Who doesn't remember where they were the day the mile-high dog attacked Pisa?
Commemorative plate marked '26th Incontro Internazionale, Pisa 2008', painted with the image of a Newfoundland dog looming above landmarks of Pisa (including the Leaning Tower).

Honestly I increasingly think a lot of it is people who know about IT but not about philosophy arguing with people who know about philosophy but not IT. Obviously as someone who knows about both everyone should just listen to me.

one of my least favourite leftist trends is people deciding on some moral stance as an individual and then telling people if they disagree they are ‘crossing a picket line’ there’s something so neoliberal about conflating an organised workplace with ~online vibes~

I guess it's kind of hard to view the dismissal of one grublike phrenologist as a major hit to free speech after major American universities have in the past year banned the use of words and eliminated entire departments in the hopes of pleasing the senile president

between ‘autism/ADHD isn’t real,’ ‘postpartum depression isn’t real,’ and ‘being transgender/nonbinary isn’t real,’ it’s impossible not to see the outline of the overarching strategy: the systematic erasure of every modern moral obligation of compassion and justice. This is just where it starts.

Many people think this but it's not true! Data centers are a small rounding error compared to agriculture. And it pains me that this is the case as a golf hater but golf no longer consumes meaningful amounts of water as most courses in the southwest have switched to graywater irrigation

I think the ultimate test of this is actually Boris Johnson. Boris *was fired from his first job* for making up stories, only to go on to be hired into a prestigious role at the Telegraph and spend years lying about the EU at Brussels. And I mean literally lying here; not bad punditry.

quit whining about paywalls and figure out how to do the reading or shut up
NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK
Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh?
Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and
know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?
It won't do!
It won't do!
You must investigate!
You must not talk nonsense!

i've heard that "the wine-dark sea" is meant to refer to a property of, like, lustrousness and depth rather than actual color, but also today the toddler was staring at the sea, pointing at its bands of color flowing outwards and shrieking in (accurate) delight: "green sea, blue sea...PURPLE sea!!"

This amazing poem, with alt
HOW WE DISAPPEAR

I am in the store touching things.
Linen napkins, a blue bowl.
The world is on fire and I am choosing 
between two kinds of soap.

Everyone here is doing this, filling carts 
with small comforts while somewhere a child 
goes to bed hungry, while the earth heats, 
while men make decisions about who gets to live.

I know what this is, this careful arranging 
while everything collapses.
This is how we survive.
And also how we disappear.

CILIP (used to be the Library Association but uhhhhh things happened) have a new website. Others are noticing the images fall into the wtf/AI slop category. And haven't been checked. I can't stop laughing at the calculator on their Salary Guide page. Of all pages. www.cilip.org.uk/learn-develo...

My spiciest take, which will please precisely nobody, is that AI films are bad not because they were dreamt up by a mindless algorithm but because they are 3D animation, which is all soulless and cursed and always has been.
