Hey there, hi there! One of the things people "know" about silent movies is that they are simply packed with women tied to the tracks! Happened all the time. In every film! Right? Right?

Paul Cezanne @cezanne.bsky.social · 9h

In Still Life with Pot, Bottle, Cup and Fruit (c. 1871), Cézanne arranges everyday objects with the gravity of a portrait sitting. Each vessel and fruit is rendered with deliberate weight, marking his growing command of the genre he would later master.

I love that he still used a cheese knife despite gorging on cheese outdoors in a zero gravity chair. Was he inverted while eating the cheese? This man knows self-healing.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Talking about the word “reconciliation” with my students today: Kid: “So… people stole the land and then said sorry with some land knowledge-mant but they didn’t actually give the land back? ‘Cuz when I took A’s squishy you made me say sorry AND give it back.”

This sounds like a plot to get fed employees to quit & the public to be angry about poorer service, to justify privatizing the TSA so some Trump cronies can get in on private TSA contracts & Trump can get kickbacks

True not just in publishing/writing. Look at how this new Meta Muse basically jumps into the user's shit, mixes it around, gets it everywhere. Shares their address. Lies to their contacts. Sells their stuff at a low price. Do not let the vampire in. Hang garlic. Sharpen stakes.

Let’s remind Hegseth of Casimir Pulaski’s example, in the spirit of 1776 that the Secretary touts. General Pulaski— the father of the American Calvary and hero of Savannah— was an intersex or trans Polish horseman who came to this country, saved George Washington’s life, and died for our Revolution.

It was AFTER Confederation, took 10 years of stop-and-start planning first, and the 1881-1885 construction phase went HALFWAY across Canada—just Ontario to B.C.—without labour standards or consideration of Indigenous people. This mythologizing of the CPR is in itself a mark of unseriousness.

Carrie Fisher has a birthday coming up in October. I was fortunate enough to have met and speak with her at a writers conference in Maui in 1998. I was able to speak candidly about her relationship with her parents, Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. She seemed distant and sad about them, I recall.

Knowledge is NOT politically neutral. The scientific method is a tool for deriving knowledge. So why then, are we telling the arbiters of the scientific method and developers of knowledge to be politically neutral? Are scientists supposed to forsake knowledge for politics sake?

The AI superintelligence scare campaign distracts media, politicians, and much of the public from the many ways generative AI is already harming people and taking lives all around the world. That’s why it’s so essential to stop echoing the tech industry’s deception. disconnect.blog/the-media-ha...

When we talk about the threat of AI superintelligence, we’re not talking about how chatbots are aiding mass shooters. We’re not talking about how chatbot dependence is pushing people into mental health spirals and threatening people’s ability to learn and think critically. We’re not talking about the women and children who are victims of non-consensual deepfakes or how AI-generated false information is flooding social media platforms, sometimes just for profit, but other times for much more nefarious reasons.

That’s not to mention to threat to jobs in a whole range of sectors, or how employers are rolling out AI tools to further surveil and deskill workers. It’s also doesn’t get to the other major aspect of all those AI tools: the growing controversy around the hyperscale data centers needed to power them and the whole range of social and environmental consequences that accompany them.
