Artema tells the story of a woman who's a little too enthusiastic about defending her pacifist community. It's about trauma, exile, and moving forward...with lots of fighting, Sapphic smooching, non-linear timelines, and gorgeous art by Angela Boyle! www.kickstarter.com/projects/art...

They sound like a cross between a fire and brimstone "preacher" who owns three private planes and two yachts and tells you you absolutely MUST believe in him/Him and also pay for the luxury of it, but also the worst, most desperate late night commercials for things you would never want

As a Liberty fan, frankly it's disgusting that the Fever are forcing me to root for the Aces

So glad that this quote can be added to my forthcoming article on AI and Epistemic Dispossession because I had to say that they will absolutely be using AI to erase science and history but I didn’t yet have the ‘he admit it’ smoking gun

Fuck the Fever organization. I feel so awful for all of the players who are there to play basketball and constantly getting overshadowed by the Clark and Cunningham freakshow circus

Thanks so much to Kristen Ford for having me on her podcast, Obermann Amplified! We talked about sticking it out in music, how to hang on to your spark, and what art really means right now. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c... Listen on your favorite app!

Right-wing politics is laden with contradictions, but "We're the movement of authentic, traditional masculinity who have to ask for help sounding tough from the calculator" is one of the funnier ones.

Dear Democrats, You will never be able to triangulate your way through racism/sexism/transphobia, because pushing a lighter, politer form of bigotry is always a lose-lose proposition. The bigots want the uncut stuff, while normal people aren't drawn to cowards who sell out. Stand your ground.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

Also: a lot of decisions have been made about AI in ed by people who had not tried LLMs, did not understand how they work, were not in the classroom, did not really understand how students were likely to use them, and were driven by FOMO rather than by data/knowlege/understanding/learning.
