I recently noticed that one of our cats makes a yipping noise every time she jumps, whether she's jumping onto something or off of it. It’s almost as if she’s bracing herself for impact. Does anyone else have a cat that does this?😻
Hi, I am teaching an intro to new media art class next term that can count towards the art gen ed requirement at my university and attracts many Econ majors. *I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for short readings (20 pages or less) on the economics of art, particularly digital art.*

NEW: xAI's Grok chatbot readily generated in-depth stalking instructions, down to lists of spyware apps + install ideas.
Grok also drafted plans for surveilling + approaching real people, even sharing links to real locations where it said we could "stake out" a celeb.

Classic bad collaboration
In a blockbuster collaboration that literally no one on Earth wanted, Madonna partnered with Beeple to produce a series of NFTs starring a digitized version of herself graphically birthing things out of her digital vagina.
Madonna’s NFT Collab With Beeple Is a Matryoshka of Vagina Horrors
Can’t Madonna just donate to charity without making everyone look at a 3D scan of her vagina?

Gave an alum talk and game workshop the last two days at my Alma mater, and it’s a feeling I can’t explain to be back here teaching and talking about what I’ve done since I graduated a decade ago.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

It took thieves only seven minutes to walk out of the Louvre with France’s crown jewels, faster than it takes to catch the next train after missing it on your morning commute. And while the museum is at a standstill, the online discourse flows without restraint.
The Louvre Was Robbed, But the Memes Stole the Show
Digital commentators wasted no time making Pink Panther jokes and digs at President Macron as the brazen robbery gets absorbed into the online discourse.

I interviewed Paulina Borsook, who warned of tech culture's toxic underbelly over 30 years ago.
She wrote a prescient and scathing book, "Cyberselfish."
It tanked her career, but a new generation is discovering her work as tech fascism tries to kill democracy 👇
