It's impossible for me to read the headlines today and not be reminded of the film's depiction of violence as entertainment.

One detail that astonishes me is its view on entertainment: only two channels, sex and violence. There's a scene where a character is flipping between two holographic projections: a person seductively dancing, the other shows an authority figure beating a vulnerable person.

I think about George Lucas' THX 1138 a lot. If you don't know it, the film preceded Star Wars and was his directorial debut. It explores a dystopian future...

1925 vs 2025. The US now builds more three-car garages than one-bedroom apartments. www.npr.org/2023/05/08/1...

I don't know enough to say for sure, I assume some combination of the quality of the original exposure (how much tonal data was captured) and the math driving the publicly available algos. I just colorized this photo of Abe and tinkered with the saturation in Photoshop and the result is richer.

When I encounter a B&W image, wherever on the web, I immediately stop to colorize and sharpen it. It's astonishing how much a long span of time compresses when you can recast the distant past in the color of the present. I'm using Deep AI, is there a better tool you like? deepai.org/machine-lear...

I don't mind public funding for stadiums. What kills me is when public funding is used to build stadiums out in suburbs with no mass transit connections, ensuring all of that car dependency and surface parking for another few decades.

This is what a lot of US news sites look like in Europe.

Gamble to visit Sicily in November paid off. Four days of matte blue skies and a yolky sun just hanging around over in the corner, glowing like furnace in a drafty room.
