Alex and I love a Costco date. The beloved warehouse cooperative sells bulk goods and the luxury surprises to its members at fair prices. It remains a top notch place to enjoy time together in search of treasure. Which is why we choose it for my birthday celebration today. We got some groceries, walked every […]

Julie Fredrickson examines Nick Land’s philosophical legacy, internet reactionary thought and futurism, and the pun of a “Land acknowledgment” as cultural commentary on ideology, identity, and digital geography
We are all us humans on the good ship Lollipop. I mean this as a stand in for Mother Gaia/Terra/Earth. We are all in this together right? Wrong? Who knows. I happen to be on the America decks, so even if I can see the sea is perilous the orchestra is still playing. Maybe I’m […]

America has been rejecting practical workforce training like apprenticeships for over a century. Our military nudged the enlisted into skills but it was access to university education that helped Americans climb the social ladder. The Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 or as you probably know, the “the GI Bill” was so successful that by 1947, […]
