"To be beautiful is to be a seashell, so open that all the oceans and the fluids of the earth, of the body, are heard through you. Openness so open that it turns itself inside out and makes a snail-shaped labyrinth that leads to the future.”

Greta Thunberg is held prisoner by Israel at a jail in the Negev. Read what Sweden’s embassy in Israel reports are the conditions of her detention ⬇️

Now just imagine: if Israel treats a world-famous Swedish activist this way, how badly are its prisons abusing Palestinians?

Stop this sadistic murder machine called Israil!
Thousands of Palestinian kids and now tortures done
to Greta Thurnberg...

Also I couldn't help crying, raging when Sumud people reading the blood written names on the walls of the jail;
- the kids' names written with Palestinian mother's blood -

According to this headline it would seem like Greta had to share an apartment with Nick Mullen, when the article itself says Greta was physically beaten and tortured before being forced to “kiss” an Israeli flag.

Greta Thunberg says she is being detained by Israel in cell ‘infested with bedbugs’

Exclusive: Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water Environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg has told Swedish officials she is being subjected to harsh treatment in Israeli custody after her detention and removal from a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, according to correspondence seen by the Guardian. According to the correspondence, Israeli forces are also reported by another detainee to have taken photographs where Thunberg was allegedly forced to hold flags. The identity of the flags are unknown. Continue reading...

Hadn't seen this "Cartography of Generative AI" before. From Estampa, a collective of programmers, filmmakers and researchers working in the fields of audiovisual media and digital environments: cartography-of-generative-ai.net

“Cartography of Generative AI (2024)” shows a sprawling, diagrammatic ecosystem of how generative AI is produced and maintained. The background is light pink with turquoise and yellow highlights. The left side has a turquoise vertical sidebar with labeled sections such as AI imaginaries, Critical expertise, Data sciences, Silicon Valley, and AI harms.

The main diagram maps the flow of generative AI development from top to bottom:

Top left: A globe icon with arrows represents global energy consumption, linked to servers and calculation power (chips, GPUs, and companies like TSMC).

Top center: Rows of red server racks show data centers, connected to big data platforms and pipelines of training data (shown as orange blocks).

Top right: Yellow stacks and schematic diagrams depict the supply chain of raw materials (e.g., cobalt, lithium) and scenes of mining.

Upper right corner: A vignette labeled digital colonialism shows resource extraction sites and cables crossing oceans.

Middle section:

Blue isometric office-like spaces labeled AI start-ups and Silicon Valley venture capital, with tiny illustrated workers at desks, computers, and whiteboards.

Orange and yellow arrows and blocks represent the movement of datasets, training, and alignment processes.

A section labeled human labour shows rows of workers annotating data.

Lower section:

Gridded platforms in orange and yellow depict data extraction from the internet—social media, images, sound, text—and web scraping from sources like Wikipedia, Reddit, Flickr, YouTube.

Groups of small figures interact with large wireframe cube models labeled generative AI engines.

Other vignettes show AI products (like chatbots), digital gig work, and consumer use.

Far right:

Layers of stacked chips show advanced chip production and global supply chains.

A blue network node diagram illustrates the infrastructure economy behind AI technologies.

Boxes at the bottom describe research and governance structures.

and singing lullabies...
as I never knew a one correctly, I was always cutting up and making up lullabies for and w them. (making nomeaning sounds mutually and creating a new emotional language.)
that was the part just after the story session.
I miss that too. 🫠

"Şeylerdeki şeyler işte - sokaklardaki insanlar görmüyorlar beni. Oysa günlerdir tutkularım perçemlerimde dolaşıyorum.

Suç bütün bütün perçemlerimdeydi.
Onlar böylesi kıvrılmasalar asmıyacaktım
tutkularımı uçlarına, asamıyacaktım."

MOLECULAR RED, 2015. Main thesis was that far from a Cold War victory, the collapse of the USSR prefigures the collapse of the USA.

Love is contraband in Hell,
cause love is an acid
that eats away bars.

But you, me, and tomorrow
hold hands and make vows
that struggle will multiply.

The hacksaw has two blades.

The shotgun has two barrels.

We are pregnant with freedom.

We are a conspiracy.

—Assata Shakur, Love

the gift of cultural specificity and frankly creative genius we have been given via exclusion is one that allows us to craft social spaces and art forms that make exclusivity a virtue, and flip the script of capitalist exclusivity by not tying it to wealth. there's a reason minorities invent cool
