Incredibly honored to be read so generously by @roguepages in this joint review of my and @awayandback's books! Commissioned by @LeahAtWhatPrice for @PublicBooks
Against the backlit glow of the screen, paper is emerging in all its strangeness as a compelling object of study.
@roguepages explores what we do with paper—and what it has done to us: buff.ly/3j9aIlr

At Cornell I met a student adjacent to the lefty/music scene who was building an autonomous drone startup. Asked him about it and he assured me it was just for search and rescue/disaster response. Earlier this year he sold it to a defense firm. They always sell to defense.
Purdue University's IDEAS Lab built an autonomous drone that tracks runners through dense forests completely without GPS or cloud networks.
By running 3D LiDAR mapping and obstacle-avoidance AI entirely on-chip, it can weave under tree canopies and predict target movement through blind spots in real time.
Massive implications for next-gen search & rescue and edge AI.
Big 10 research pioneering the next generation of murderous state violence!

The first tailgaters have arrived at American Family Field, 10 hours before Game 1. Not sure what took them so long.

The author is dead! (Crowd cheers) But the author function lives on (crowd boos) Rather than attributing the text to a single origin point, we as critics must map the complex web of institutions and power relations that constitute "authorship" (crowd yawns, disperses)

The US VP speaks with admiration about Putin—a murderer,a terrorist, and the biggest criminal in the world today, responsible for millions of people killed or maimed—instead of doing everything possible to bring this monster to justice and ensure he receives a fitting punishment

The “flying” Tesla is such a bleak symbol. A fake invention for a fake society that’s facing mounting real problems.
