I Have Forgotten The Concept Of Time

I actually find it pretty damning that plenty of people are willing to overlook a guy having the actual no-joke SS logo permanently etched on his skin because he says a handful of the right lefty buzzwords, despite his actual job history demonstrating absolutely no adherence to those principles.

‘A Sentient Land’ is Emerson’s own Walden Pond In the middle of Downtown Boston, between mounds of dirt-caked snow and seemingly never-ending gray concrete, a posthumanist oasis stands. No, it's not Boston Common, but Emerson Contemporary’s very o...

Emerson Contemporary is a wonderful little FREE museum near the AMC theater on the Commons.

This work is immersive and has work ranging from the vast to the infinitesimal. One artist traced the path of tiny beetles in gold on a branch. Another made a soundscape by recording trees talking. #ArtSky

Highly recommend that folks see

"A Sentient Land: Aesthetic Alliances with Forests, Beetles, Salt, and Air" at Emerson College. It has works at the intersections of science, aesthetics, and spirituality.

Artists: Margaux Crump, Julia Krupa, Eileen Ryan, Nelly-Eve Rajotte

Until: March 28 #ArtSky

This is just a shitpost, but there's something to the idea that

Almost every design choice and optimization for large language model-based "AI" comes from the designers' terror of ever hearing the words "you're wrong" or even just "no."

There’s a few intersections I go through as a pedestrian in silver spring Maryland where turning drivers are notorious for this. I’ve almost gotten hit at least once. It’s especially bad at rush hour.

I think some scenes had that kind of shadowy noir style, but some of it felt too “bright “ it’s hard for me to think of anything in color film being shot like a noir. I’d have to rewatch but I think some of it had more of a thriller feel to shooting decisions, which makes sense

I never did a true lit review, but when I did sort of a combined review / paper prep where we had to report sources we looked at for a paper, even ones we thought we wouldn’t use, it actually changed the direction of the paper.

I'll take this in one more direction. How about when you're reading for a lit review and you come across something that's NOT relevant, but you mentally file it away, and then years later, it becomes the cornerstone of something else? A whole new project? gAI can't do this.

yeah, like...the point is not to *create* a literature review usually. there's so many published reviews on, say, the genomics of speciation that it's a little weird to think the goal is to publish yours, esp as a new student. but by *doing* it, you actually understand the field!

okay, Ill bite.
What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.

Everybody gets hit with Body Stuff, but white women and the thinness thing is just diabolical. Like…they want y’all to look you’ve been surviving off cotton balls soaked in milk and roach carcasses.

Had a weird dream where I needed a bandaid and my friend had a giant sheet of Pokémon ones (newspaper sized, all perforated) with one for each original Pokémon, so I used one. And immediately afterwards I was all “oh shit I just ruined a collectors item” and she cried. Anyway, those would be cool

Good article, but the framing is wrong. There is not a dearth of interest in taxonomy. There is a scarcity of funding and positions, which is a deliberate choice by funding agencies and institutions. The youth love taxonomy! It's the olds that are failing to meet their passion!

Front view of a pale orange ruched velvet dress with long sleeves and a long skirt. It has ruching around the neck and a matching cap

Back view of the pale orange 1930s velvet dress that shows the wide sleeves and drape of the skirt

A partial view of the 1930s pale orange velvet dress that highlights the ruching at the neckline and shows the matching cap with silk bow at the back

This looks as if it were a fun wedding dress worn by Arline Nelson in 1935. The dress itself is all kinds of crinkled velvet loveliness but that little matching cap! #NewfieldsToday #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Objectively, what is the funniest piece of furniture?

Ticktin shows how innocence focuses on individual victims and saviors, foreclosing forms of collective responsibility. She wants to understand this function, while showing that alternative political forms already exist.

Both photos were taken by the extremely talented Mindy Tucker.

Let's fucking go

Neil is so knowledgeable about the city and about the nuts and bolts of American architectural history writ large — this is going to be a great project

The fetishization of a sickly level of thinness has reached such disturbing heights. I'm afraid for young women and girls who internalize this shit. It feels as bad as the 90s, when I was a teenager. I remember sitting in class and hearing very thin girls talk about how Cindy Crawford was "fat."
