Hermeneutic of Suspicion incredible name for a harsh noise act
i'm sorry i can't get over HERMENEUTIC OF SUSPICION
bc i said: it leaves out information that contradicts its cute claims, it deliberately misleads, it constructs false equivalences thru begging the question, it doesn't seek input from experts

a huge amount of the harm caused by this tech and the hype and mythology surrounding it is because of its interface rather than its underlying capabilities. these things should not have a UI that pretends it is a person

About those electricity poles in Bad Bunny’s halftime show — the song is “El Apagón” (“The Blackout”) and the official music video was released as a 23min documentary, subtitled “Aquí Vive Gente” (“People Live Here”).

contrary to popular belief, the Internet is not a telecom center, but a celestial wellspring at a critical Ley line intersection. discovered some time in the 1960s, humans first alloyed manually, then built increasingly complex æromancy machines to move "data", a form of elemental energy, in & out

shot a man in reno just to increase the murder rate for the reno metro area as part of a longterm plan to humiliate the newly elected sheriff who was my boyhood companion until our paths were crossed by a flamehaired girl who laughed like the dawn and how we sparred for her favor until the ague came

"desocialization" (like "social deskilling") is a good term for what was once talked about in terms of "social graph" vs. "interest graph," or of "algorithmic recommendation"

a reminder that this is a chemical weapon so vile it is banned in actual warfare. awful stuff
ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
ICE is afraid of children protesting
“Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”
