Gaat publicatieplatform Substack ten onder aan zijn eigen succes?

Met veel bombarie werd Substack in 2017 gepresenteerd als rustpunt in de strijd om online-aandacht. Maar inmiddels lijkt het platform verdacht veel op de sociale media die het voorheen bekritiseerde.

"Meanwhile I was back in a corner laminating croissant dough by hand while nearby conference rooms discussed artificial intelligence with the confidence of a man who’s never been told no and the caution of a toddler approaching a puddle.

That’s the thing people don’t really understand about AI. It does not emerge from some neutral supercomputer vacuum. It emerges from offices. From meetings. From corporate hierarchies. From the same mediocre management structures and ego-driven cultures already running the rest of society"

The third author, Gabib Ismailov, was a local schoolteacher who had started collecting pictures of traditional tattoos in local villages.

Managed to obtain a copy of this book! Chenciner was a British ethnographer, and Magomedkhanov is a Dagestanian ethnograper and sociologist who also revived naturally dyed carpets in Dagestan. For this book they catalogued traditional tattoos, which turned out to be the key to interpreting the symbolism in textile and other decorative art forms from the region. #Caucasus #Dagestan #folkart #textileart #traditionaltattoos #ethnography

"[...] 37 handmade carpets and tapestries produced over nine months by six women weavers displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh, working from drawings made by the Armenian-Egyptian-Canadian artist Anna Boghiguian during her residency at AHA’s studio in July 2025." #weaving #caucasus #Armenia

A special lamp that casts an eerie green light into the world. Made from old computer parts, this lamp is meant to represent cybercrime. Virus-infected computers and stuff like that.

Runs with battery. One lamp is flickering as if it's broken, but I just used a "candle flash LED".

For sale! CHF 110.-

Finally mustered up the courage to try weaving with my own yarn. It looks a bit messy, but it feels pretty cool to be able to say I made a piece of textile from scratch entirely by hand, working together with nature to cultivate and process the flax - no machines, just manual tools, no pesticides, and no excessive amounts of water, no special chemicals to extract fibres - just moist, micro-organisms and careful observation. #1m2vlas #flax #weaving #bandweaving

After reading an interview with the author, I bought "How to kill a language" by Sophia Smith Galer. I must admit, it's starting off strong. #linguistics #language #multilingualism

Net "Frankenstein in Bagdad" van Ahmed Saadawi uitgelezen. Ik ben eraan begonnen n.a.v. een blog van @JonaLendering, en het heeft me niet teleurgesteld.
