Lesen ist langsam. Lesen braucht Zeit. Lesen verwandelt.
Genau deshalb ist es heute radikaler als Schreiben.

I am looking for the original Italian text of Italo Calvino’s Cibernetica e fantasmi. Appunti sulla narrativa come processo combinatorio. So far, I only managed to find its English translation, “Cybernetics and Ghosts”.
Can someone help me find it?

I can't tell you how much I loved this 6 hour video essay on GamerGate from a leftist POV. My only gripe is her constant joking that Millennials are old now so we are out of touch, blah blah blah.

Zohran Mamdani majored in Africana Studies at Bowdoin College in Maine, at the time Peter Coviello taught the subject there, though he can't remember if New York City's Mayor-elect was his student or not. For LitHub, he explains how he was approached by a New York Times reporter to speak about Mamdani but didn't, because the writer missed the appointment, and what he thinks of the eventual piece, "a wreck, but of a form so pure, so purely Timesian, you almost have to admire it."

"In this, I share tech journalist and Bluesky board member Mike Masnick’s informed belief that global centralized moderation is a dead end. And if centralized moderation isn’t a plausible way forward, then experimentation toward genuinely community-led governance of decentralized networks is necessary."

I missed last month's #solarpunk essay from @AndrewDanaHudson , but I think the 10-year-check-in is a worthy read:

The world has changed. Solarpunk influenced it, even without a single Masterpiece. We are continuing to build from multiple sides.
