In fact, Gaza isn't even the worst military atrocity happening *right now* - Sudan takes that dubious honor. Yet it's Israel and only Israel that gets routinely compared to Nazis - so ask yourself why it is so and how it's not antisemitic.

6 million jews were killed in the Holocaust; 2/3 of the whole jewish population of Europe. Israel's campaign in Gaza, as abhorrent as it is (and don't get me wrong, I'm not defending it), doesn't even begin to compare - neither in absolute, nor in relative terms. Not that it should be a competition.

$1.5 Billion AI Company That Reportedly Used No Actual AI Goes Belly Up The website for Builder.ai says, "We believe the power of software can unlock every human’s potential." Unfortunately, that credo apparently didn't work

Life imitating art. In this case, AI art.

No they're not. I know this comparison is very en vogue in certain circles, but it's not even close. Not to mention that it has a very clearly antisemitic subtext.

(no copyeditor worth their salt would approve of this post because it's ambiguous whether "that" refers to "flaws" or to "writing")

Using the services of a professional copyeditor is necessary to identify the flaws in your writing that nobody except professional copyeditors gives a damn about.

If I had a dollar each time that a symbolic head of state, whose position is a vestige of the medieval world order, dies after meeting a right-wind populist...

The queen died after meeting with Liz Truss.
The pope died after meeting with JD Vance.
Anyone still has any doubts that right-wing populism is deadly?

This comes full circle with writers like Kodwo Eshun and Sadie Plant, who tend to take on a popular writing style, but end right back in the wonderful realm of “the obscure, the opaque, the impenetrable.”

3,5 years and 2 world orders ago, we have announced an open call for the special issue of Journal of Sonic Studies on "Sound in the (Post-)Soviet Realm".
Today the issue is finally online: www.researchcatalogue.net/view/558606/...
Huge thanks and congratulations to all the authors and the JSS team!

Jennifer Walshe: OpenAI’s short story about grief has critics in floods of tears or outrage. They’re all missing the point Judging this story as I’d judge a short story published in The Stinging Fly or the Winter Papers is the wrong approach to take. Reading AI-generated stories demands a new type of literacy

I wrote a piece for @irishtimes.com about OpenAI’s short story. I feel if we don’t make a concerted effort as humans to help people of all ages gain literacy around AI-generated content, we have no chance at being able to have a consensus reality. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

One year ago today we performed "morning songs" with @sofia-borges.bsky.social, @nokdk.bsky.social, Theda Weber-Lucks and Werner Dafeldecker at the Berlin School of Sound.
The video documentation is still being edited, but we'll get there eventually😅

Well said!
👏👏👏

Is it me of have sound studies been going out of vogue lately?
Like, where are the conferences? Where are the book reviews (I don't think even the Oxford Handbook of Sound Art got any) Where is the discourse?

I wonder if people who claimed that Putin has had "legitimate security concerns" in Ukraine are finding Trump's "security concerns" in Canada and Greenland equally legitimate... 🤔
