This resonates with a lesson I frequently teach at work: Organize for a goal, and your system (people, process, etc) is usually unsustainable and brittle. Organize for operational excellence, for a team that grows and has space to grow, and the goal, even if it changes, is achieved incidentally.

I post this image a lot because it makes the economic and cultural logics of so-called AI clear. “I want an assistant to labor for free” is a dream of a slavery unburdened by ethics and morality. There are downstream, real world consequences for this desire beginning with your labor and well-being.

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

We have something very cute to share with you today 🦉 This summer, a pair of barn owls successfully reared four owlets at Kedleston Hall, marking Kedleston's first known breeding success in over two decades.
Four young barn owls jostle onto the small wooden ledge of their nest box, fixed to a huge oak tree behind themA young barn owl in flight, its wings stretched up above it against a blurry green background, its white heart-shaped face facing the cameraA young barn own in flight, a blurry oak tree behind it, its huge white and brown wings beating downwards as it looks at the cameraA barn owl swooping down with its wings fanned wide across a field of long purplish grass

There’s something worth dwelling on that the exploitative data classifying and labeling human labor apparatus that tech companies created in the global majority to moderate harmful content was so easily repurposed to facilitate the generation of harmful content. What is trust and safety really?

Chris Hansen Discourse on reddit has produced a beautiful and evocative sentence that I will try, in the spirit r/24, to present to my audience as cinematically as possible
Dutch angle and heavily saturated text: "Well of course he's a grifter, I know this."Also angled, but with some monitor reflection serving as a passable lens flair: "But he still pumps out entertaining content,"

Doorbell just rang. A package from Australia. The bookseller Nicholas Pounder sent me a small press print of my Times Literary Supplement poem, "Criseyde." It's a private, gift copy, and it has brought tears to my eyes this morning, for so many reasons.
They said Cassandra
Was the cursed one
But every woman knows too much.
I am used by now
To my voice getting caught in my teeth.
It doesn’t help
That I can smell tomorrow’s burning.
No one is interested
In the geometry
Of a falling city.
I sit politely and fan myself
Listening to old philosophies
Trying not to show
I see the sparks of death in their eyes.
My soles feel the road to come
The cool boards of an enemy’s ship
The freedom of early surrender.

I would be much more likely to visit the Lucas museum if there was a secret room, decked out to look like a slightly messy apartment, that was just a gallery full of pictures of Carrie Fisher having a nice time.
Carrie fisher and Meryl Streep  in 1991 at a party. They booth have blonde bobs and Carrie is urgently feeding Meryl chocolate cakeCarrie Fisher with short dark/res hair and. Black dress at a party in 1990 she is holding a cigarette and is doing a silly duck face with her hands to her ears. Tom hanks stands behind her Carrie fisher and Harrison ford at a party in someone’s apartment - I’m guessing around 2003?

She holds him close with her face in his chest and they both stare with faux, scandalous intensity into the camera Carrie fisher (black dress) and Margot Kidder (white blouse -
Holding a drink) at a party around 1980 if I had to guess they’re both smiling like crazy - it looks like Margot just told a funny story

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
