On the Radical Possibilities of Carbon Sequestration Turning climate lemons into lemoncello

"...even if we stopped burning fossil fuels this very minute, we would not want to stay at today’s 425.48 ppm of atmospheric CO2 because it’s not as favorable for human life as the pre-industrial concentration of 280 ppm."

Wim Wenders's incredible documentary on Anselm Kiefer is now playing in the Criterion Channel in the US. Won't be as breathtaking as the 3D version but it is still very much worth seeing. www.criterionchannel.com/anselm

Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Envelopes Addressed and Mailed by Type [and Graphic] Designers at Katherine Small Gallery — a lovely little flat-file exhibition

reading massumi is assuring, maybe my first book wasn’t that bad

so my conclusion is that this album is pretty good. 7/18 plus selfish single which was a banger !

basically hits need to have “current” sounds + predictable notes suddenly turned unpredictable (rendered possible by the vocalist’s talent)

Wouldn't it be great if the rise of AI were to lead social science to place more emphasis on expressive and creative academic writing, rather than the formulaic kind of language writing that AI can mimic quite easily.

you would hate it if someone else were to speak on your behalf, if it’s about you and what you care about

why would you want now “something” to be speaking on your behalf, as if what you express has nothing to do with how you insert yourself in the world?

i honestly think it’s interesting that computers and robots are smart and write better than us and maybe they’re useful in some settings but language is about expression & the way you do it is an art

AI focus group with students —honestly i wonder whether this is going to encourage its usage
“we can’t stop it now so let’s talk about “the right usage””—not so sure
