Genuinely baffled by people who sincerely believe that being against AI data center development means you're a NIMBY. Might as well call the Standing Rock protesters NIMBYs too. A data center is not a house or park. It doesn't improve the community. It's purely infrastructure for extracting value.

ROTBOTS invites artists & critical makers to build content machines that don't optimize labor, but disrupt it. @lav.io @tega.bsky.social @realclusterfuck.bsky.social @iocose.bsky.social @bitnik.bsky.social @networked.work

The New School was founded by Columbia University professors who wanted a university run by the faculty with minimal administration. For over 100 years it has been a unique institution with progressive values and incredible students and faculty from Ai Weiwei to Hannah Arendt. We are devastated.
The New School AAUP@newschoolaaup.bsky.social · 8mo agoLast week, the New School issued voluntary separation & early retirement offers to 40% of the full-time faculty & the majority of non-union staff. These cuts to the bone are an ideological attempt to decimate historic spaces of critical inquiry & social justice. Share our statement tr.ee/qQBIDCpIuj

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

I find this collaborative approach to urban wildlife very sweet somehow, even though it is transactional and involving crows into our systems of exchange. Like, yes, give them snacks. Share resources, collaborate, we are already so over-involved in their futures www.theguardian.com/environment/...
