Experimenting with Error: Dan Charnas and I talk about Dilla Time, Detroit, and black geographies. Thank you @antipodeonline.bsky.social for publishing our conversation!

Ruth Wilson Gilmore's definition of the prison-industrial complex (PIC) is so useful.
As Gilmore and Craig Gilmore note, equating industrial with profit can disappear the state, and "the outcome of capitalist activity stands in for the complicated relationships that enable or change that outcome."

Perfect. Frankenstein by @realgdt.bsky.social
1. the reinterpretation of Shelley is urgent, smart AF
2. the decisions hoisted on the monster are stunning
3. the attachments to modernity (empire and its racial-economic trappings) are quiet and cutting
4. Victor. Elizabeth.
5. setting, lighting.
