PLUS!!! A special performance by “The Daniil Kharms,” more of a musical collective than a band, of English translations of short stories written by the famous absurdist poet Daniil Kharms.

New op-ed with Claire Leibowicz! I'll raise my own hand for on occasion turning to an LLM for emotional sensemaking & it's clear to me that AI can have *some* role in the mental landscape, even if it's just as a stopgap or referral source to other care. At the very least, we gotta talk about it!

Joseph Beuys: another unsuspecting bog fan! In Beuys' "Eine Aktion im Moor" or "Bog Action" (1971), he "directly physicalised the rich diversity of the bogscape by enveloping himself in its fabrics." www.sculptureintheparklands.org/peatlands.html

This black and white photograph shows a person wading through a swamp or marshy area. The individual is submerged up to their chest in water, wearing a light-colored shirt, dark vest or overalls, and a dark fedora-style hat. They appear to be making their way through the water with effort, surrounded by tall reeds and marsh grass that frame the scene. The water's surface creates rippling reflections that extend across the foreground of the image. The stark contrast and documentary-style composition gives the photograph a dramatic, journalistic quality, capturing the challenging nature of traversing this wetland environment.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

Not only this, but the plights of unhoused people in the LA fires have gone virtually ignored, despite the fact that the city has one of the country's largest homeless populations. I wrote about this for @motherjones.com yesterday: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Losing your home is hell—but so is being unhoused in a wildfire
