see the thing is my hate isn’t arbitrary it’s based on the material impacts of AI on the environment and the capitalist depletion of humanity’s soul, so 🤷‍♀️

There is research published on this topic, but it is purposely ignored by people who simply do not want their class interests threatened

Polar Pride Day at Scott Base 🏳️‍🌈

Today marked the fifth Polar Pride Day, which celebrates our LGBTQ+ community who contribute to polar science in Antarctica and the Arctic. We celebrated with a beautiful cake as the flag flew proudly.

every “traditional” social norm was invented by advertisers in 1957 and every “newfangled social phenomenon” has been around for 3000 years

Another good day to remind people that just because an academic is renowned for their work in social justice, antiracism, decolonisation, or equality, it does not mean they are invested in this work at a personal level. Some are very good at researching these topics. That is all.

Saw the most infantilising article begging Emma Stone to hop off the Lanthimos train as if she’s being forced to star in extremely acclaimed films where she gets to do things no other mainstream roles are offering to her currently

i find it interesting how a bunch of factors are coming together to gradually turn people against the concept of public domain, or even fair use parody laws, in a way that I've never really seen before

I love when you finally watch a classic movie, something you put off for ages because it’s almost cliché, and it turns out to be as good if not better than its reputation.

A tribute by Selina Tusitala Marsh to the late Caroline Sinavaiana-Gabbard: https://t.co/dT0Ba3OaiK

[Theodora Loos @TeddyLoos]

Sina was a gentle, brave and deeply inspiring soul. I cherish the time I was allowed to spend with her. A brilliant woman, a warm and supportive mentor and a true light in the darkness, Caroline Sinavaiana-Gabbard deserved the world. She is so, so missed. https://t.co/BB90lhtlPj

Reading "Doppelganger" by Naomi Klein and this page stopped me dead

Marx: "The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint ... etc., the more you save—the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour—your capital. 1/

On this day 13 September 1851 engravings of the Franklin Expedition daguerreotypes were published in the Illustrated London News (left), & on 18 Oct also in Gleason's Pictorial (right). They're turned into haunted dolls.

Thinking of these Hunter S. Thompson words again, which he wrote one week after 9/11, which basically called the 21st Century

My analysis of the Franklin Expedition daguerreotypes, plus an overview of all the different versions, side-by-sides, & the ILN and Gleason's Pictorial engravings.
