Now that Rebecca’s back at work, these boys are back to joining me in the office.
Two dogs, one predominantly black and one predominantly white, sit in vaguely color-corresponding little beds on the floor of a nondescript home office. A book shelf and a side table are behind them, against the wall of the office.

Found out last night I got first place in arts criticism (the Jim Ridley award) from AAN for my work at the @portlandmercury.com aan.org/aan/announci... (couldn't have done it w/out my editor @suzettesmith.bsky.social and congrats to fellow PDXers, 2nd and 3rd @chancesp.bsky.social and Nolan Parker)
Arts Criticism (Jim Ridley Award)
First Place: Film Criticism – Dom Sinacola – Dom Sinacola – Portland Mercury

A decent critic can get you to read something about a film you’re unlikely to watch. But one as talented as Dom might actually compel you to stream it. And so I am about to check out “Train Dreams” despite his rather brilliant warning that “A work like this, which is about the connectedness of all living things, does not belong on Netflix, where any sense of community goes to die.”

A historic landmark in Portland with such an astounding view of the city that you can't take a bad picture there if you tried, and they go with this obvious and godawful AI slop... everything is bad, folks, and your greyhounds are horses now
screengrab from Reddit, user pale_lettuce1:

Pittock mansion using AI

then a picture of a mailer or brochure with a very bad AI picture on it a woman feeding a small dog, flanked by an impossibly horse-sized greyhound and a house cat that is comparatively at least 3 ft tall, all set on a part of the Pittock Mansion grounds that can't possibly be real, given the angle and vista
