A wonderful collection from Wayne State University Press which reveals how the very form/structure of our prose speaks to the status quo. A push into the interlacing of imagination and politics.

Le souper est fini. La table débarrassée. Ma femme se prépare pour sa séance de sport. Training et baskets. Je me prépare pour la vaisselle. Eau chaude et gants jaunes.

— Quand tu auras deux minutes, tu descendras les linges à repasser ?

C'est une question rhétorique. J'aurai le temps. TINA comme ils disent.

Je termine la vaisselle.

Je monte en pensant à Sisyphe qui descend. Je nous imagine dans l'escalier central du château de Chambord. Il descend, je monte. Nous ne nous croisons pas mais sommes également libres.

Je descends les bras chargés des linges. Je les dépose sur la table. Je descends à la cave. Si ça se trouve Sisyphe remonte sa pierre. Et s'il était aussi libre en la montant ? Les Dieux l'auraient mauvaise. Cette perspective m'enchante. Je ne crois pas en Dieu. Peut-être y ai-je cru. Mais il est mort maintenant. Après ? C'est le néant. TINA. Je décide qu'il l'est. Libre.

Comme moi qui décide de boire une canette de Coca.

Il paraît qu'une canette de coca c'est huit minutes de vie.

La liberté a un prix.

The One Left Behind by Mary Brotherton

https://midnight-publishing.org/2026/03/27/the-one-left-behind-by-mary-brotherton/

L'architecte de questionnement agit par la question fine, et l'angle chirurgical qui révèle le penseur, car les questions sont elles mêmes architectoniquement singulières.

Il ne faut pas confondre "la prose vient de l'IA" avec "la pensée vient de l'IA".

The sky is nothing but gloomy.
How can this be?

When was the sun pushed away,
banished into darkness?

When did hope
become just a simple word?

When did gloom
become our daily bread?

When was the last bit of hope
banished from our hearts, when?

When was the end heralded?
When, when?

When was everything stolen from me?
When? When?

Cory Doctorow, a fellow #Canadian, writes a lot of interesting stuff. I agree with his positions on many things, but not all. For example, I'm about ten thousand percent behind his opposition to anti-circumvention laws; I was one of the thousands of Canadians who wrote to the government opposing the introduction of the law many years ago.

However, his blog on Thursday, staking out the position that opposition to "AI" (LLM) is just geeky #purity culture is somewhere between "flat-out wrong" and "disingenuous at best".

My position against #LLM #slop everywhere is both because of #ethical #concerns and practical ones. There does not exist an LLM right now that was built and trained ethically; they are all statistical plagiarism machines, and speaking as someone whose #prose and #code has been plagiarized by every single one of them, that pisses me off, royally.

That's a show-stopper for me, but even if it wasn't, the #practical concerns - that the output is #untrustworthy, that the #references can't be checked, that the #code is #insecure and #unmaintainable, that the #licensing status is unclear, that it's a #copyright violation - are *also* enough to rule out #LLMs at present.

He then presents a #strawman argument - all tech is fruit of the poisoned tree, the #transistor was invented by a racist, etc. But William Shockley is not designing or manufacturing any of the transistors / #ICs I use today.

So, @doctorow - I gotta say I disagree. And that's fine.

diretta online: “campagne”, di giancarlo busso (ed. fallone, 2025) – presentazione a cura del centroscritture

Campagne, opera d’esordio di Giancarlo Busso, è una raccolta di prose e poesie nella quale si dipana una fenomenologia della percezione minuziosa che si allarga al sotteso degli oggetti, delle atmosfere, della fabbrica umana e del suo rapporto/scontro con le leggi della natura, del conflitto umano-animale all’interno di una legge ecologica di competizione. “Le campagne di Busso non sono in nessun modo idilliche o rasserenanti” (dalla prefazione di MG al libro).

Some fleeting thoughts I thought worth holding:

A Lost Day

Is there something enjoyable about a lost day? Do you know the charm of the emptiness, the feeling of Your batteries being reloaded in a desert absent of meaning?

A good day, he decided. A shift, a movement. He could not possibly predict now who he would become, only that watching his thumb press across that stray glop of Gillette and thus reveal a little more blue in the vanity countertop . . . .

Mending Wall by #RobertFrost.

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun;
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
I let my neighbour know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
"Stay where you are until our backs are turned!"
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours."
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
"Why do they make good neighbours? Isn't it
Where there are cows? But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down." I could say "Elves" to him,
But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father's saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, "Good fences make good neighbours."

Nothing Gold Can Stay by #RobertFrost.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,

Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.

Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

I'm keeping reading Shklovsky. This paragraph is not that funny for a non-Russian ear, but it reminded me of two great anecdotes I want to share. (01/03)

love presses into me like a warm blade
sweet edge opening the soft parts
I reach for it even as it stings
because the hurt feels shaped like belonging
