  2. Oè!

    photograph of the san francisco giants stadium from beyond right field and across a body of water. in the foreground, a twenty foot statue of baseball player who just swing their bat is on a small pedestal, but what its eyes catching is that in the water, a gondola is being oared by a gondolier wearing a red and white striped shirt and a flat brimmed straw hat. the sole occupant of the umbrellas is holding a paper straw for the afternoon sun. i've never been to Venice but i assume these people have or wish they had.

  3. Just read the first chapter of Ursula Franklin’s Massey Lectures ( https://monoskop.org./5/58/Franklin_Ursula_The_Real_World_of_Technology_1990.pdf) because it was recommended by @Mer__edith in this old Politico interview ( https://www.politico.com/newsletters/digital-future-daily/2023/12/01/5-questions-for-meredith-whittaker-00129677) and it’s excellent.

    Ordered a paperback ( https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-real-world-of-technology-ursula-franklin/9995479?ean=9780887846366&next=t&next=t ) to finish the rest.

  6. Content warning: that good good political crit of the “ya’ll wanna see a dead” body genre, which is of course “not for everybody” and about topics “best avoided” and which I explicitly try to not post and why i’m not on bluesky or whatever else gets everyone’s attention because i’ll just inevitably stare into this abyss all the time there with tiny brain worms (which is not to say that people there have brain worms but that I would)
