Helloooo! Here's a flighty lil' gif I actually made myself last autumn... I was inviting friends to come and fly kites with me. Perhaps starting off here is something like that. Blessings for the timeline (do we still say that on this platform?) 🦋

A marathon day spent in NFT1 yesterday for the Laura Mulvey Symposium at BFI Southbank, really great set of panels, and Laura being impressive as ever - in opening conversation with Oliver Fuke and later with closing remarks, then again introducing her film with Peter Wollen, The Bad Sister.

Over on other channels I've announced my first peer review journal article. Seeing the finished article as a downloadable pdf it dawned on me how it actually feels to not only write in a personal capacity academically but also to put it out there.

This contribution to the volume of human misery is yet another policy from Labour based on a false premise, in this case that refugees are overly attracted to Britain. It will increase bureaucratic limbo, thus making worse the problem of "cohesion" it purports to solve.

this is a basically undeniable take when reading robots in terms of their origin in Karel Čapek's play R.U.R.
really should get around to writing my take that "AI uprising/robot uprising" fiction is just barely sublimated fear of domestic slave revolt
It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

Brace yourself if you have never come across the details of Pier Paolo Pasolini's brutal murder before... around midnight on 2 November 1975. 50 years ago today on the outskirts of Rome. Olivia Laing has centred her new novel, The Silver Book, around the making of Pasolini's final film, Salò (1975).
What did Pasolini know? Fifty years after his brutal murder, the director’s vision of fascism is more urgent than ever

With mystery still surrounding Pier Paolo Pasolini’s death, the poet and film-maker’s warnings of corruption and rising totalitarianism offer a chilling message for our times

I shared Cane's impulse to go offline and read Diane Di Prima at points around the US election cycle. In this wholly different time since Di Prima was writing, Cane's grapplings with 'Di's' poetic revolutionary mode of address are excellent. Useful responses to think about, in the form of new poems.
