occasionally a student asks how some canonical book can possibly apply to their own life and moving forward i’ll refer them to the moment in Ulysses where bloom wants to leave a restaurant without eating there so he pretends to look around and realize he’s in the wrong place instead of just leaving

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

I’m not going to link anything, but if you think putting a robot in a classroom to teach students is a good idea, you have never met or interacted with a human child. I have a lot of opinions about public schools, but my number one opinion is that we need more adults in schools—not more tech.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: YouTube workout video featuring a girl on a yoga mat. She’s on her back with one leg raised and one knee tucked to her chest. Shes says, “take that right leg…” Panel 2: “and phase it into the 6th dimension.” Her leg enters a wormhole and reappears behind her exiting the wormhole. Her foot is folding into parallel dimensions and is barely comprehensible. Panel 3: a guy is on the floor of his living room, attempting to follow along while watching the video on his laptop. He looks sweaty and miserable and is totally in the wrong position. Fiddling with the computer keyboard, he interjects, “wait how’d she do that?”

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital
Caravaggio's Baccus painting, featuring a lush fruity spread and leaves bedecking a pasty twink who only works out his armsArticle screenshot that says:

The most extreme examples of
Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of
self-fragmentation. Magherini
describes the case of a 53-year-old
German man who was hospitalized
after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's
Bacchus at Uffizi Gallery. The patient
felt "an attraction closer and closer to
an intimate sexual arousal of
ambiguous nature that invaded him
and made him feel good and bad."
Unmoored and distressed, he sought
medical attention. After treating the
subject's initial episode, Magherini
writes that he came to recognize his
latent homosexuality. Another case...

Tiny donkey braying says put your problems in his panniers, and he’ll carry your burdens for awhile. 📸 mine #ancient #sculpture #animals
Figurine of a donkey with panniers
Cyprus, Middle Bronze Age (1950-1650 BCE)
Said to have been "found in a tomb at" Alambra, Cyprus Terra cotta (handmade) with red slip
Cesnola collection; purchased by The Met,
1874-1876. SN28.2080
The two panniers identify this animal as a donkey, who appears to bray. Travel by donkey could cover hundreds of miles, as in the Middle Bronze Age when donkey caravans carried metals and textiles in trade between central Anatolia (Turkey) and northern Mesopotamia.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

hanif abdurraqib today, tomorrow, and always!!!
Convenience and inaction are often bedfellows. Someone online wonders why “Americans still aren’t overthrowing the government.” I scroll past the message and land on a video of some C-list child actor of yore in the present day, participating in an unspectacular trend. A clip, set to the song “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls, begins with the actor now, before abruptly shifting to photos of him in the nineties. There is nothing else, no grander messaging to be pulled from the footage. It is another momentary portal: remember that one time that wasn’t this time; remember the one time that, by virtue of not being this time, was better. I admit that I myself am seduced by the idea: the younger self of this now grown actor, and my younger self who watched that actor on television, in a world that asked far less of me than this one.
