Unrelated, but PM Press is having a damaged books warehouse sale, 70% off. Great time to get your own books if you're short on cash or to restock distros so you can sell books for cheaper:

The IGD podcast today was great. Loved Josh’s book and it’s always great to hear your social and political analysis. Also Beef was such a wild show. I didn’t love the end, but overall I thought it was a good watch.

"Does anyone want some easy watching, listening, and reading recommendations? This newsletter is for you!"

Or, how the language of PR is going to end up emanating from everywhere.

I know, i know, you do this in an ironic manner, i do it all the time myself. But if you think about it, wow.

Why do we all have to participate in this permanent cycle of self-promotion?

“In order to rule, states must also organize society to favor legibility—observation, organization, and control from above. Nowadays, rejecting legibility largely means rejecting or abstaining from the private communications technologies that states increasingly use to monitor their subjects; recovering the practices of face-to-face communication rather than mediating all our relationships through Facebook, Google, Twitter, and cell phones; using cash instead of credit cards and even better, developing black market or currency-free economies.”
