Grimpler @wainsaht.bsky.social · 11/10/2025I'd say there is no point in trying anymore. We have to treat every image, video or audio recording like we already treat written or spoken things. Might be true, might be false. Fact or fiction. Focus on who made that, and why. And only then decide if it may be true. 120

Having turned large parts of the cultural archive into training data, it now traps us in a foreverized pastness, a 24/7 nostalgia for a past that never existed 13562179

Grimpler @wainsaht.bsky.social · 21/08/2025I am a sucker for semi-random book recommendations like this one. A half-heard book review on the radio? A person on the internet I follow because whatever? The pick of the week by the book store with the weird t-shirt? Good enough for me. Great way to discover books I'd never have read otherwise. 120
