exactly what I hope for too! my favorite pro-radio slogan is to point out that unlike wired networks that require the resources of nations and/or global corporations, the electromagnetic spectrum is a natural resource whose potentiality lies around all of us, at all times, like air #othernetworks

Skrota idealet om excellens i forskning SVEN ANDERS JOHANSSON Vad får vi för pengarna – Macchiarini-skandalen?

Det enda jag vill lägga till det här är alla hundratusentals (som regel obetalda övertids-)timmar forskare/universitetslärare i dag lägger på att skriva och bedöma ansökningar som ändå inte får några forskningsmedel.

Jeffrey Epstein's 4chan Plan The sex-trafficker’s fingerprints are all over the early rise of the alt-right and the far-right movements that would follow, new documents reveal

Are the internet's far-right conspiracists useful pawns of Epstein and his network?

I dig into Epstein's meeting with the founder of 4chan and the political project that followed for @bylinetimes.bsky.social

US government to fund Maga-aligned think-tanks and charities in Europe State department grants to spread ‘American values’ are part of Washington’s 250th anniversary celebrations

This is the real culture war. Implementing its National Security Strategy the US govt. will directly fund political groups in U.K./Europe to oppose regulation of digital media (online safety act, digital services act etc.). Nationalists ensuring our political, intellectual & cultural subordination.

Platform regulation is the decisive political conflict of the next ten years.

THIS THIS THIS. ALL OF THIS

THIS is why faculty resist technological strategies for teaching. There is no engaging with Edtech without this context

Swedes can’t handle the pressure. Isak looks much the same in Pool. They haven’t impressed in our national team either lately

Those injuries in the defensive line seems to be piling up. Maybe they will have to play Merino there eventually? Then Viktor might be the only alternative for the 9

Läste den här och tänkte på fenomenet att avkräva andra människor hopp och tro. Och hur det nog handlar om obehaget det väcker hos den som avkräver att möta någon som inte har hoppet kvar. Som att vi är oförmögna att stå ut i den råa känslan av att inte längre tro. Men hopp krävs inte för handling.

So happy for Mjällby. They’ve been incredible all season. I want to think that the rules in Swedish football concerning majority ownership by the fans, is part of what still makes it possible for any club to compete.

The Ultimate Pilgrimage for the Middle-Aged Skateboarder

Great story about cultural heritage and place as being something more than just location. How parts of an iconic Philly skate spot moved across the Atlantic to Malmö, Sweden.

organized through U. of Minnesota “a campaign called ‘Save Our Signs’.. ask[s] the public to take photos of existing content at national parks and upload it. The group is using those images to build a public archive before any materials may be altered. So far, it has more than 800 submissions”

A new documentary looks at Supreme and the rise of NYC’s skateboarding scene The city’s original influencers were its ‘90’s skateboarders.

"It’s fortunate for someone who's trying to make a film, because skaters, in a lot of ways, were trailblazers. They had cameras [+ they recorded their friends doing tricks]... When you think about it, they were the original content creators."

(wish they'd acknowledged pre-Supreme 🛹 history)

The ancient sophists’ sense of the value of fronesis in public discourse is perhaps what we need more of, not less, in a time of instrumentalisation and machined knowledge.

Critical humanities discourse on AI will be doomed if it does not come up with better metaphors. Corporate AI is not a «cognitive entity» or some «other intelligence». It's a political project and a system of surveillance, extraction & exploitation

The question is, which university in Europe will set up the Institute for Social Research first for the scholars fleeing from the US? - like the US did for the scholars escaping from fascism in Europe in the 1930s and 40s.

Besides consistency in mobilizing crowds for rallies, I guess there would also have to be institutional changes if they can win the next election, for Mouffe to be proven right. Also feel that Borriello and Jäger’s question about membership is relevant in this context.

It’s wild that the most successful ‘burn it all down’ political movement in recent history is led by people who have become wealthy beyond their dreams within the system they want to destroy.
