"How did you get into TTRPGs?" When I was 5 years old, I annoyed my brother and his friends enough that he bought me the DnD Red Box to get me started on my own.

My aunt, Barbara (passed in 2019), earned money for her college studies at Texas Womens University then Southern Methodist University by being a walking model in that store during the 1950s. She'd eventually earn her PhD in Art History (Meso-American Art) from University of Texas.

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

Reading proofs from book & remembering what I wrote in 2015: "I am very concerned about the future of AI. Not because of the risk of rogue machines taking over. But because of the homogeneous, one-dimensional group of men who are currently involved in advancing the technology.”

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind

I was trying to explain to friends last week this exact concept, that AI doesn't understand anything. It's just a statistical model based on absurdly huge data sets about what usually comes next. They in unison turned to our friend who codes and loves AI and he said "she's basically right."

For the first time in a while, the Kennedy Center was brimming with life. Thousands of supporters gathered Friday, surrounding as much of the building as they could, in protest of President Trump’s takeover and closure of the venue.

Thousands rally outside shuttered Kennedy Center, chanting ‘Hands off!’
The vigil took place at the end of a week that saw the doors to the marble building locked shut.
