I love this picture because of the story it tells about how fossil specimens (and the mixed media sculptures that incorporate them) travel among different museums. The two flanking Gorgosaurus are still at AMNH, but the one in the middle was traded to the Smithsonian in 1933.

Black and white photo of a Gorgosaurus skeleton in death pose on a slab mount being lifted on a chain hoist. There are two relief skeletons of Gorgosaurus flanking a doorway behind it.

Same death pose Gorgosaurus set into a wall next to a relief-mounted Edmontosaurus

Again, much of Pete Hegseth’s deal is the only skill his job demanded for a long time was keeping a trim figure to be conventionally pretty for stay-at-home moms watching daytime tv. His job was “be pretty,” but he knows that’s a girl job, so he’s deeply insecure and is trying to make it a boy job.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”
