Tracing twirls with ink on paper, twisting them, trying to draw meaning out of them, like blood out of stones.

@Haggis_UK That’s the sound of privilege.

@TheSaviour The other day I heard someone say the phrase “trying to cut babies in half since the Old Testament.” It resonated, personally.

@ElGanadorHenry A Trump nadie lo ha secuestrado, y seguro que ya se ha cagado encima más de diez veces el viejito ese…

@MasterChile_ @MrChuckD Sure, heroic. Or maybe the people who owned those records at a time at which they were hard to find and rather expensive were simply well off? And perhaps you are now retrospectively romanticing wealth? Food for thought.

@Ashhlo_ You just do not like having to give an honest answer to the question: you tunnel because otherwise you wouldn't win, even in an asymmetrical game in which you have it easier than survivors (assuming, of course, all players are at a similar level).

@RifleRivas I feel you, bro

@blgtylr Every book by Friedrich Kittler, Thomas W. Laqueur, and Tim Armstrong is brilliant. They are at the intersection between literary criticism and cultural history, I’d say.

@majaissokind @DeadbyDaylight I bet they’re relying on AI to make decisions regarding bans. And, as we all know, there is not much intelligence at this point in what we refer to as AI.

@adampollock I love that death metal band.

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.

@Rosenkrantz They should probably be donated to the Museum of Broken Relationships. It’s a thing.

Guardian headline today: Tesla to cut 14,000 jobs as Elon Musk bids to make it ‘lean, innovative and hungry’

Essentially, @elonmusk wants Tesla to be everything he is not.

@Rosenkrantz @PersonalRecords I had no idea that was common practice.

@Rosenkrantz @PersonalRecords "After all, it is no strange phenomenon for Western poets, from Ezra Pound to Ted Hughes, to hire a linguist or a literary scholar to compose a rough translation to then make an adaptation of the text" (from Mona Kareem's article)
