Black text that reads:

229 new affordable homes are coming to the Bronx.

We just broke ground on Sol on Park:
• 80 homes for current NYCHA residents
• 69 homes for formerly homeless seniors
• 79 homes for low- and middle-income seniors
• 8,000 sq. ft. of community space, including a health and wellness center 

This is what’s possible when we invest in NYCHA and use the power of government to build a City where New Yorkers come first.

Also playing on a different channel/service every night during the playoffs is a bad move. I understand that during the season you might get exposure to viewers you wouldn't otherwise, but if someone can't watch all the games in a series they're likely to not watch any.

Her son carefully lifted his ochre-stained hand from the cave wall and studied the outline. "That's me. My hand." He looked at the other hands. "Do you know all?" "Some are older than me." "That old?" "Hush you," she laughed. "We don't make these to be seen tomorrow, but because today, we live."

I see this all the time: “oh, I just use grammarly” or “I just use [service with “optional” AI] without the AI parts.” There is no “without the AI parts”. Unless you have scoured the TOS and can absolutely verify a separation, they’re all being fed to the beast (and I don’t trust companies).

So there are no plans for a full GenAI Doctor Who. However, the BBC overall (not just Doctor Who creatives) apparently doesn't have any qualms with using AI in various capacities. So definitely worthy of pushback but also the show isn't ruined (yet).

Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

My friend Mark Cho, co-founder of The Armoury, visited Lovat Mill in Scotland some years ago. He filmed this charming video with Lovat co-owner and design director Alan Cumming, who explains what goes into making tweed. You can see how many bright colors are used to make a "simple" earthy color.

In December 1893 a crime was committed which sent shock-waves around the world. Readers of the monthly publication Strand Magazine were the first to learn of the offence, but news spread fast, and soon the tragic facts of the case were common knowledge: Sherlock Holmes was dead. After six years of recording his exploits, Arthur Conan Doyle had grown tired of the Great Detective and decided the only way he could be truly free of the character was to kill […]

There's a concept of "Dead Labor", in which the effort put into creating something is ignored, and its mechanistic outputs are treated as a result of the object. No, the espresso machine didn't invent espresso, someone built that, and also, someone has to maintain it.

It really doesn't make sense to attribute those job losses to AI-the-technology, because if that were the case we'd be observing AI outputs displacing conventional entertainment products, and they're clearly not. Rather, the impact of AI is that AI-the-business is crowding out other investment.

when my masc lesbian aunt died, women just kept coming, screaming, crying, and saying they were her wives. Eventually we just had to start telling them to join the others. They were all devastated to learn about each other. Except for one who came in, kissed her dead mouth and showed us all that they had matching tattoos. She actually won all the mourning wives over and they all agreed she was the wife. It was so weird.Did not expect more than a few people to see this but yes it really happened, yes it was insane
