Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

In love with @wprb.com this morning - a marvelous history of western classical music, presented as it evolved forward in time from early music. We just had Schoenberg and an excerpt from The Rite of Spring... now on to Sibelius. I just hope he gets to John Cage before I have to go to the gym

The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

Hey, cis folks- you see this IRL, please comment on it. People think it's not a big deal, and so you've gotta help us make it a big deal! (Although be nice to the employees, usually it isn't their choice)

The billionaire sex pests pushing generative AI keep spinning up badly remembered science fiction scenarios of apocalypse, as both advertisement ("we are literally creating a god... it might be too powerful!") and as a way of shifting the conversation from its actual real world harms it already does

What we want House leadership to say is: We will hold DONALD TRUMP accountable. He is a corrupt criminal. Here are some of his criminal acts. We will hold hearings about those acts. We are coming for you, Mr. Criminal President. But they’re afraid to do that. Polls of swing districts, you know

Pro tip! The less you post about "Lake America," the less written evidence of its use there is, and the less likely any reputable dictionary company will enter it into their dictionaries. ONLY *YOU* CAN PREVENT BAD LEXICOGRAPHY

if centrists want to make an argument in this political environment they have one path: they can run on law and order, they can be the loudest voices for Consequences but “well we might vote for some Trump stuff because we’re bipartisan and also socialists are scary”? not gonna cut it anymore

Mamdani has announced that NYC restaurants can have outdoor dining all year round. This is actually a big public health win because fall and winter is when respiratory virus cases surge. Dining outdoors helps reduce the risk of disease spread.

Instead of lowering flags to half mast for Dolly, they should reinstate vaccine mandates. They should invest in public health. They should walk back discriminatory LGBTQ+ policies. They should stop banning books and fund libraries. That’s how you honour her legacy.

talking about vertebrates like how people talk about invertebrates: I saw a blue jay today! This beautiful bird is native to North America. While its bite is painful, it is nonvenomous & harmless to humans. Unlike most tetrapods, the gray squirrel broods its young internally and gives live birth!

I've been neglectful of the #dragonfly feed this summer; too busy looking at them to write about them. Here's a Violet Dropwing that I saw on that @naturetrek.bsky.social trip to the Camargue that I mentioned last month. Yowza that is a cool bug #invertebrates
A lurid purple dragonfly with red wings and eyes. Sunlight reflects from the wings on the right-hand side, causing it to glisten. It's on a gray twig, with blurry gray-green water in the background.
