A bestiary of cinematic technologies.
A change-ringing verse for the turning of the year.
The circling sea of faith & the energetic unrevealing cold.
A poem by Matthew Battles.
Vanessa Veselka tallies the wages of wage-slavery.
Pyres of code in the writeable sky.
At Words Without Borders, a folk-epic recipe.
Autumn and the quiet collision of species.
Omniveillance & iconicity.
First they come for your civil liberties; the books are an afterthought.
If we can make it there, we can make it anywhere.
Music for escaping the time to which it returns us.
Quinn Norton explains how Anonymous came for the lulz, & stayed to free us.
I am become John Galt, destroyer of worlds.
Machine, mind, and music.
A short film of beauty & buried assumptions.
Virtuosic mimicry meets techno-geek genius.
The history and power of the Occupy libraries.
All for the better, even in this broken world.
In hiking & poetry, choosing not to choose.
Occupy Wall Street and the ways of the wild.
As Ed Champion argues, it’s a great workplace novel.
Confronting death, it’s borders all the way down.
Shared bikes and the virtues of the commons.
