Ben & Jerry was not just ice cream, it was JUST-ICE CREAM
nytimes.com The New York Times @nytimes.com · Sep 17
One of Ben & Jerry’s founders, Jerry Greenfield, has resigned from the ice cream company, saying that its independence had been lost and its social activism “silenced” under the control of its parent company, Unilever. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared
Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

Watched the Jurassic world movie (unfortunately) I can never get over how open science makes its debut appearance in a blockbuster and they managed to make it look so cringey/misrepresented 😭
as in, the whole movie is an embarrassment yet the idea as a main motivation did not seem out of place...

An important perspective - strength and integrity through connectivity and mutual flourishing of global open identifier systems and localized/ specialized identifier systems (especially in a time that calls for trust and perseverance in the scholarly community more than ever)

I fear Marvel has cooked again. This profit driven, AI fueled digital necromancy won't stop at the Tony Stark reanimation on the big screen, capitalism is straight up gonna bring back [insert dead tyrant], name it Lyn and make it the smart assistant on your phone with a true kamikaze aesthetics.

the american #tiktok migration to #rednote (and claiming to find freedom there) is so funny and emblematic of the crumbling state apparatuses of both the US and China, two endlessly self-aggrandizing countries filled to the brim with deeply unserious people 🕺👌

Building my own doomcore Xmas ambience brick by brick 💆🏻‍♀️
with Mark Fisher and Zizek, Cigarette After Sex, one chunk of Serrano ham, in the disconnected gray rainy German suburbs.
Apocalyptic wasteland aesthetics the ultimate millennial comfort zone
This image shows two different sections of text from Mark Fisher's The Weird and the Eerie, and Slavoj Zizek's essay Living in the End Times. The top portion displays white/blue text on a dark background, discussing concepts of the grotesque, with some text highlighted in green. The bottom portion shows traditional black text on a cream-colored page, numbered page 19, with the heading "LIVING IN THE END OF TIMES" and discusses ecological and societal parameters, with one section highlighted in green. The image appears to be a photograph of these texts placed together for comparison or study. The highlighted text from the top section reads: "We could go so far as to say that it is the human condition to be grotesque, since the human animal is the one that does not fit in, the freak of nature who has no place in the natural order and is capable of re-combining nature's products into hideous new forms." The highlighted text from the bottom section reads: "Unfortunately, we have now ourselves become a geological agent disturbing these parametric conditions needed for our own existence."
