my essay inquires after the history of astrological data and asks whether an LLM can meaningfully write your horoscope (and what it means for a horoscope to be "meaningful" in the first place)

Co-editor Jeffrey Moro writes on Co-Star, AI, surveillance, and media-as-environmental: “Co–Star invokes data to justify astrology as a science, rather than a purely occult practice.”

I went to Savannah and all I got was this blog post: jeffreymoro.com/blog/2025-10...

The low sweep of the Georgia coast looks at first as though a long war between land and sea has come to an uneasy truce. Each front has gained on the other until distinctions no longer hold, leaving exclaves and enclaves like a Balkan border: brackish pools and miniature lakes shape the negative space of a latticework of grass; above, crows and herons and turkey vultures prowl for their catch of the day. Roads risk the coast and bridges hold where they can. The sea, underneath all, secrets itself behind mangrove and palm, but you can still smell it. The salt-rot is in the dirt.

that's how I spent my morning and I have now more or less given up on accomplishing anything else today. how long can this continue before anyone in power, anyone at all, decides to feel some modicum of shame

another post, this time about wood as an element and also about contract labor (in several respects): jeffreymoro.com/blog/2025-07...

When we bought the house, one half of a two-story duplex in north Baltimore (the stage left half), we thought the floors on the first level were pine. Up the stairs and into the second level ran grey carpet, wall-to-wall. We would have it removed, we said. We didn’t know what was underneath; the inspector suggested generic subfloor and we didn’t know enough to disagree. Homeownership, I have learned, even in its preliminary stages, entails putting your faith in others. So when we bought the house, the floors were pine.

for this week’s blog, I wrote about a glam rock song from the 1970s and what you do when you just can’t look away jeffreymoro.com/blog/2025-06...

the beginning of a blog post: “The temperature’s rising,” Brian Eno sang. Out of the ten tracks on Eno’s debut solo record Here Come the Warm Jets, released in 1974, the third track, “Baby’s on Fire,” has always held me hypnotized. The song’s “plot,” such as it is: an unnamed woman on fire, papped by giggling onlookers, Eno crooning out her plight with a barely contained sneer — and then that guitar solo, three-and-a-half minutes of Robert Fripp freaking the fuck out over the steady cacophony of the song’s two (count ’em, two) chords. Fripp was no stranger to violent and surreal art rock: the opening track of his band King Crimson’s debut, In the Court of the Crimson King, released five years earlier, declaims “innocents raped with / napalm fire” over a set of accelerating free jazz riffs. The temperature in the 1960s and 1970s was no doubt rising, if metaphorically — meteorological data suggests that summers in the United States and Europe were if anything a bit cooler during those years compared to pre-industrial averages — but politically and socially, the heat was on.
