A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore a computer must never make a management decision.
Always a good time these days to repost this slide from an IBM internal presentation in 1979.

Very dystopian stuff:
Canadian political candidates are getting pitched on signing up their supporters for apps that scan social media for negative comments about them, use AI to come up with counternarratives then post AI-generated comments defending them from their real human supporters’ accounts

So, I've been reading stale "is [x industry] run by a gay mafia?" conspiracy theories in media for as long as I've been reading the papers
Really didn't see another one coming from Wired 🧵
I have to say, regardless of what she's said elsewhere, I am not pleased that McPherson's team promised to get back to us with answers and bailed. I don't pull "as the leading LGBTQ2S+ publication in Canada..." often, but I feel it here.

Und ,vielleicht‘ sollte mal jemand darüber schreiben, dass Druck auf Veranstalter*innen gemacht wird und es nicht nur bei Kritik in Texten bleibt. Zumal die Emma-Texte gegen andere Feministinnen mit Falschbehauptungen durchsetzt sind und das kein Journalismus mehr ist.

Der Screenshot zeigt folgenden Post von Patrick Kaczmarcyk: „Wie wollen wir zukünftigen Generationen eigentlich erklären, wie wir als Politik und Gesellschaft eine solch perverse Vermögensungleichheit erschaffen konnten?“
„Erschaffen“ ist das richtige Wort. Extreme #Ungleichheit ist kein Zufall, kein Naturgesetz. Sie wird erschaffen - by Design. #TaxTheRich @patrickkaczmarczyk.bsky.social

Dreaming Trans: Method, Sex, & the Unconscious with Prof Tobias Wiggins Session 1: T4T Methodologies - Mar 10, 4:30 – 6:30 Session 2: Desire Lines: Trans//Sexuality - Mar 24, 5:30 – 8:00 Session 3: Transphobic Countertransference - Apr 7, 4:30 – 6:30 Location: TBA Trans is a fever dream. Erupting at the edges of overheated fantasy, in contemporary scenes of moral panic the figure of the trans//sexual haunts the collective psyche, used as a political scapegoat or release valve for anxieties about sex, embodiment, and cohesion of the nation-state. What does it mean to think with trans livability amongst a social imaginary that insists, if not simply on trans destruction, then on their absorption of antagonisms and disavowed affects? Further, if we take seriously the psychoanalytic dream’s capacity to compromise, to wish, to overdetermine, and to leak jouissance, then what becomes possible for the trans dreamer within this field? Our conversations will unfold across three sites of inquiry, each holding the tension between trans-fantasy and the political fantasy of transness. The first seminar traverses possibilities in T4T methodologies, or trans-specific approaches to research. The second seminar examines transmasculine sexuality in film, the archive, and the bathhouse with a screening and discussion of the hybrid film Desire Lines (2024). The third seminar turns to the unconscious life of transphobia through an examination of transphobic countertransference. By thinking trans together, this participatory series insists on opposing cisteria through the sustained practice of collective psychic movement and play. Open to all; particularly welcoming 2-Spirit, trans, nonbinary, & gender-nonconforming people; scholars in Transgender Studies; those interested in psychoanalysis; faculty; graduate students; & advanced undergraduate students. Registration limited to participants who commit to completing the assigned readings in advance and to attending all sessions in person.
My colleague Tobias Wiggins is holding this amazing seminar series on trans methodologies at McGill! Please spread the word!

The price of paper has been going up every year & publishers have been shrinking fonts on the page to cram as much in. It's exhausting reading tiny type. Let's not forget accessibility implications either.
