Tix to Pussy Riot in 2020. I’m still mad about it.
Motorcycles are perfect for this. A long ride or even some maintenance.
This is my favorite trick for creative work and problem solving. Load all the information and ideas in my head and if I don’t have clarity on the next step, go for a walk, run errands, engaging conversation with someone. By the time I return I’m racing to get down what my brain figured out.
Chicago wind gauge
It’s direct application of alt-right and manosphere doctrine. So many people irrevocably harmed by these smug shellfish.
Not what I wanted to see in my studio today. Rain coming in through the wall. I’m sure it’ll be attended to swiftly. It’ll be challenging to deal with drywall dust and wet paintings.
Art and books are enriched by the process of their creation. The time, the second guesses and wild chances taken to see where it takes you…these are why we read and soak in art of all kinds.
I have no interest in the calculations of machines shaped into an approximation of human experience.
UX researcher here 👋🏻 Yes, this will be quite bad.
Most of the critical things you need to uncover about your target customer is latent needs and behaviors. The kind of stuff that doesn’t exist in the training data fed into models. That’s why synthetic users produced by AI are garbage.
I say again for those in the back: Democrats are the controlled opposition. Familiarize yourself youtu.be/7uPevWDAYFI
MERKLEY: So when the VP said 'ICE agents have absolute immunity' in violating people's civil rights, he was effectively correct?
BIER: Effectively, yes. Right now as the law stands.
If you’re in Chicago 3/20-3/21, come through and see all the amazing artists and their work in their studios.
These leaders have the fortitude of overcooked applesauce.
What Chalamet did quite effectively is reveal that he doesn’t value or respect the people who raised him and the artist community that he grew up immersed in.
Before or after retrieving the cheese? I hope either the dog or the patriot got to enjoy the cheese.
A great piece articulating critical aspects of the work of building systems. It’s a tough thing to explain and you nailed it.
This may be my favorite sentence I’ve ever read. 👏🏼
“As an example, one of my distant ancestors died during the King Philip’s War because he left the safety of a fort to retrieve some cheese he had left behind when evacuating his house.”
Well hot damn! This is fabulous news.
I don’t check voicemails anymore because they are all spam.
Credit Scores wasn’t created until 1989
ICE wasn’t created until 2003
Abolish both
“User testing” is a tell. That nomenclature misstep shows a lack of expertise and the value of it.
Stuck in a mental morass lately. Gathering the food as you do, I saw a fabulous shade of blue with the moon plunked in the center.
Nothing will ever kill my awe for the unexpectedly beautiful in my every day.
Everyone at FEMA raised the alarm that this was coming since last year. No one is listening www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

What are the chances that this is Machine Translation, not AI.
Machine Translation, which we have had for a very very long time, where a sentence is matched to previously used (human) translated sentences. Usually then checked.
I don't know why we're suddenly calling tech we've had ages "AI"
The culprit
cat tax paid in full
Did you know that some older cats slurp when bathing themselves? Loudly.
I’m not going to suffer this experience alone.
Newsflash: DOJ to investigate itself
Came here to share these brothers because they rarely sit together now that they are “mature”
This is what happens when the work needed is knowledge work, but only production is valued. Traveling the path to get the end result is what makes it have any value at all.
TIL there is a style of paintbrush called “cat’s tongue”. Like a filbert but pointed in the center. Of course I bought one.
