CamJam: “Matt!”, I almost certainly can’t hear you cry (the voices, though, they persist; whose are they if not yours?), “what thrilling link do you have to open Curios with on what is yet another chilly and miserable day in what appears to be The Winter Than Never Ends?” Erm…some traffic cams? Ok, fine, I can’t imagine that the prospect of being able to watch near-live feeds from hundreds of London’s traffic monitoring systems while seated in front of a computer (or, ok, yes, theoretically on your phone, but I have always maintained that reading Curios and accessing any of these links on mobile is, fundamentally, THE PERVERT’S CHOICE) is immediately filling any of you with CREATIVE VIM and hope for the prospect of seasonal renewal, but, well, just bear with me for a second. This is a project by Jonty Wareing, who is pulling feeds from over 900 traffic cams around the city and streaming them (at 4x speed; as he points out, traffic cameras are fcuking dull) on this site; the feed changes every few seconds, which means that right now, as of 710am, I can switch to that tab and see the city waking up, various arterial transitpoints filling with people, the millions of people who live here all slowly flooding the streets with metal and smoke and meat…seriously, chuck this on and put some music on behind it and I guarantee you that you have a music video, almost regardless of what track or genre you select (given the 4x speed it would probably even work with Yakkity Sax), and a truly meditative experience. Honestly, I could watch this all morning (but, apologies, I am going to write Curios instead).

This has very much grown on me this week; there’s an insidious, sad little melody at the heart of it which has kept resurfacing in my mind, and I would like to hear more from this band – they’re called Brown Horse, the song is called ‘Twisters’ and THAT IS IT WE ARE DONE HERE I AM GOING TO LUNCH AND TO HELL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES I LOVE YOU SEE YOU SOON BYE!

Next up is ‘Slap on the Wrist’ by Girli – I think I probably enjoy the energy of this more than the actual song, but all hail the sentiment and the video (and lyrics tbh) is a miserable reminder of How Things Still Are For Women.

Songs In Case of Sudden Death: Do you ever think about the song you’d like playing when you die? I do (I am not telling you, though, if you want to know you can sit there and listen to it with me FFS). In our last longread this week, Casey Jo Graham Welders writes about love and death and family and music and and and. This is very very good, and not sad at all, I promise you.

The Sycamore Gap: I feel slightly guilty admitting this but, well, I didn’t care at all about the Sycamore Gap tree being felled; literally not one iota. Sorry. Still, this article in Harper’s by Rosa Lyster is SO SO GOOD, on the crime and the trial and the tree and the perpetrators and the FURORE – honestly, this is laugh-out-loud funny in parts, and you will be smiling when you’re not loling, honest. “The prosecution, which had initially gone out of its way to emphasize the tree’s precise financial value (622,191 pounds), stopped citing this figure partway through the trial, and did not elaborate on how it had been calculated. Toward the end of the trial, lawyers began to insinuate that it was in fact members of the press who had disseminated this nonsensical sum, in their endless quest for sensationalism. Never mind. Between them, the lawyers and the judges agreed that the only financial figure that mattered was 5,000 pounds, which is the threshold for considering a significant prison sentence in cases of criminal damage. The effort to establish that terrible harm had been done had to rely on less straightforward means of valuation. Often, this came in the form of suggestions from the prosecutors that the sycamore had not actually been a tree at all. At one point, Carruthers said that the reason he had been googling “Sycamore Gap” so incessantly was that he hadn’t been able to understand what all the fuss was about—like someone had been murdered. “My understanding,” he said, “was that it was just a tree.” Wright and Knox both seized on this, bringing it up as often as they could. “What you thought was just a tree,” Wright said, “was in fact global news.” Carruthers had believed it was only a tree, but, Wright continued, the rest of the world had thought that its felling was “a terrible and wicked thing” to do and “something that right-thinking people were upset about.” Knox exclaimed to the jury in his closing speech: “Six days into this trial, which has absorbed so much publicity, so much excitement, so much attention, and he said”—pointing at Carruthers—“it was just a tree.””

Infinite Jest at 30: I have repeatedly spoken for my live of both David Foster Wallace’s writing and specifically Infinite Jest over the 16 years of Curios, but I won’t miss an opportunity to link to something telling everyone else how great it, and he, was; this is SUCH a good piece of writing in the New Yorker, not least because it does a better job than almost any other essay I have read on IJ of explaining why it is a FUN book, a pleasure to read (despite the almost unrelentingly-heavy subject matter), endlessly amusing and clever and, thirty years on, in some respects so prescient it fcuking HURTS…Look, now that we have all, I hope, moved on from the tired old trope of ‘men who read DFW are a semaphore school of red flags’, maybe now is the time to let people read the novel again without pointing and laughing (oh, ok, you can point and laugh a BIT).

Anyway, this is a good piece – doesn’t sensationalise it too much, but still leaves you (or at least me) with the very strong sensation that the people described here are literally living in Fallout: New Vegas.

Whatever Creek Meadows: Our final longread this week is from the latest Granta – I know that the Sheila Heti ‘doing therapy while on psychedelics’ piece is getting all the love, but I found this much, much better. Benjamin Kunkel’s short story, about friends on a hike and the reasonably-low-stakes fallout that ensues, has a quality to the prose that I absolutely adore; the gimmick here is that each paragraph is a single, run-on sentence (you can perhaps guess why I like it so…), which is a technique I have definitely seen employed by Famous Writers before but which feels somehow fresh and fun in his hands, and the general tone of this is so perfectly internal monologue-y and intimate and conversational, and so exactly redolent of its narrator’s mental state throughout, that it feels almost-perfect. I really, really liked this, the first really good short I have read online this year imho – see what you think.

Poetry and Memory: I enjoyed this piece so much that I am including it despite the fact that I honestly hate reading things on Electric Literature SO MUCH – honestly, everything about the design and layout of their pages causes me psychic pain, what the fcuk are they thinking? Anyway, this is by Victoria Kornick, about writing poetry and the relationship she now feels between thoughts expressed in verse, the pauses and the beats, and her own mind and memory, and it’s beautiful throughout: “Poetry accounts for pauses in a way that prose refuses to. This was one of the reasons I loved it: how I could mark the breath of a caesura on the page, how I could scan syllables for emphasis and note line breaks with slash marks, stanza breaks with double slashes.Poetry accounts for pauses in a way that prose refuses to. When I teach poetry now, I show my students a line and cover the one below it. What would it mean if you only had access to the first? For example, if I began: “I had a seizure, though perhaps not” It would cast doubt on the fact of the seizure, pausing your reading before you reach the rest of the sentence. Each line is, for a moment, true, even if the next complicates or negates it. “I had a seizure, though perhaps not / my first.” The line break allows for a brief deception, an omission, a doubling in meaning. Enjambment is, in some ways, a trick. But it is also powerful to hold two truths together at once—each line on its own, and what they become together.”

How Joe Rogan Became: A great New Yorker piece on the Joe Rogan podcast and how it ascended to become possibly the most influential global media property in the world – the reason it works is because the author has taken the time to go back through and listen to a LOT of the podcasts (Jesus, can you *imagine*?) and as such you get a really nice longitudinal reading of how the tone and topics have shifted while maintaining Rogan’s Curious Khan persona. It’s perhaps more generous to its host than some might have been – it’s obvious the author has a soft spot – but in general it’s a decently-objective look at a major centre of informational gravity.

On which note, it strikes me as broadly plausible that we might be the last generation for a while that feels that ‘living longer’ is aspirational rather than simply an extension to one’s sentence – MAKES YOU THINK (and maybe cry a bit).

‘Rather Right Wing’: Speaking of ‘ominous signals’, this piece about Bumble in Germany and its recent changes to how one can designate one’s politics on the platform felt…not great! It’s a German article, but right-click to translate it in Chrome and you can enjoy learning about the fact that the dating app quietly introduced a new way of describing one’s politics in the Germanic world, one which exists to seemingly soften and euphemise and, well, normalise a host of potentially QUITE HORRIBLE viewpoints. What do you think designating oneself ‘rather right wing’ (an option which has replaced ‘conservative’ when selecting one’s political orientation) might mean, in a country with the AfD continuing to poll strongly and the, er, particular history which Germany is burdened with?

Slow Trains, Fast Country: More ChinaChat, again thanks to Alex, this is a piece featuring translated interviews with people travelling vast distances across China to reunite with family over the New Year celebrations, and offers another interesting corrective to to the ‘all urban, all the time!’ picture presented by the majority of the past few years’ sinohype. “For years, high-speed rail has been held up as one of China’s proudest achievements. In this piece, I simply hope to turn the spotlight, for a moment, towards the more than 300 million migrant workers whose labor keeps Chinese cities running. We rarely see them in headlines, but no city could function a single day without them. Instead of boarding the sleek, ubiquitous bullet trains, millions of migrant workers choose the slowest options still running: old slow trains, hard-seat carriages, overnight journeys that leave your back aching and your legs numb. Each of them has a reason for choosing this route. Most of those reasons have to do with children and parents, with saving every possible yuan for the people waiting at home.” These are, in many cases, very poignant indeed – the contrast between the very human worry and exhaustion you hear described in these accounts and what Alex termed “all the dancing robot tech pr0n” is stark.

Why AI Writing Is Still So Sh1t: So the actual title of this is ‘semantic ablation’ which, honestly, what the fcuk? Despite that horror, this is actually a very good, clear and comprehensible piece about all the reasons why AI models are, and continue to be, absolutely dogsh1t prose stylists – the short answer here is ‘because of being anchored to the linguistic mean, where nothing stylistically interesting happens’, but there’s a far more nuanced explanation in the full version which I really do recommend you click. Not long – in fact mercifully short – but probably the most helpful text I have yet read on why you should never, ever get The Machine to write copy for you (unless your readers are clueless morons who don’t deserve quality prose – which, you know what, they might well be, fcuk those cnuts).

The People Who Resist AI in China: Anothe really interesting dispatch from China via Jeffrey Ding, who this week has collated a bunch of writing from people who are actively resisting AI adoption, contrary to the oft-conceived popular opinion that everyone in the country is embracing this with both hands. An interesting degree of nuance and a nice counterpoint to the prevailing ‘the West might hate AI but everyone else loves it’ narrative that I have been guilty of peddling at times. A note of caution, though, which links to the previous piece; as the accounts suggest, the meaningful degree to which it’s possible to ‘resist’ this technology is lessening by the week. “Escaping AI and finding a job less susceptible to its replacement is the first thought for most people worried about AI affecting their work and livelihoods. However, as AI capabilities continue to improve, like playing a battle royale game, the safe zone is shrinking.”

AI & Jobs: Some Scenarios: One day I am going to stop wanging on about this, but only when either a) AI vanishes or b) when it feels like governments have started looking this problem squarely in the face rather than staring up at the sky and just sort of humming a vague refrain about ‘economic recalibration’ and ‘reskilling’ whenever it’s mentioned’. Derek Thompson is reliably smart on this stuff, and the various outline scenarios that he posits here are clear, sensible and, to my mind, non-hyperbolic, not always the case with this stuff. Here he sets out a world in which AI *won’t* destroy all the jobs and the economy and one it which it *will* (pick your fighter! Obviously midpoints on this continuum are very much available) – and, look, I know which one my money’s on, but let’s all hope I’m as wrong about this as I have tended to be about every single big political call in my lifetime!

Listless Liberalism: The journey undergone by the term ‘liberal’ over the course of the past century is a semantically-interesting one, from the classic Rawlsian position of the mid-20thC to the current version which, whatever you might think of Rawls, has travelled…some distance from the place you end up if you take the ‘state of nature’ thought experiment in any way seriously. This piece takes broadly defines liberalism in its most modern, American and derided incarnation – which, you know, is fine, set your terms and all that – and assesses its failings through the prism of two books, the much-discussed ‘vision for the future’ described in ‘Abundance’, and ‘Liberalism: In Defence of Freedom’ by Cass Sunstein. While this is annoyingly myopic in its focus on the US – GUYS THIS IS A GLOBAL CONVERSATION WE ARE HERE TOO YOU KNOW – the conclusions it draws about the reasons for the ‘failures’ of liberalisms’ current shape feel accurate in the extreme: “The problem with the aesthetics and the problem with the politics are, it turns out, one and the same. Both display a hall monitor’s love of rules and regulations; both wish to reduce the gnarl of a person to the simple purity of a plot on a graph. As Trilling put it in a passage about a similarly blinkered worldview, “what is meant negatively is that man cannot be comprehended in a formula; what is meant positively is the sense of complication and possibility, of surprise, intensification, variety, unfoldment, worth.” The sort of art and argument that could make its audience want to be liberal would have to begin by regarding its audience as agents. It would have to enlist them as equals instead of demoting them to the role of pupils; it would have to demonstrate just what form—or, more appropriately to the liberal sensibility, forms—the beautiful abrasions of communal self-determination might take.”

Well cast all those questions and concerns aside as you prepare to experience the MUSEUM OF MONEY, an actual, honest-to-goodness, real-life ‘attraction’ (lol, America, this is what you have instead of culture, SHAME) in Dallas, Texas, whose website I here present for your enjoyment and delectation. The Museum of Money is one of those DEEPLY EXPERIENTIAL setups which seemingly exists solely as a backdrop for people to ‘create content’ against – so, for example, you can sit in a BATH OF MONEY like some sort of Temu Scrooge McDuck, ‘dive into the vault of Money Magic!’, chat with, er, AI 80s Patrick Bateman-analogue ‘Dex Diamondhands’ (WHAT THE FCUK IS THIS HODL BULLSHIT IS IT 2021 AGAIN???) about money (also, why?), or – and I feel the need to quote this in full, because it made me feel quite queasy I don’t see why I should suffer alone – “step into our low‑key luxe zone, where the stakes feel high, the fantasy runs richer, and every photo cashes out as pure boss‑level bragging rights.” This is, let’s be clear, FCUKING HORRIFIC, but also a quite perfect act of entirely-unintentional satire. “Through playful, hands-on exhibits and data-driven storytelling, we trace money’s journey from minting presses to blockchain nodes. Laugh, learn, and leave richer in every sense because every dollar holds a story, and here, you’re the storyteller.” Tickets start at $30 – EVERYONE LEAVES RICHER!!! You know what?

Anyway, this link is one for when the weather picks up a bit and things like ‘going for a nice walk’ become legitimate options rather than cruel taunts; Slow Ways is a crowdsourced map of the best walking routes around the UK, a BRILLIANT resource for anyone outdoorsy. “Slow Ways is our citizen-made national walking network, connecting all of Britain’s towns, cities and national landscapes.

We are a not-for-profit initiative created by thousands of citizens. Together we are making it easier to walk from A to B because we believe that if people know they can walk somewhere, they will! Here you’ll find over 10,000 walks that have been shared by people across the country, including thousands of reviews with practical advice and friendly guidance to support your adventures.” Honestly, SUCH a good idea – bookmark it, send it to your walking friends, make plans to hike the Ridgeway in the Summer, or alternatively enjoy the warm glow you get from the concept and then close the tab and get back to browsing like the internet-poisoned webgoblin we both know you at heart are.

The Stamps of Mt. Fuji: So I was ignorant of this, but I *think* this is about climbing Mount Fuji and the fact that, at the various staging posts and huts that exist on the trail, one can collect various stamps marking one’s ascent The site’s made by a design studio called PixelJam; per the blurb, “In 2022, I climbed Mount Fuji via the Yoshida trail, a humbling experience that left a lasting impact. The simplicity of iron-branding on walking sticks fascinated me, as did the warm hospitality of hut owners. Motivated by these encounters, I began an art project to share Mount Fuji’s stations and stamps with people worldwide. Please welcome this special edition of the ½8 journal, where we navigate from the 5th station all the way to the summit.” This is lovely – calm and meditative and, oddly, the autoplaying ambient soundscape is in no way irritating, which is a small but noteworthy point considering how grating I usually find ‘THE SOUNDS OF NATURE’ in these sorts of projects. I still don’t really understand the ‘stamps’ thing, though.

Infinite Terrain: A small, silly, beautiful, pointless little procedural generation toy, via Lynn, which lets you guide a small red ball around an initially-empty landscape; as you move, so a natural landscape springs up around you, with grass and trees and flowers and rocks appearing to mark your path. You can tweak the procgen settings in a sidebar to adjust the fecundity of the landscape, and while this is basically just a little tech/coding demo, there’s something genuinely very relaxing about just sort of rolling through a meadow that gets created as you pass, like some sort of non-stressful version of Monkeyball (which, if you missed it the other week, SLAPS in-browser).

Women’s Sizing: One of the easiest ways in which to be reminded of one’s privilege as a man is to take a fleeting look at the general insanity of women’s fashion – capricious, often actively-harmful to its wearers (I refuse to believe that the people who design women’s shoes aren’t malevolent sadists; it is 2026 ffs! They shouldn’t hurt you that much!) and with sizing protocols that are at best batsh1t insane and at worst an act of determined psychological cruelty (“what’s that? You expect a size 10 to be a consistent measurement rather than an arbitrary designation that could apply to anything from a thimble to a circus tent? YOU IDIOT! YOU RUBE! YOU MORON!”) – here, the dataviz geniuses at The Pudding apply their dedicated craft to exploring the ways in which women’s clothes sizing (in the US, at least – this is very much working of American population and clothing data) tends to fit adolescents more than it does actual grown adults, and how widely-divergent sizing is across brands, and how, objectively, mental this is when you look at it as a phenomenon across the industry. Of course, none of this matters given we’re all going to be reduced to stitching our own smocks out of burlap come the eventual collapse of the labour market, but, still, it shouldn’t be this way!

Day Lane wrote to me, saying “My new project is the Antifreeze Archive (antifreeze.gallery/), an attempt to archive all the pieces of paper that are produced by communities in response to federal occupation of American cities. Things like: flyers, posters, Know-Your-Rights cards, ice hotline cards, etc. We’re asking people in American cities to mail in submissions to be preserved for future generations.” This feels like a useful and important project – so much of what is being done at an on-street and grassroots level to protest ICE is analogue, and it feels significant somehow to seek to document and preserve actions taken by people in the face of fascism – should you be in the US, or know people who are, and be in a position to contribute materials to the project then you can find full details about how to do so on the site; it’s a newish initiative and so the archive’s limited at present; spread the word and help it grow.
