Next week back at Sciences Po, Paris with @lbngr for a talk on "repurposing digital media for collective inquiry", reflecting on 6 years of projects and activities with the @publicdatalab: jonathangray.org/2023/03/24/me

It will be first time back since Bruno Latour died last year, which is still sinking in (gathering pieces here: are.na/jonathan-gray/rememberi ... )

Infrastructures Work on Time by
Timothy Mitchell: "An infrastructure project is a device for stretching forward the passage of time. It is an apparatus for the creation of a delay."

🍄 ⛓️ In addition to the pragmatic ask (please boost that post! ⬇️), crowd-sourcing for help tracing mushrooms through is fascinating to me as bottom-up supply chain governance.

In , I speculate about "trans-species supply chain justice", holding , community sovereignty, & concerns together--& bringing into view as contested spaces.

"..attending to these hidden intermediaries demystifies the way that a firm like Amazon builds power—not simply by bringing old relations “online,” but by shifting onto others the responsibility and risk of sustaining them" - Moira Weigel's recent report with @datasociety:

"If you understand Amazon as an aspiring megascale infrastructure company — a provider of systems, services, capacity, and labor — its junkification makes sense. Amazon hasn’t been acting like a store for a while. In its ideal future, selling things to people is everyone else’s problem. And so is Amazon."

"The current plan to defend the entails shoring up infrastructure, hardening the port’s defenses against rising tides and extreme weather. I wondered, though, about the wisdom of this. Instead of doubling down on the system that brought us here, I thought, what if we stopped to ask whether the logistical we’ve built is the one we actually want?" YES.

“The short-termism of policymaking neglected any plans that had to be made for the abominably lengthy, costly life of radioactive waste… the earliest structures “weren’t even built with decommissioning in mind… The decommissioning programme is laden “with assumptions and best guesses””. Endings are hard to conceive when they are measured in the tens of thousands of years. Samanth Subramanian on the Sellafield nuclear plant in the UK. theguardian.com/environment/20
