Goodnight from Ashcourt Necropolis’ stone guardians, wary of further vandalism conducted under pretence of hunting the Iron-toothed Vampire. Goodnight from Liv Malin, increasingly convinced certain figures walk between the photos held in the Wyndham Archive. Goodnight from Hookland.

I had to blow up San Francisco to give it a future I wanted to live in. For @48hills.bsky.social I wrote about my new book Automatic Noodle, and how science fiction helps us resist the AI oligarchs who are stealing our city's future. 48hills.org/2025/07/stea...
Steal this future - 48 hills
We don't need to let the Big Tech oligarchs and creepy cyber-libertarians decide what city—and what kind of society—we want to live in.

It’s now been out for a while, but this was such a fun project with Vickie! The Promise of Cultural Geography. 86 entries, all between 1-1000 words, focusing on what, for them, is the promise of cultural geography. It’s open access, so please share!

If you're a social scientist who also claims to be a 'futurist', you're not a real social scientist. The grift of tech determinist 'consultancy' is getting worse. Seemingly no costs to bullshit and countless uncritical journalists to write it up. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Futurist Adam Dorr on how robots will take our jobs: ‘We don’t have long to get ready – it’s going to be tumultuous’
Researcher says tech could replace nearly all human labour within 20 years and societies urgently need to prepare
