Adaptive Emergent Forms and Processes

All around us we can see parts self-assemble into dynamically alive, adaptive emergent forms and processes. Not only can we see it, but we are part of it, even though our day-to-day habits, our focus on things beyond our bodies, may give us the sense of being observers of objects, separate from what we observe. In fact, we are not walking through the world; we are interwoven with it.

Album Whale I cam across Album Whale while looking into Good Enoughâs blogging platform, Pika. Itâs an easy and fun (?) way to make album lists instead of playlists. Although I was at one time an inveterate mixtape-maker, those days have long since disappeared from the rearview and these days I listen ... zachbarocas.com

How the Political Wind Blows "The moment we no longer have a free press, anything can happen. What makes it possible for a totalitarian or any other dictatorship to rule is that people are not informed; how can you have an opinion if you are not informed? If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer. This is because lies, by their very nature, have to be changed, and a lying government has constantly to rewrite its own history. On the receiving end you get not only one lie â a lie which you could go on for th... zachbarocas.com

@patrickrhone The G train connects Kensington to Carroll Gardens / Cobble Hill. Not impossible that you would find your way to our neck of the woods!

Not sure when you were last here but Brooklyn Bridge Park is terrific. If you’re in the village, Goods for the Study on W 8th is worth a look. And if you’re over in Chelsea, the Jazz Record Center is a wonderful shop.

And if you’re in or around Cobble Hill, you could stop by Measure Twice!

@patrickrhone @denny Sounds a little simple for Arendt somehow.

Kind of rhymes with Sarah Kendzior’s work, though. Kendzior has been an enlightening if breathless presence for me.

Good at Explaining Things "The knee-jerk reaction to my suggestion of picking Buttigieg or Whitmer is obvious: isnât a black woman at the top of the ticket already asking a lot? Why go with two women, or a black woman and a gay man? Because theyâre smart and theyâre sharp and theyâre good on TV. If you donât like their message or platform, donât vote for them. But if you donât want to vote for a ticket with two women, or a ticket with gay man as VP, just because, then fuck you. Go vote for Trump, because youâre a bigot, and heâs the candidate for you. There are too many racists and... zachbarocas.com

Turned on Fediverse-sharing for my Threads account. How could this possibly make anything better? We will see. More likely just another step towards dumping Meta’s social platforms.
