A hobo with a bindlestiff, walking down a lonely train track. His head has been replaced with a poop emoji with angry eyebrows whose mouth is covered with a black bar covered in grawlix.

Pluralistic: Plenty of room at the bottom (of the tech stack) (29 Sep 2025)

A detail from Blake's 'Temptation of Eve,' showing Eve taking an apple from the serpent. At the top of the scene is the Apple 'Think Different' wordmark. At the bottom looms the Linux Tux penguin.

Pluralistic: The real (economic) AI apocalypse is nigh (27 Sep 2025)

A Zimbabwean one hundred trillion dollar bill; the bill's iconography have been replaced with the glaring red eye of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' and a stylized, engraving-style portrait of Sam Altman.

Pluralistic: Apple threatens to stop selling iPhones in the EU (26 Sep 2025)

The EU flag. Behind the ring of golden stars is a rotten apple. Above the apple is the Apple 'Think different' wordmark. A worm climbs through the 'd' in 'different' and rests on the apple.

Pluralistic: Rage Against the (Algorithmic Management) Machine (25 Sep 2025)

A club weilding giant in a loincloth whose head has been replaced with the glaring red eye of HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey.' He is glowering at a defiant worker in overalls and a printer's folded hat, who wears a food delivery bicyclist's square, day-glo orange backpack, and stands next to a pennyfarthing. The sky behind the scene is faded away, revealing a 'code waterfall,' as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movies.
