Large Language Muddle | The Editors The AI upheaval is unique in its ability to metabolize any number of dread-inducing transformations. The university is becoming more corporate, more politically oppressive, and all but hostile to the ...

“When we use generative AI, we consent to the appropriation of our intellectual property by data scrapers. We stuff the pockets of oligarchs with even more money…”

And then this one this morning at Rockaway, which we rescued from the waves!

I’m having a monarch weekend. There was this one yesterday in my community garden plot.

Where Are the Intellectuals? - Open Source with Christopher Lydon We’re with the cultural historian Robin D.G. Kelly at UCLA, who has the nerve to ask: where have our thinkers gone in Trump time? Not the experts or the influencers, but the grander minds who ...

As usual Robin D.G. Kelly is spot on.

Wordpress is fine for newsletters, right? Anything I should know?

The names of most of these people are publicly identified and someone will leak everyone who attends.

Excited to check out "One Week to Change the World: An Oral History of the 1999 WTO Protests" by D.W. Gibson after reading E. Tammy Kim's review in @nybooks.com.

"As I read the book today, I’m more struck by the broad appeal, and hijacked potential, of the movement."

Congrats NYC public school parents! We made it to the first day of school. 😮‍💨

Happy to be in pretty great company!

Yes.

Anyway, gotta get offline and head to my event. We're already living under fascism so we might as well live into our actual values. We might as well take risks and embrace new ways of being and doing. We should reject the status quo whenever possible. We should reject warmed over garbage.

Andrea Carlson, Portage, 2008, on view at the Hudson River Museum in the stunning “Smoke in Our Hair: Native Memory and Unsettled Time.” The show closes Sunday! Go! Hard to believe I saw this work back in 2008 in Andrea’s studio while writing about her work for the McKnight Foundation.

A view of “Last Art School,” a project by Lindsey White, hosted by the 205 Hudson Gallery at Hunter College.

Toronto! Tomorrow.

Among the gems at the Jewish Museum’s Ben Shahn show: a 1964 study for Gandhi’s hand and the resulting screenprint and illustration for Look Magazine.

And then of course there’s Yuji Agematsu at the Judd Foundation nearby. 🥀
