In case anyone was wondering, suffragette Cicely Hamilton, born June 15, 1852, is currently 154 years old. Thank god for AI, or I would've missed this amazing fact.

From August 16. The sky's 𝙞𝙣 the shot, but it's not specifically of the sky.

It is a blow for sure. There are positives (not specific to this next mission, but in general). The 2026 astronaut class has more women than men for the 1st time ever. & it's inevitable that at least one woman will be on Artemis IV. They definitely dropped the ball with this latest selection though.

This is also my bow hold. And James Cervetto's (1748-1837). By holding the stick with three fingers "against" the pinky & thumb, it's much easier to manage the bow. I couldn't imagine going back to the old way.

Spotify this morning. My "offer" (whatever that is) expires at the end of 1969. Shades of Y2K. Maybe they should focus less on ICE ads and military AI.

I posted a thread a few days ago about AI (duckduckgo; google) inventing book titles/synopsis'. The authors of the "books" appear to be real people (though only a few are actually authors). I wonder if not just "wrong," but "blatant, make stuff up wrong" is a deliberate algorithm. All 4 are fake:

Here are some screenshots from previous searches (Duckduckgo, however other AI searches net similar results - like "The Score of a LIfetime" a fake "novel" about Clara Schumann - clever, huh)? I feel kinda bad amplifying fake stuff, but also think it's important that people know about this!

This one's a fixer upper, but I'm sure the governor would still appreciate it.

Different guy, but I'm reminded of this when looking at the pinched faces of Hegwarts and Bondo:

Finally went for it and got cds made of my latest record. (Streaming's ok, but it's nice to have physical media with liner notes* *a quaint term from an earlier era that some might not know.)

Harper (PP's 'mentor') OVERTLY, HORRIBLY muzzled Canadian scientists during his time as PM. This rendition of Reagan & Bush II sums up the Harper-PP relationship well:

Replying to your xitter post: in 2020 I changed my focus from writing my own music to championing music of historical women composers whose work has gotten short shrift. Very excited & happy with that decision! Love your songs & support for masking! A cello concert I played in a week & 1/2 ago:

Cello concert Sat before last. Everyone was masked. And completely chill about it. It was a great night and I'm feeling confident about doing more shows the same way.

This is really good to hear! Last weekend I organized/performed in a cello concert. Masks required; sold out show. People were completely chill about it; zero weird vibe.

Sometimes, sci-fi is prescient; in this case, it's instant reality: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝑯𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒍, by Laila Lalami, pub. Mar 4, 2025. An article by Canadian actor/recent ICE detainee, Jasmine Mooney, pub. March 19, 2025. The similarities are chilling, to say the least. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

They forgot the Detroit double whammy: flood, then freeze. At least people remembered to raise their windshield wipers…

A screenshot from "The Etude" magazine, November, 1918. It's frustrating how little progress has been made in 100+ years. We carry on. There is SOME improvement, but we're still depressingly far from a proper 50% representation of works by women composers.

Spotify stat: my top artist for 2023 was Ethyl Smyth, followed by Mel Bonis, Emilie Mayer and Charlotte Sohy. Nearly 283 hours listened. And Vancouver BC - of all places (right across the water from where I live) - apparently has the highest per capita of spotify listeners with similar taste...😮
