La critique anthropocentrique de l'IA reproduit le cadre conceptuel qu'elle dénonce en opposant humain et machine. Cette approche manque la dimension anthropotechnique constitutive et l'altérité radicale de l'intelligence artificielle. Une xénocritique permettrait de penser les reconfigurations induites par ces technologies sans présupposer une finitude humaine menacée.

While I agree with Nesrine Malik's criticisms of the 'hostage politics' of the Labour Party's claim that they remain the best of a bad bunch on political parties, once again, the only 'alternative' is presented as a shift to the right by voters.... here she only mentions the Greens once - as an example of how Labour uses Farage as a threat on the doorstep - and seems to completely discount the wide range of left-shift potential Green voters;
odd that?

Welcome to the era of ‘hostage politics’, where Labour is apparently your only hope
First it was the Conservatives and now Reform. The only thing the government has to offer is that it’s the least worst option, says Guardian columnist Nesrine MalikNesrine Malik (The Guardian)

It may take a leadership election for the Greens to get some substantial coverage in the mainstream media, but nonetheless as Peter Walker argues, the party is being offered a choice between too different futures:
between a continued focus on the political party environment of Westminster or a shift (back?) to a more activist, popular movement aligned more clearly with activist groups.
Which is best? Green party members may have a difficult choice
theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Green party must choose again between election-focused or activist leaders
Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns will be up against Zack Polanski, who is calling for ‘eco-populism’ mass movementPeter Walker (The Guardian)
as a #gpew member, I find this difficult. The electoral strategy to date has self-evidently worked well in its own terms & elected office brings important benefits beyond the obvious
But power increasingly sits outside traditional politics (broligarchy anyone?) &, as the executive arrogate ever power to itself, we must be clear of the limitations of electoral success
Also, we only beat Reform Ltd thro grassroots allyship, helping community solidarity networks take root 1/2
2/2
Electoral success may well help facilitate this and is complementary to it but being alongside our potential voters, helping tackle day-to-day challenges, enabling people feel there is a point in engaging because good stuff can & does happen are all crucial
I don’t accept the debate is binary but it’s one we really need to have to gain clarity about what we mean. Whether it will be helpful to have the discussion in the glare of a hostile media is another matter
Yes, as a non GPEW member I appreciate your concerns about having this debate in the glare of publicity enraged by a hostile media.... but then, equally if the Greens are to gain more traction, quickly they need some strategy to break out of that media circus.... which in the end may be shifting focus (partly) away from parliamentarism?
I think they are currently being gifted a unique opportunity. If they play it right they could replace Labour as the main party of the left as the whole left has basically been abandoned by the other parties.
I doubt they’ve got it in them though.

It's a beautiful work, it seems to be somewhere that is really very low traffic, and my very brief looking into the NGO mentioned... They're not about "domestic violence," so much as being SWERFs and probably TERFs.
OK, a bit more research... They make the TERFs look reasonable... While some of the companies they've gone after, I think are utter shitty companies (often for similar reasons as they say) even those that I think should be, "burned off the planet" that they're lying harshly about how terrible they are. So, yeah, the campaign is right shitty, and not in a, "oh they don't understand" kind of way. In a very much "we're making the world better, by taking everyone's right away, and are proud to be fascist," type of way.

Unzipped Building — Alex Chinneck in Milan, Italy
A building facade appears to peel open like a jacket, with an oversized zipper curling away the wall to reveal its inner structure. This public installation by Alex Chinneck uses stone, concrete, and illusion to challenge how we perceive architecture.
8 Buildings That Look Like They’re From a Dream
From a church in Iceland that looks like a spaceship preparing for launch, to a house zipped open on a street in Milan — this collection showcases architecture at its most imaginative. Included are cliffside wartime refuges, storybook cottages, optical illusions, and centuries-old constructions that defy gravity or blend perfectly into mountains. These aren’t digital renderings — they’re real places from around the world.

1. Unzipped Building — Alex Chinneck in Milan, Italy
A building facade appears to peel open like a jacket, with an oversized zipper curling away the wall to reveal its inner structure. This public installation by Alex Chinneck uses stone, concrete, and illusion to challenge how we perceive architecture.
2. King Alfred’s Tower — England
This red-brick triangular tower rises dramatically from the fog in Somerset, England. Built in 1772, it commemorates Alfred the Great and reaches over 49 meters high with a narrow footprint that adds to its illusion of impossibility.
3. Alpine Refuge — Monte Cristallo, Italy
Located at 2,760 meters in the Dolomites, this hidden wooden shelter from World War I is embedded directly into the rockface. Built for survival, it now appears like a dreamlike relic barely distinguishable from the mountain.
4. Hallgrímskirkja Church — Reykjavík, Iceland
This iconic Lutheran church, inspired by basalt columns and volcanic formations, dominates the Reykjavík skyline. Designed in 1937 and completed in 1986, its symmetry and scale evoke science fiction architecture.
5. The House That Sank — The Crooked House, UK
Built in 1765 on top of a mine shaft, this British pub developed a pronounced tilt as the ground beneath it slowly gave way. Despite its slanting angles, it remained a local favorite for centuries.
6. Organic Slate Roof House — Germany
This home with flowing lines and a wave-shaped slate roof blurs the line between fairy tale and high-end eco-architecture. Natural stone and soft curves give it a whimsical yet grounded appearance.
7. Cliff House — France (Built 1347)
Balanced between eras and gravity, this timber-framed upper house sits atop massive medieval stonework. Located in France and completed in 1347, it seems to hover above the road with support beams stretching underneath.
8. Rock-Built Homes — Sanaa, Yemen
Traditional Yemeni tower houses in Sanaa rise directly from the rock, combining ancient stone masonry with ornate white geometric window frames. The buildings appear both sculpted by nature and intricately human-made.These buildings bend our expectations of what architecture can be — not just structures, but expressions of ingenuity, adaptation, and creativity. Whether carved into mountains or dressed like zippers, they show that the line between surreal and real is thinner than it seems.

"This public installation by Alex Chinneck uses stone, concrete, and illusion to [look weird]"
Enough with the shite about "challenging how we perceive" stuff. It doesn't: we don't think buildings can now have big zippers on them as an architectural norm, we know it's art. It wouldn't work as art if we did think it was just architecture.
The building looks weird in a humorous way, and it's OK for that to be the point of it, since it succeeds at that.

Zwei Radfahrer stehen an einem sonnigen Tag an einer asphaltierten Straße. Der Radfahrer im Vordergrund trägt eine schwarze Radhose, ein schwarzes Radt-Shirt und einen weißen Helm, und hält eine grüne Flasche in der Hand. Sein Fahrrad, ein Specialized, steht im Gras neben ihm, mit zwei Wasserflaschen im Halter. Der zweite Radfahrer, in einem blauen Radt-Shirt und schwarzen Radshorts, steht etwas weiter entfernt auf der Straße. Beide tragen Sonnenbrillen und Helme. Im Hintergrund sind Häuser und grüne Felder zu sehen, und die Straße führt in die Ferne.

Das Bild zeigt zwei Radfahrer auf einem Radweg in einer Stadt. Der Radfahrer im Vordergrund trägt einen blauen Radfahreranzug, eine schwarze Radhose und einen Helm. Er fährt ein blau-weißes Fahrrad und hat eine Sonnenbrille auf. Der Radfahrer im Hintergrund trägt einen gelben Radfahreranzug mit schwarzen Details und einen Helm. Beide Radfahrer sind auf einem Radweg, der von einem Gehweg und einer Straße begrenzt wird. Der Gehweg ist mit Steinen gepflastert, und die Straße hat eine Parkbucht mit einem dunkelblauen Minivan. Im Hintergrund sind Bäume und Häuser zu sehen, die typisch für eine europäische Stadt sind. Der Radweg ist mit einem Radzeichnungszeichen gekennzeichnet.

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •I think pretending the similar alternatives don't exist is actually a strategy that I see at local level where I live. The LDs have done very well with the "its us of the Tories" campaigning, but if you look at the numbers here the threat is the Greens who's numbers are growing quickly and yet you never see them mentioned.
Equally though the Green messaging here is lame and abstract, "the LDs are too powerful so vote in a few green councillors".

in reply to Robert Klaschka • • •the Green messaging here is basically nonexistent, which is thoroughly frustrating.
I keep hearing from the regional party that they need people to go leafleting, which I physically cannot do. I don't here from the local party at all.
I *want* to get involved. I *want* to go to the odd meeting, do a bit of background admin, maybe. But there doesn't seem to be anything happening that I can actually get involved with. If there is, they're not sharing it anywhere I can hear about it.
We would very much benefit, up and down the country, from the Greens being more visible. We would benefit *here* from them being visible at all. The main reason my council didn't go Reform is because we didn't happen to have elections this time. Something needs to change before the next one.

in reply to Emeritus Prof Christopher May • • •Ask them how well that worked in Runslip. The total votes for Reform + Conservative went up by about 500 from 2024 to 2025. The total votes for Labour dropped by 10,000. Labour lost by six votes. If they'd managed to convince seven former Labour voters that they were actually better than Reform, they'd have won the by election.
That's the kind of thing that should cause a leadership contest. If it doesn't, I hope the Greens manage to capitalise on it by showing that the choices are an indistinguishable mix of Labour, Conservatives and Reform, or them.
If the choices are Farage, or someone doing a second-rate Farage impression, voters won't bother to turn up. Being very slightly less bad than the alternative is not a vote winner.
The Democrats in the USA have shown this repeatedly. Their policies are basically 'do what the Republicans are doing, but a bit more slowly'. People don't look at that and see an alternative worth putting effort into campaigning or voting.
Emeritus Prof Christopher May reshared this.

There's flow of voters in all directions, there always is. But a good number of Tories are now voting Reform, while a good number of Labour voters are *not voting*. "Less bad than the other lot" is not getting people to the polling station for anyone.

Indeed; its the statistic that the Labour-right continually have to explain away

TOTALLY. And if we in the #USA ever get back anything even vaguely resembling a real electoral system, we CANNOT tolerate the continued existence of the #JackassParty in its current form. It will need to be either transformed beyond recognition, or replaced with a very different party. For the last three decades, Bill "NAFTA" Clinton, Barack "fake hope, counterfeit change" Obama, and Joe "Nothing will fundamentally change" Biden have been teaching the public that there is no real hope for anything better than fascism, and that any non-fascist they vote for will just continue letting the nation's wealth go to corporations and billionaires.
