@terrythethunder @Bosefina When I went to the MoMA with an art history PhD and a tech person, the PhD confessed “I secretly hate outsider art” and the tech person was super mad bc it was very gatekeeper-y. My hot take: tech people are ok with gatekeeping as long as they are the gatekeepers

My latest obsession is Keiga Kawahara botanical illustrations

@Bosefina @terrythethunder Another tech/art world ambiguous quote from a friend

What’s crazy is that this growth model doesn’t account for global warming. Their thesis was that even without massive ecological disruption, our economic system would collapse in the middle of the 21st century.

1972: an intl group of scientists published The Limits to Growth, a report detailing computer simulation outcomes of exponential growth on a resource-limited Earth. It was met with intense ridicule.

48 years later: oh shoot they were right lol. Fuck why'd we waste all that time?

Alright who wants to make this responsive slide deck tool with me

[Luke Luokun Cheng @LLUKECH]

@bvksn Finally, a revenue stream to support my art “career” 😂

[Luke Luokun Cheng @LLUKECH]

Late night product idea: responsive slide decks that look good on any device in any orientation. Think google slides but when viewed on a phone, it looks like a well-designed instagram story

When I read @noampomsky’s tweet about GPT-3 reviving her accelerationism

Seeing a bunch of beyonce deepfakes on my ig feed. Did somebody make a consumer facing app?

Too bad people love reading lists and hate reading

The best thing about this pandemic is that everybody has now watched avatar the last airbender, so I can finally unleash 15 years of supressed ATLA jokes

Pros and cons of living with #MECFS:

I would also love to hear what @SarahTaber_bww thinks of young professional urbanites moving to rural areas to do communal subsistence permaculture. And if that could somehow turn into indigenous reparations or a return of the land to the commons (?)

[Luke Luokun Cheng @LLUKECH]

A must read thread on food security and indigenous peoples’ mastery of ecosystem management

[Luke Luokun Cheng @LLUKECH]

@SarahTaber_bww What should i read to learn more about this?
