  1. "Ruin porn is a war on memory, dislocating the political dynamics of ruin in favor of momentary sensations." http://bit.ly/8OJCqE
  2. @CirculatingLib Boom boom.
  3. Where does genre end and platform begin?
  4. @annahm Depends on what "sensory" means. Anne Cranny-Francis' research on the cultural aspects of engineering haptic technologies?
  5. @tom_cho FUCK YEAH!

  7. Also, by "movements", I mean emerging practices that take on a consistency and reflexivity, not *necessarily* a nameable "Teh XYZ Movement".
  8. Rights have always been the precipitate that results from the *movements* that recompose society (by breaking and forming various bonds).
  9. Freedom as the frictional PRACTICE of unfolding spaces for/by social flows/movements.
  10. @katecrawford This is why the term needs to be broken out of those one-dimensional registers.
  11. It's a good time to elaborate concepts of freedom that are beholden to neither statism nor libertarian fantasies.
  12. RT @ChasLicc: Some menu design tricks to push you towards higher-profit orders http://bit.ly/76FCI9 (via @tammois) — I love evil typography.

  15. @tammois Interested to see what that button would actually do.
  16. I remember all of this being around in 2002. Damn.
  17. Indymedia was also on the bleeding edge of audioblogging, with people at protests phoning in reports that were instantly posted as MP3s.
  18. Very early this decade, for example, Indymedia basically invented the "live protest backchannel" via something very much like Twitter.
  19. Contemporary radical Google Maps mashups recall some interesting questions about innovation and activism in the wake of dotcommery.
  20. Gets funnier, with an augmented reality view of occupations on the iPhone: http://bit.ly/82ZRRI. "Declare your solidarity" button: 4REALZ?
