Yesterday I started reading Brian Merchant's book ‘Blood in the Machine’ which is about the Luddite uprising in Britain in the early 19th century and its connections to present times and it is getting me a bit worked up

A black and white graphic depicting a two-headed hammer in black, upright as a capital T, where the head intersects with a black ring that intersects as well with the bottom of the hammer's handle. Horizontally in the head and vertically in the handle, reversed out in white bold text are the words 'Ludd's Hammer'. At the intersection of the ring and the handle is a 🚫 over black letters 'AI'. Within the ring in white text is the phrase 'These engines of mischief have been sentenced to die', which is a modified lyric from the traditional Luddite song 'The Triumph of General Ludd'. All of this has been rendered in a rough,grungified manner. Like it's rendered in smeared machine grease.
