Ich hab jetzt auch mal den Text von Danger Dans "Keine Angst" gelesen und äh das ist das, was man seinen Kindern eh beibringt, oder nicht? Ich hab sowas und noch äh praktischere Dinge gelernt als ich unter 20 war. Von daher versteh ich die Aufregung nicht so ganz?

Spanish is the eighth language I've learned to say "Thank you" in.

I need more Spanish in Chile than I needed Russian in Kazakhstan. Sadly, my Spanish is only vibes. Donde esta la bibliotheca etc. The last time people have so relentlessly talked at me I their native language despite me obviously not understanding them was Korea.

Künstlerische Forschung - mein Fachgebiet - setzt Kunst als Methode zur Wissensgewinnung ein. Unter anderem deshalb, weil Kunst sinnlich erfahrbar ist und deshalb neue Zugänge zu Wissen eröffnen kann. Lebe stets so dass Merz etwas dagegen hätte I guess.

the spectacularly naive perspective of Herndon and Dryhurst is... refreshing? But to think that the overwhelming online presence of AI slop will lead to Chatbots undistorted by commercial interests, answering truthfully, leading to refinement? Weltfremd.

Sodium doesn't solve extractivism and its challenges. It just puts them somewhere else.

Been learning about batteries. Lithium, Sodium. While sodium sounds like "Hey they're making batteries out of salt now", these kind of batteries need nickel and manganese. Highest concentration of nickel in the world is in Indonesia. Manganese? Ocean floor, South Africa or Ukraine.

That's not strange and haunting, that's fucking boring as shit. It's lazyness all around, starting with the programmers that just go fuck it let's all use the same training data and sell it to people as different kinds of AI, and ending with the self-published grifters who flood amazon with slop

The Chileans I meet are all very poetical when they speak English. And all very dark. I've been listening to rather frightening tales of getting "bone cold chills" in the desert and magic spells regarding technology. I love it all.

I talked to someone who is about as highly flammable as I am. Took that energy into the next meeting and I now have a friend and a zine project at the other side of the earth.

The new thermal underwear I bought has a sticker saying it's "bodyshaping". I'm afraid my shape may be Rollmops.

Yes. Well. I have one more month to find out how to survive in minus 2 degrees Celsius in a tent in the desert. I did not have that on my bingo card for this year. This life, even.

I have a recording studio. It works VERY well. Or would, if they would stop doing shit to it they're not supposed to.

We are renters in this building. I'm just asking that my landlords (the city) don't actively destroy the unique properties of the studio, which is quite good otherwise.

twena @twena.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
They did all that without asking or consulting us, and before my time. I've spent the last two years trying to reverse the damage. Still have that big-ass hole in the wall where the camera sat. We joke that they're going to brick up the door next. but at this point... they might.

twena @twena.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
And before that they installed a fire alarm system that uses a sound wave to communicate that is picked up in all of our recordings and cannot be erased in post. We now have to turn of the fire system to record. Splendid.

This is after they drilled a hand-sized hole into my acoustic panels to install a camera that not only filmed my colleague in the room while working (illegal), but the camera also MADE SOUND while on and could not be turned off by us.

twena @twena.bsky.social · 04/05/2026
Sigh. I'm currently battling the building maintenance department of the city, as they want to put loudspeakers for announcements and alarms and evacuation guiding which we cannot control or turn off INTO MY SOUND RECORDING STUDIO. I can't. And it's only Monday.

It is still inconceivable to me that these people exist and say things like this out loud. I've been watching the stakeholder speeches, where Karp describes Palantir as software to rule people, kill enemies and demolish a free society.

Multi-crises, raging AI slop, the hiding of quality news behind paywalls, plus "rule by mad dictator" in the US. I think it's fair to say that when there is only outrage left in the world, people resign. At least I'm seeing this with me. I don't have the energy to protest everything that's happening

Does it really matter to you how people learn about these things, as long as they do? This reads a bit like a "holier-than-thou" rant. Yes you read the book first. But this is about tipping the scale of public opinion. Everyone's tired Roland. There's not much outrage left.

I learned in Lille recently that the method of the Bilderatlas is not unique to Warburg. Kandinsky also used this technique to teach his students at Bauhaus. It was the PowerPoint slide deck of their day.

"The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price". Alex Karp should indeed not be put into the position of getting the personal identifying data of all German citizens & residents. He has plans, deranged ones.

I talked to a person on the weekend. He is from Berlin. I am from Berlin. Growing up, there was no wall for him dividing Berlin into two parts, as it was for me. We both saw the wall fall, however, and we compared notes that evening how we both experienced it.

Und der nächste Banger: Erasmusjahr oder Arbeiten im Ausland muss sich die Hälfte der Bevölkerung in Zukunft im Vorfeld vom Militär genehmigen lassen. So genau weiss das keiner, weil sie ne Regel aus dem Kalten Krieg recycelt haben, die ein harter Grundrechte-Einschnitt wär wenn sie so kommt.
