disgram of a 1 meter tall pod. in the second panel, an oval section pops off and a demonic little face with short tentacles flies out, crudely drawn.

I think I can blame @gralefrit.bsky.social that I've spent the last three evenings watching "The City Of The Dead", then "The Borderlands", and just now finished "A Field In England". I am feeling very B&W and pagan all over, thank you.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Tom Lehrer. I've often played his songs to my kids as an example of the epitome of wit.

This is neoliberalism all over, here. The men running the water companies should be in jail. The politicians negotiating their continuing contracts should also be in jail, because it is shared corruption. The entire thing is corrupt, there is no straight business involved.

@gralefrit.bsky.social very much enjoyed Broken Veil (despite the Tena Lady adverts trying to ruin the mood). Have you read "The City And The City", by China Miéville? Parts of your series reminded me of that novel. Cheers.
