The achievement thus far is astonishing and historic, our architecture writes. Here’s an inside look at the rebuilding effort of the cathedral since the 2019 fire. nyti.ms/4ilgX4r

The ‘acoustic mirror’ (Guy Rosolato) is where the maternal voice forms a bridge between body and language, self and Other. It’s not just sound—it’s a first home for identity, holding us before words do.

A self-portrait is a trace, a reflection of a moment. But on social networks, it often becomes an empty surface, where the lived moment is erased, because the photo is taken only to be published. These photos are no longer a memory, they exist to be forgotten.

An acerbic critique of contemporary society, particularly American society: of beauty reduced to a commodity, of visceral fear and hatred in the face of the loss of one's own youth... A masterful portrayal by Demi Moore and a particularly effective direction by Coralie Fargeat.

Most excellent cover art (Insta: ninjajo_art) for my upcoming edited volume in the Digital Formations Series (Peter Lang). It brings together the work of 38 scholars from 12 countries--empiricists, engineers, ethicists, philosophers, rhetoricians, critical scholars--to unpack robot sociality.

So many folks haven’t clocked that there has been a seismic change in the landscape of social media. People don’t want an app that just advertises Mr Beast to them the same way they don’t want one that just yells the N-word at them while trying to convince you Trans folk are bad actually. We’re done
