  1. Ever find an old work of art that looks like you?
    This is La Petite Couturière (The Little Dressmaker) painted by Jules Breton in 1868.

    She has my taste in long full skirts and headwear, my overflowing mending basket, my hair, and most weirdly, my face (or at least, my face circa 2010).

    What she clearly doesn't have is my taste in colour.
    Yellow and orange? Great.
    Lavender, blue, and black together? Lovely (though admittedly not on me).
    All five at once? Yikes.

  2. Overall, #Doppelganger was a great read. Hard going in places, but beautifully written, carefully sourced, and cleverly conceived.

    On the surface it's the kind of self-indulgent memoir Other Naomi might write. But as I hope the flood of quotes I posted demonstrates, for Klein this is merely a jumping off point. For a deep dive into Mirror Worlds, and Shadow Lands, and the banality of the careful fearmongering that pushes good people into supporting anti-human causes.

    As usual, a tour de force.

  5. Here's a local example of the "Mirror World" Naomi Klein describes in #Doppelganger;

    “I believe that public discourse is damaged when a large platform labels or characterises others negatively, particularly in ways that are untrue, with the purpose or effect of silencing or discrediting them."

  7. Followed Review: Patrick Dunn Delivers a Creepy Digital Doppelgänger Nightmare
    Patrick Dunn’s Followed is a tight, eerie, black-and-white psychological horror comic where social media becomes the haunted house. A digital-age nightmare with indie teeth.

  9. /𝙈𝙞𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙤/

    Llevo diez minutos con el corazón en la boca, sin atreverme a mover ni un solo dedo.
    Lo que hay detrás del cristal no es un reflejo, aunque se empeñe en llevar mi maldita sudadera y tenga mi misma cara de cansancio.

    He intentado convencerme de que son las luces o que me estoy volviendo loca por no dormir, pero acabo de soltar el libro a propósito y ella ni se ha inmutado.
    Sigue ahí, con esa mirada fija, pegada al vidrio, observándome como quien mira un bicho en un tarro.
    No parpadea.
    Ni una sola vez.

    Y ahora es cuando me va a dar algo de verdad: ha empezado a empañar el cristal con el aliento.
    Pero el vaho está apareciendo por mi lado.
    El aire caliente está saliendo de su boca, pero la mancha blanca está aquí, en el salón, conmigo.
    Siento el frío del jardín en mis propios pies aunque tenga la manta encima, y ella... ella está empezando a sonreír.
    Es una sonrisa que no me cabe en la cara, demasiado ancha, demasiado llena de dientes.

    Sé que si me giro del todo, el cristal ya no estará ahí.
    Sé que si me levanto, mis pies no van a pisar la alfombra, sino la hierba mojada.
    Me está robando la temperatura, me está robando el sitio.
    Y lo peor de todo es que, por mucho que quiera gritar, mi garganta está tan seca que solo sale un silbido.
    Ella ya tiene mi voz.
    Solo le falta mi cuerpo para terminar de entrar.

  10. How interesting.. a friend has twin daughters who are in their early 30s. One had a load of hassle getting through passport control in Poland because the EU digital ID system clearly doesn't know how to handle identical twins! Immigration was convinced she was not herself but her sister (who had been on holiday recently and already been through the new ID system.) Presumably whichever one goes through the system first becomes the 'default' twin. #Twin #Doppelganger #Digital #ID

  13. Zuck's at it again! 🤖 Apparently, the billionaire #tech wizard has decided that one of him is just too many, so he's crafting a digital #doppelgänger to endure the torture of his own meetings. Because, clearly, the best solution to lackluster #leadership is more of the same, but with less human touch. 🙄💼

  15. This was an interesting discussion. I enjoyed #NaomiKlein book #Doppelgänger and the discussion of the far right and the move of some from yoga fan to vaccine skeptic (or worse). For "influencers" it seems to be about where to make the most money:

  16. Yanis Varoufakis received an invitation from a BBC producer who loved a YouTube conversation he had about Greenland, Maduro, and other topics, asking Varoufakis if he wanted to go on his show to talk.

    Except the YT video was a deepfake of Varoufakis.

    What follows is a conversation moderated by @mk about identity and the political implications of doppelgangers, with the person who has thought a lot about this in recent years, Naomi Klein.
