This is a very interesting read, and far more than just an average anti-tech rant (not like there's anything wrong with anti-tech rants, we need more of those, too). www.gurwinder.blog/p/how-social...

Data centers are the new sacrifice zones
Today, more than 90 percent of residents living in Boxtown’s ZIP code are Black, with a median household income of $36,000, according to the Census Bureau. It’s also home to more than 17 industrial facilities — some of which share an industrial park with xAI — that release enough toxic pollution to require registration with EPA’s Toxics Release Inventory.

“I can’t breathe at home, it smells like gas outside,” Boxtown resident Alexis Humphreys said through tears, holding up her asthma inhaler during a public hearing about the turbines last Friday. “How come I can’t breathe at home and y’all get to breathe at home?”

An interesting take on the monotone of the story structure. Some interesting points (franchises as a destruction of stories) and some clichés, too (the story is patriarchal), but a great read overall! aeon.co/essays/why-d...

Tak schválně, jaký tady bude mít text Timothyho Snydera dosah v češtině, když se Muskovi na Twitteru nelíbil anglicky.

A new paper out! Stela Houserová & myself were exploring the attractiveness of rural artist residencies. We found out it's all about freedom, but what does freedom mean? Big questions and some answers here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kPbd2eyKF... #sociology #rurality #arts

“Nothing is more false than the antimony that people have often wished to establish between the authority of rules and the freedom of the individual. Liberty (by which we mean a just liberty, one for which society is duty bound to enforce respect) is itself the product of a set of rules.”
