Something that boggles my mind a little is that in 1977 Fredric Jameson gave a series of lectures to 25 or so people in Minnesota & one of them had a cassette recorder. And this year we remastered those cassette tapes & around 14,000 people in 53 countries heard those lectures.

To propose that GenAI can compensate for "archival silences" perverts Trouillot's work. It's is a contradiction to say that a product whose logic exacerbates power imbalances--creating a most-likely guess based on the existing record--can restore absences that are the product of those imbalances.

What is Freeland's compensation scheme right now? An MP salary, a ministerial salary for the made-up position leveraging private capital for Ukraine, now CEO salary for the Rhodes Trust? Pretty sweet grift.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

New map produced by RTVE, Spanish national TV, of the 6000 mass graves in Spain. In the last 25 years some 17,000 bodies of men, women and children have been exhumed out of the ~120,000 dumped in mass unmarked graves by the Franco regime.
