I’m a fan of Citarella’s work which explores online subcultures. His show Doomscroll is adjacent to this research and features a range of guests incl. Brace Belden, Quinn Slobodian, Trevor Paglen and lots more. Episodes have a range of tone but always excellent interviews and compelling info

if you're tired of the fart-huffers that usually pass for "public intellectuals" in american discourse, doomscroll podcast (and all of joshua citarella's work) is probably the breath of fresh air you've been looking for. it certainly is for me
each episode centers around an interview with someone who's in some way at the crossroads of politics and the internet, and the range of guests he's got on is immense - established academics, random internet weirdos, the guy from The 1975 - but he's always able to ground their conversation in the larger context of the modern age. it genuinely feels like a piece of media for our time, instead of engaging in the infantile 60s counter-culture cosplay that a lot of these projects tend to fall into. can't recommend enough

he's had a podcast for a while, but it got youtube-ified not too long ago. he gets an interesting array of guests from different corners of the political spectrum and i've quite enjoyed.

you know when you read good theory (or good anything really) and then you can‘t help but see further examples of whatever is being explored in the book IRL?
This book is giving that to me.
From Van Gogh immersive experience yoga to Uber eats, speed and immersion dominate so much of how things are delivered to us these days- whether that’s food or art.
The intro is really compelling. How Kornbluh connects the dots between immediacy in the sense of NOW! as well as the more hidden meaning of the word as without mediation. I saw a meme recently that showed future generations watching react videos of react videos of react videos which certainly speaks to this mass cultural wasting of the practice of mediating.
The mission this summer is mediation. come at me raw universe, I’m ready to think about ya and spit out feelings or something.
