There's this woman doing an absolutely wild social experiment on TikTok. She calls random US churches with the sound of a baby crying in the background, explain the baby hasn't eaten in over 12 hours, and asks for 1 bottle of baby formula. She has a public spreadsheet of how each one responded. 1/3

Funneling scholars into a few major platforms isn’t just annoying, it’s corrosive to intellectual freedom. Institutions should support researchers moving to more democratic and decentralized alternatives. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Science Must Decentralize
Knowledge production doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Every great scientific breakthrough is built on prior work, and an ongoing exchange with peers in the field. That’s why we need to address the threat

"Quantum" linoprint 70x100cm
The handprinting process is long and tiring, but the intant where the print reveals itself is always a particular moment that is worth the effort endured.
(I am starting to work on a new engraving with the time that summer outdoor activities are willing to give me)

All you're seeing is the end stage where individuals begin to accumulate enough wealth that the entire system of government becomes just another resource for purchase, at which point they can utilize far-right populism to maintain division and authoritarianism to further concentrate wealth & power.

Marx predicated all this in the 1800s. In order to sustain itself, capitalism must keep the workers divided, else risk them uniting against the capitalists. As resources become increasingly constrained due to hoarding, the discomfort of the workers becomes more extreme, thus so must the division.
No predictive model could foresee this degree of national self-sabotage – an act of willful decline that transcends political theory.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
