๐Ÿ‘€ Over the last few months, Iโ€™ve been working with the terrific triumvirate @spparkle.bsky.social, @emiliekmmurphy.bsky.social & Hannah Yip to set up โ€œSonance: A Journal of Early Modern Sound Studiesโ€, a diamond open access journal dedicated to historic sounds in all their wondrous & eclectic forms.

Hier hetzelfde. En dan moet die persoon het echt heel bont maken, maar laat absoluut weten hoe ik er zelf over denk (of het recht).

Reclame gaat over โ€˜polarisatieโ€™ en dat links en rechts elkaar moeten vasthouden, ofzo. Maar gaat mijlenver voorbij aan waar rechts zich op dit moment bevindt op het politieke spectrum: #extreemrechts

Oneindige haat voor die nieuwe Sire-reclame.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Hello Bluesky! My new book, THE FIREARM REVOLUTION, is out on 14 April. Itโ€™s about how a new technology changed society, and how hard it was to control. Hereโ€™s a little thread of whatโ€™s inside:

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡นโš–The Italian government seeks to hold a referendum on reforming the judiciary. What is at stake? Proponents say it's a technical reform that will address persistent issues with the organisation of Italian judges and prosecutors. Detractors point to a power grab. What's the deal here? 1/

Humanists need to lean into the fact that the robots cannot do what we teach: which is teach a person how to think critically, how to read closely, how to separate fact from fiction, how to see and understand the world. AI can write a B paper but it cannot transform a personโ€™s way of thinking.
