I marshal the middle between Mathers and McLuhan: author, artist, poet, ph.d. Books include DEAD PRECEDENTS, BOOGIE DOWN PREDICTIONS, POST-SELF, and THE MEDIUM PICTURE: Free newsletter:
We’ve all heard and had so many conversations about and with LLMs lately... Leif Weatherby (@leifw.bsky.social) does some deep work on and thinking about these models in his new book 'Language Machines' (from @uminnpress.bsky.social). 💙📚 #booksky #ai #llms wellredbear.com/leif-weather...

The 8th issue of my zine “The Unexplained” came out sometime during the second half of 1988... It’s evident with this issue that I’d learned a bit more about cameras and copy machines. I remember being very proud of it. roychristopher.com/the-unexplai...

Afterword, by David Markson by [Name of Author] (@incastellated.bsky.social, 2025) is an odd little book at best... I cornered the consciousness behind the lack of author of Afterword (no, it’s not AI) and asked a few questions. 💙📚 #booksky wellredbear.com/afterword-an...
