Crawford's new essay in e-flux offers the best summary of the monstrous absurdity of contemporary AI that I've read in a long time.

(via @jonnyjjt.bsky.social)

www.e-flux.com/architecture...

The expansion of computational capital reproduces the core-periphery dynamics of earlier empires—extracting from the Global South to enrich the North—while excavating billions of years in geological time to increase the speed of algorithmic convenience by milliseconds. After feeding at this planetary scale, the industrial beast now releases a tide of slop.

Glitch environmentalism - Naomi Parker, Adam Searle, Jonathon Turnbull, 2025

Birding is a form of wildlife recreation that often involves exclusive communities and spaces, where both access and practice are policed along hegemonic lines....

🦉 Glitch Environmentalism 🦉

In our new paper, Naomi Parker, @admsrl.bsky.social & I explore glitches in the birding community that arose in the Self-Isolating Bird Club

We theorise glitch environmentalism to understand how transitory glitches can gain duration

Looking back on the Nature Buffering exhibition curated with my Digital Ecologies MSc students at @oxfordgeography.bsky.social a couple of weeks ago.

Is this the beginning of a new regime of generic urban ambient imagery setting the 'mood' of everyday life in cities, not unlike what stock photography has been doing? That's something I've written about in this OA book edited by the brilliant @profgillian.bsky.social: www.aup.nl/en/book/9789...

Setting aside some time to read this today - obviously because of its intellectual merit, but also because so many of these authors/editors have been integral to my 'journey' as an ECR geographer! Great people producing a great book - massive congrats to all!
