buttondown.email/perfectsenten this week in sentences: the assembling of machines, a frozen head, filled with amethyst, life without history, incredible, boundaries to disappear

the only voice on it at the moment is my own, but the memorial is designed to receive contributions from the world

https://contribute.gaza.memorial/

the idea is to record the names of the dead of gaza in all the voices and accents of the world. a small gesture of global solidarity with the oppressed in the face of zionism and the attempted erasure of Palestine.

if you feel moved to participate, the memorial will be more complete with your voice, and i would appreciate it greatly.

Editorial board calls for Biden to gracefully die in his sleep in one of those funny long sleeping caps while going "zzz-awoo"

I realize this paper topic is so so tiny, the epitome of a niche academic question, but it truly blows my mind that everyone knows about the rocks full of blood in computers today and there's so little record or acknowledgement of the rocks full of blood that made computers possible. I wanted to fix that!

To be clear I mean no shade on Luke here, I met him and the rest of that art project in 2016 at a symposium thing in Boulder, seemed like a decent enough guy. Just, what a weird life to be leading
