Blood in the Machine

By Brian Merchant

A newsletter about AI, Silicon Valley, labor and power.

Brian Merchant is bringing the good word of Ned Ludd to the 21st century and I am here for all of it. I used to join in on calling people "luddites" as an insult, but he converted me into a proud luddite myself.

Animation Obsessive

Exploring the best in animation from all around the world — part investigation, part treasure hunt.

Animation Obsessive gives the most personal and human look at an industry that, in my eyes, often works to erase the identity of the artists behind it. Their work is needed and top-class!
