Raoul Vaneigem—Situationist, author, and lifelong aspiring revolutionary—has passed away at the age of 92. "Let ten people meet who are resolved on the lightning of violence rather than the long agony of survival; from this moment, despair ends and tactics begin." —The Revolution of Everyday Life

"Les stupides résurgences du nationalisme et des religions ne sont que l'écume dérisoire du vrai danger : l'acquiescement suicidaire au sort qui nous est fait et par lequel une économie en dépérissement nous enjoint de dépérir avec elle." (1996) Toujours d'actualité.

This reddit thread about "surreal old photos from nothing" is a great reminder that AI are interpolatable archives which form attractor basins of compressed "blurry JPGs of the web" which you can shove around and blend into each other. www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/co...
