RE: https://halo.nu/@theguardian_world_news/116992487516204161 It's Karma Chameleon changes colours depending on the chromatic choices of power. Another that can go into the same oblivion of Nick Cave, Radiohead, and so on. Remember, nobody is entitled your fandom, let alone your money, even less your ear. Their power come from you, & when we boycott them they go on a crybaby tantrum because they're power-hungry. They're rich enough to make good until they die even with the wh...

I find particularly curious that the call &quot;let&#39;s free technology&quot; comes from the same person who wrote that &quot;information doesn&#39;t want to be free&quot;, arguing exactly that &#39;wants&#39; and &#39;freedom&#39; are a human thing, and &#39;information&#39; isn&#39;t a being, therefore it cannot want anything and has no concept of &#39;freedom&#39; Via @tante https://tante.cc/2026/02/20/acting-ethical-in-an-imper...

I know the world might be ending in few hours, but Witch Hat Atelier anime is now finally live. The manga is so far a jewel of art, storytelling, and world-building, exploring magic (equivalent of our technology), ethics, friendships, power structure, inequalities, and the interrelations between the personal and the political. It&#39;s amazingly inclusive and extremely collaborative. Really worth your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1reryPOMX0 #TongariBushi #WitchHatAtelier #Anime...

Yesterday has been a great day: first, the referendum in Italy, then this landed in my inbox: &quot;Proceedings Cumulus Nantes 2025 NOW ONLINE&quot;. I have a short paper in it about a topic I hold dear: Ethics. The title is &quot;Information as an Experience: A Visual Design Approach to Ethics for Building Relationships between Researchers and Participants&quot; and it&#39;s about design, research, and what &quot;getting informed&quot; actually means. A 🧵 #Publi...

&quot;“Historically, every US‑driven energy shock has been followed by a surge in new drilling, new LNG terminals and new fossil‑fuel infrastructure. This war risks hard‑wiring another generation of carbon dependence. “This is not a war for security. It’s a war for the political economy of fossil fuels – and the people paying the price are Iranian civilians and working‑class communities around the world.”&quot; https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/21/middle-east-iran-conflict-env...
