This day in history

I’m kickstarting the audiobook for “The Internet Con: How To Seize the Means of Computation,” a Big Tech disassembly manual to disenshittify the web and bring back the old, good internet. It’s a DRM-free book, which means Audible won’t carry it, so this crowdfunder is essential. Back now to get the audio, Verso hardcover and ebook:

We’ve been in our new apartment for just under four months now, and we finally got around to hanging our art. We have a few more scattered around the apartment and it feels good to bring in some of the things we love again. 

We have a painting of Stoya by Molly Crabapple above the TV and bookshelves and another painting by Alice of Alice’s Restaurant fame in the bedroom by the door. Photos by my dad from his days in the civil rights movement are by the window and we have a few more prints coming this week. 

It’s a good time of year to nest a bit, and the comfort of familiar things is well....comforting. 

I hope you’re doing alright on this rainy Monday morning. And I hope you also have things that make you smile.

Molly Crabapple Has Posted an Open Letter by 1,000 Cultural Luminaries Urging Publishers to Restrict the Use of ‘Vampirical’ A.I.-Generated Images

[azspot]

AI art generators are trained on enormous datasets, containing millions upon millions of copyrighted images, harvested without their creator’s knowledge, let alone compensation or consent. This is effectively the greatest art heist in history. Perpetrated by respectable-seeming corporate entities backed by Silicon Valley venture capital. It’s daylight robbery…
