this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

I set out to complete every Cronenberg movie this year to answer a simple question: is this guy a good director? I have three left and I’m still befuddled.

Our digital repositories team spends a great deal of their time now simply protecting our commoned public digital resources from bots. This insatiable, aimless, destructive desire to excrete novel slop is impeding our access to — and even damaging — our cultural heritage + vetted public knowledge.
'“I don't think that people appreciate how few people are working to keep these collections online, even at huge institutions,” Weinberg told me. “It's usually an incredibly small team, one person, half a person, half a person, plus, like their web person who is sympathetic to what's going on.'
AI Scraping Bots Are Breaking Open Libraries, Archives, and Museums
"This is a moment where that community feels collectively under threat and isn't sure what the process is for solving the problem.”

Tomorrow at 9am! Come for the zine stay for a bunch of lovely talks! #ica25
If you're gonna be at ICA in a few weeks I'll be here talking about why videogame controllers are dildos. (I'll also have zines if you're around and aren't able to make the talk!) #ica25
More at #ICA25? Youbetcha. We'll have a high-density session on counter and counter-culture on Monday 16 June, 9am in Capitol 4. These are great sessions, because they feature several "quick pitches" from scholars, meant to drive further conversation at @icahdq.bsky.social and beyond. C'mon by!
