A screenshot of a lock phone screen with six reminders on it. Five of them are telling me to cover the plants.

it’s good to remind people today we aren’t going to trauma-inform our way to “more humane” forms of caging and execution

NEW: Statement from Christa Pike's lawyers: ”Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. ... Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.” www.lawdork.com/p/the-big-pr...
Statement from Christa Pike's attorneys Randy Spivey and Kelly Gleason from the TN
Office of the Post Conviction Defender, and Stephen Ferrell and Luke Ihnen from Federal Defender Services of Eastern Tennessee
Tonight the State of Tennessee once again failed to carry out a lawful execution. We take no pleasure in being right, but the concerns raised by Ms. Pike proved to be true: difficult vein access, blown veins, degraded pentobarbital, no emergency medical care available when things inevitably go wrong, all under a protocol that remains veiled in secrecy.
Christa is being treated at a nearby hospital. We have not been informed as to her condition.

Once again thinking about Caravaggio (yes, the painter) and his inscribed sword that he would use in gang fights against rival art groups. "Without hope, without fear," holy shit, dude.

A neighborhood shop has added AI generated Beaverdale-themed shirts to its window. The images and slogans are both AI-generated and cringe. It made something gel for me: Artists and designers develop two sets of skills: rendering (composition, drawing skills, etc.) and taste (idea development)

I view those “creatives” who use AI to generate creative work with the utmost contempt. In your laziness you have denied yourself the chance to bring forth the depth of your singular human experience and share it with others. You have turned the artistic process into an assembly line Disgusting

As I mentioned just a little bit earlier: a machine cannot feel. It does not know what it means to be human, no matter how much time and effort you put into its output looking and sounding like one. To offload your creative output to a machine is to murder of your own soul

I’ve become obsessed with the disappearing night sky. I miss going outside wherever I was and seeing the stars! Glad to be able to write about this for @us.theguardian.com. Thanks to the kind readers who have already sent me emails about their own night skies. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The night sky is getting 10% brighter every year. We’re forgetting what darkness feels like
If more cities start regulating outdoor lighting, we humans could make the environment better for all living creatures

You how you can be out with some people and a song comes on and someone says ‘I love this song’ and then you might have a fun discussion about it or even get up and dance? AI has finally solved that problem.

Iowa Sec. of Ag. Mike Naig getting a huge voice in IPR’s story on the race for the seat and Iowa’s water pollution. Lots of airtime devoted to his claim that we’ve never had more people participating in “voluntary water quality” measures…and zero coverage of the fact that it’s not making an impact.

64 years ago, on the 27th of September 1962, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was published. It handled the environmental harm caused by the pesticide DDT and the disinformation spread by the chemical industry. Carson managed to sway public opinion and even policy. #otd #history 🗃️
