Ken Montague: “It’s possible to establish an art collection of portraiture that will be uplifting while being truthful to history and exploring ideas that are essential when we think about Black culture, Black identity, Black life.” magazine.frontier.is/p/ken-montague

On @freshkillspark: “It took decades to close the landfill; it is taking decades to rehabilitate its Staten Island site; and it’ll take yet more decades of awareness-raising and activism to reduce our great tides of refuse to a trickle.” magazine.frontier.is/p/second-life-…

As we enter gift-giving season, I wrote this week on @freshkillspark & @vollebak, two very different organizations repurposing waste into something new and better.

Thinking about Humane’s AI Pin and @newcomputer’s Dot, I realize: “there is still plenty of room to grow within current paradigms of human-computer interaction. That runway is in designing conversation.” magazine.frontier.is/p/human-after-…

The bad-neighbor effect was part of my argument against the MSG Sphere in July. Glad to see the London Mayor’s office taking their concerns seriouly. magazine.frontier.is/p/bad-moon-ris…

This week: realizing I want AI that builds upon what I know, not what the world does. For me, that means @newcomputer over @Humane. Hardware is (almost) fungible; relationship-building isn’t. cc @jasonyuan & @sjwhitmore magazine.frontier.is/p/human-after-…

Abraham Burickson’s @yalebooks title “Experience Design” reminds me of @notrobwalker’s “The Art of Noticing” and @austinkleon’s “Steal Like An Artist”—they all advocate for using our powers of observation and creativity when relating to the world. magazine.frontier.is/p/are-you-expe…

This week: Abraham Burickson’s @yalepress @odysseyworks book “Experience Design” suggests a profound shift in how we conceive of the act of design: magazine.frontier.is/p/are-you-expe…

The @pulitzerarts Foundation has a great-looking exhibit on the “lost buildings of St. Louis.” At the same time, its patron has a large real-estate project one block west of the museum. Urban-development advocates would benefit from linking the two. magazine.frontier.is/p/lost-and-fou…

@dada_drummer Last one, for now, partly because it’s depressing to post these: x.com/zzzzaaaacccchh…

I spent a few months interviewing Discogs sellers and former employees about the site's decline, why it's flailing, and how the new fee increase is making it untenable for many longtime sellers. The piece is now live at @Stereogum: stereogum.com/2241158/the-di…

Following on from the piece above & from my interview last week with Jace Clayton: Spotify will soon no longer pay royalties on tracks with fewer than 1,000 streams. Here’s @dada_drummer rightly excoriating this policy: dadadrummer.substack.com/p/1000-streams…

Independent-music communities are at a crossroads. There’s more great music, and more great music writing, than ever. But despite (because of?) technological progress, it’s getting harder to find & support it. magazine.frontier.is/p/sound-and-fu…
