The fucking YuGiOh ending...
linux heads were always right. time to sit my dumbass down and learn
Big new beautiful subsea cable map! submarine-cable-map-2026.telegeography.com
It's fascinating how, in trying to source a quote (Gelsinger's “God decided where the oil reserves are, we get to decide where the fabs are," cited imprecisely (😡) in Chris Miller's Chip Wars) I've isntead found a bunch of LinkedIn posts plagiarizing it badly. What's up with you LinkedIn? Why?
Congrats!!!! Very cool news.
New Gorillaz album is a delight. More flute! More sitar! Yasin Bey and Omar Souleyman together! A big beautiful hand animated music video! It leaves me just so pleased that people like to create things.
An instagram ad for a training bursary in maritine rope and twine crafts. It's got a fellow in a dirty canvas shirt, competently, no doubt, working some knot on a sail rigging on a ship. There's also promotional copy, doing the usual online ad stuff, urging you to act now and master your craft/get the skills training you need!
Do you find yourself growing grim about the mouth? Is it a damp, drizzly November in your soul? Do you find yourself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral you meet?
Noble path, noble truths
It's Greta Thunberg, wearing a lovely keffiya and a really sick tshirt with the word AUSTIM written in flame font with a skeleton posing holding two giant guns
For example
Cheers to clearing a big hurdle! And, with affection, this is unsurprising to hear. Hope this nets 'ya some helpful supports/sweet sweet posting rights
DIY Methods is back!! this conference is really the ideal way to engage in/with research: via zine exchange! this year there are three streams: conventional, risograph, and self-published/experimental.
i'm so excited to be a part of it again! :) check out what it was like in 2024... 🧵
DIY Methods, our little conference-by-zine about unconventional approaches to research, rises again! Maybe you'd like to make a zine on your weird/cool approach to methods, and receive a bundle of similarly weird/cool zines in the mail? Pitch submissions are due April 20th. diymethods.net
They really colour matched this one perfectly
I’m so happy this is out in the world, and I feel like people might enjoy a TV ad for TAT-8. Yes, a subsea cable with TV ad youtu.be/KklN1DCRmCU?...
The conference schedule for Cables of Resistance is up! programm.infraunited.org/cableresist2...
Our book is published!!!

There is supposed to be an open access version available, which does not seem to be actually available, and which I am doggedly pursing, but for now: hurrah! Print enjoyers, get your copies!
Success! Turns out it was a Standford professor (obvs) www.gsb.stanford.edu/insights/and...
I like to imagine somewhere there's an old dev from Ask Jeeves who's equally self-congratulatory and pissed off about the shift from traditional search to LLMs.
Does anyone happen to know the origin story of the whole "AI is the new electricity" slogan? I've found it in so many places (and plagiarized by so many people) that this might be a doomed quest...
Great read! @alondra.bsky.social has some real bars:
"What [the Trump administration] has advanced is not the absence of AI regulation but its rearrangement, often by caprice..."

gotten to the point in the research process where I think I just need to write speculative fiction
Would that email were so powerful!

In a literal way, the platforms are building a bespoke reality around you designed to maximize your misery, in which everything costs the absolute most you can afford.
They are taking the clarity of the price signal—the one virtue of the free market system—and replacing it with a hall of mirrors.
Pats then explore new ways of signifying different quirks and personalities in entirely non-visual idioms that escape algorithmic capture ("that's Iambic pentameter Pat")
I dream of a future where a subculture called 'Pat face' takes off (everyone gets surgically altered to look like the same person--Pat--in order to do the obfuscation trick of a group of people using the same loyalty card)
In case my thumbnailed Zoom facial expression failed to convey this on a recent panel, I would like to take the opportunity to express my great skepticism that we will solve our environmental problems by putting data centres in space or on the moon.
This is just to say, I'm looking forward to RIPCorp's run in the next few years...
lol get their asses
My new article on Canada's recent AI strategy consultation. Lightning-fast engagement, dubious data protection measures, black box analysis, & AI-generated summaries from made-in-USA LLMs are not a winning strategy for building public trust
