The Barbara Gaines show has been renewed for another season! Think Letterman, but in a home for the infirm, peppered with references to long lost Americana and 1940s sports. youtu.be/XlZb3OkY7yY?... #barbaragaines

If you've ever had the temerity to not be privately educated before attempting to work in the arts sector in the UK, you may recognise Barry Ferns' "The Dark Side of Meritocracy: Why 'Hustling' is a Trap" www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0HG... @barryseconomics.bsky.social

The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

I was wondering why AI-generated flyers like the one that just landed on my doorstep are so unsettling. And I think it’s because none of the humans depicted are looking into another human’s eyes. They’re just gazing into a middle e-distance waiting for instruction.

Nobody wants a future where the majority of the internet and 'creative content' is AI slop. That's the future unless we collectively pull the brake on generative AI. This isn't a runaway train. The narrative of inevitability is propagated by Big Tech to try and profit off pushing AI at us.

I believe Lucy Mangan's Guardian review of the C4 Gary Stevenson documentary is wrong. It is worth watching. In my opinion: 1) Stevenson is an "appealing presenter". 2) Stevenson is not "floundering" in the interviews. He's letting the interviewees have their say. 3)...

When radioactivity was discovered, there was a rush to market for all sorts of radioactive consumer goods. There were water jugs made out of uranium glass, for example. I think about that a lot these days whenever I see AI products being marketed to consumers.
