Been browsing powRSS a lot more lately, and it's really helped fill out my RSS reader feed. I fee like I always have something interesting to read from a variety of bloggers and topics. Here's a few that especially seemed discussion-sparking or interesting.
Blogs
- Quailblog - The May-July Flower Report
- MSD is a multi-talented artist and blogger with some of the most fun ?concept? art I've seen. They post little stories attached to the art they make and it really is fleshing out a little universe in each post. They also make music and take photos and stuff. Check em out
- Freddie deBoer's Blog - The Rage of the AI Guy
- Yes I know Subtstack, ew. But I think this article specifically is a very impassioned discussion about a lot of the AI hype out there. The article largely responds to a Yascha Mounk post that honestly reads like religious gospel to me - prophecies of a rapture to come and the boundless powers of God included.
- The Homebound Symphony - Denialism and Its Counterfeits
- Stumbling upon this blog has been a treasure trove of Anarchist thought and interesting discussion of various topics. The author appears to also have written some well-regarded political essays and has put a few books on my endlessly-growing to-read list
- The Naming Way with Ol' C.W. - Other Pursuits
- C.W. is a rabid media consumer and it's really impressive to see just how much he is reading/watching/listening to. He posts reviews of all the stuff that appears to interest him or he believes is good. It raised an eyebrow when his lowest rating was an 8/10, but he has also mentioned that he simply doesn't finish things or post about most of the ones he doesn't like - so he gets a pass from my '5/10 is average' ass.
Articles
- From the author of The Homebound Symphony: Between Chaos and The Man
- A discussion on anarchism as a political practice AJ's personal journey towards becoming one. Mentions a book I've been meaning to read: Ursula Le Guin's legendary work of fiction The Dispossessed.
