Cover of Camera Geologica: An Elemental History of Photography by Siobhan Angus. The cover is an abstract, black and gray image, with granular detailing that gives the cover a distinct texture visually. The title is depicted in big, skinny, capital letters that take up the majority of the cover space.

I’ve been struck by how the British far right is using deepfake technology — less to deceive about specific events, more to tap into fascistic affects & desires. This is really frightening.

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Nine years after winning the country’s top book prize, she returns with a stirring new novel In “The Book of Records,” the outspoken author moves between centuries and perspectives – past and imagined futures – in a prismatic attempt to unearth the very root of thinking.

“I believe the world we want starts at this moment, not tomorrow. It is being created by every single act, every decision, we make.”

It’s not a matter of choosing between nuclear and ground water. You could also choose to regulate AI, stop asserting its “inevitability” everywhere from primary school to the SSA, and minimize the need for such energy-intensive infrastructure
