The Tesla driving woman is also responsible for getting me deep into this incredible SF title.I came here with a mission to get her to read more nonfiction but she has won the rounds of ‘omg you have to read this’. We have been reading together since we were 7 yrs old 🥹 ❤️

My childhood bff has had a Tesla for the past 5 yrs; it gave me a fieldwork vignette (serendipitously; nothing to do with me) but since then we have not talked about it because it’s just driving for now. When we turn onto the highway,her kids are ‘mama can we get on auto now’

There’s “Ai”, and then there’s the whole of German bureaucracy that cannot give you a useable, clickable, fill-able PDF form. I know they’re not the same thing but they actually are.

Every 10th participant in Davos(World Economic Forum) has arrived in a PRIVATE JET.
There will be loud doctrines and chest thumping around CLIMATE CHANGE at the forum.
Most assembled are largest emitters.
Bonhomie ensures no one will call out each other.
Party continues!

Happy Pongal, Lohri, Sankranti, Bihu weekend. I love that we have days of rituals associated with actively burning the past and turning our faces to a bounteous, sweet, golden future. Hope is dastardly-let’s do it!

Pls note, fellow olds: if you say you’re ‘from the 90s’ yoots will think you’re old but cool, as opposed to saying you’re ‘middle aged’; then they’ll just think you’re 90. #lifehacks

“Tech clearly has a role to play, but…evidence points to the need for collaboration across disciplines.. care-led approaches to developing technology, with the involvement of.. people” Great evidence verifying everything studies have said abt work&robots

Dear followers,
I should like you to know that on Boxing Day, in Rome, after taking a comfortable walk to the Piazza del Popolo, followed by a stroll through the Villa Borghese, and then back to the apartment, I had a fall.

Why is the NYT referring to him as Mr Lula? Shouldn’t it just be Lula or President Lula da Silva ?

Fantastic work by old friends, CAMP, Bombay Tilts Down. Cameras affixed to buildings in Parel and Worli and moving in precise pan shots afford a stunning view of the city and continue to complicate urban sous-sur-veillance. And with an excellent soundtrack. 💖💖💖

A clever little film by Ukrainian artist Mikola Ridnyi, Seacoast (2008), is shot on the Black Sea and layers images of jellyfish landing on the shore with the high-pitched whizzing sound of bombs dropping. Chilling. 💙💛

From the same Kallat-curated exhibition within #kochimuzirisbiennale is Kallat’s ‘Covering Letter’, a fog machine through which is projected the text of a letter from MK Gandhi to A Hitler, dated July 1939, starting and ending with the words ‘dear friend’ and ‘your friend’

Of the many wonderful things at the #kochimuzirisbiennale (this thread) I was touched to see this Homai Vyarawalla photo of the (hand) vote to partition the Indian subcontinent. Seen here, Nehru, slouching, hand raised. As part of Tangled Hierarchy 2 curated by Jitendra Kallat

Suganthi, who works taking care of my parents, asked me what a laptop is (in Tamizh). I say ‘ithu oru periya mobile phone’ 🥺😬 I am aware that I cannot talk about computation in one of my mother tongues, and that ‘mobile’ is synecdoche for computer/tation.

Year end greetings, Gute Rutsch! Here’s a “screenshot” from William Kentridge’s Oh To Believe In A Better World at the #kochimuzirisbiennale

In the taxonomy of /bHaKts), the beef-eating one is the worst of all, the hardest to engage. They’re rational, scientifically-minded, well-read and toxic. (But they’re still ?bhAktz& ) I know this bc I’m related to some of them.

Finally a conference that is about China and the South. You’d think the rest of the world had nothing to say about China, tech, and the internet given how much Northern anxiety dominates headspace and airtime
