Of course, with the power dynamic that exists between a professor and a student, consent is a difficult issue. A student may feel they can't say no. They may feel they can't report. They may be unable to continue their studies if things go badly, even if no harm is intended. There's no equal footing

“The rate of ectopic pregnancy deaths in states with abortion bans is nearly double that in states where abortion is legal.” That stat should shame every anti abortionist in the world.

A chibi of Hameln from Morimens. He is a conductor with a gold baton, wearing a waistcoat that resembles a violin, a frilly white shirt, and a gold collar and half-ring halo. He has silver hair, pale blue eyes, and a serious expression.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

SINOPTICON Xueting Christine Ni An intro to Chinese sci-fi for western audiences. Stories range from early 90s to 2021. Opens with a real banger of a time travel story, closes with a cosmic paean for books and libraries. Surprising amount of satire and comedy. Recommended! #book #review #scifi

Greatest trick AI leaders have pulled is convincing many people—especially influential people in govt, media, and business—that their software is intelligent, independent, yet never culpable. Humans build it, humans deploy it, but no one bears responsibility for the things that happen when they do.

It's really refreshing seeing shitey normal working class life depicted like this in a game, and a Silent Hill game no less. Pebble-dashed council flats, three-bar fires, Post Office counters, concrete shopping precincts. This must be how posh people felt playing Everybody's Gone to the Rapture.

“Passion, however, does allow you to indulge in your task, a seemingly incompatible pairing of verb and predicate; but my argument is that passion can be domesticated - it is manageable and requires both the application of inspirational fuel and a steady hand to alternately stoke it and control the damper. The risk of unfettered passion is that you will flame out and your ashes will mingle with those of so many others before you.’ - Sally Mann, 'Art Work: On the Creative Life.'

A chibi of Doll from Morimens. She is a puppet with long pink hair and a white dress with voluminous sleeves. Her arms end in insectoid pincers, and she has vaguely batlike wings. Her true self is the brain in a jar floating above her head. She also has a large ‘halo’ that looks like a circle of fleshy intestine, with flowerlike stalks growing out of it with eyeballs on their ends.

None of us can top E.B. White on this argument
“Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last--the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.”
