• Google Al Overview: Yes, a nuanced analysis can support an extreme position, provided the conclusion is grounded in evidence and a thorough examination of the complexities of an issue. Nuance refers to appreciating subtle distinctions and variations, not an inherent obligation to find a moderate or centrist compromise.

ironically:

As an example, “My extreme conclusion is nuanced by knowledge, experience, and incisive intellectual argument.”

an almost symmetrical arrangement of 6 reusable metal coffee-pod lids, each with 4 nipples, at the periphery of a plastic coffee coffee canister lid. In the centre of the lid is a stack of 6 coffee pods. The coffee canister lid is located on the central burner of a gas stove-top There its a coffee canister on the lower left burner and a metal water kettle on the upper right burner. The photograph is high contrast with a nickel color filter. I call this "nipples and pods 321".

An fyi to friends, after a rough day and night, feeling so much better this morning. I think the culprit really was that Thai restaurant after all.

Tina Brown Thinks the Über-Rich Have It Coming

Even in a simple interview Tina Brown beams astute formulation, daring wit and incisive metaphor. Fun read! Unlocked article from The New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/m...

A micro-marker on paper lined drawing. Shaded, concentric irregular oblong shapes arranged to make a human face. Long finger-like leaves are arranged for the chin and forehead.

A weird drawing that took me all evening:

This has been one of my favorite accounts since the other place, because their cameras and nest boxes give such a wonderful look at how the wildlife in our yards live.

I am going to share this with my students next semester in my Mathematical Design class. It's great to have people talk about exploring the possibilities of functions.

Hah! Thanks!

Well, there you go. Thai, ffs.

My excuse for sharing this is that the virus has made me stupid.

Worst colitis ever today after eating at what used to be my favorite Tai restaurant yesterday. Ten trips to the elimination station. I know, I know TMI. No blood or fever blessedly, so not likely autoimmune or serious infection and the flood ~is~ decelerating. Look at me self-diagnosing. Tsk, tsk.

Up there amongst the most amazing museum exhibits I’ve seen - so worth a visit

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:

Showing the gallery with the second virtual exhibition of visual artist Kera Damo

🙌 I welcome you to visit my second virtual exhibition.

The artworks are not for sale (yet), but if you do see one that you want to hang as an actual physical print in your hallway for example, do get in touch and I will arrange it for you.

Enjoy!

A sculpture of a grotesque head with a scowling face, all covered in masking tape for now.

I've chopped some parts off and added some parts -- I even cut the whole lower mouth and chin off and moved them down half an inch -- and I'm calling this thing ready for paper mache. Fwiw there's no way anyone will be able to guess what this guy is for many more steps...

So glad they are stepping up.

Looking forward to episode 3. Episode 2 won me over. Carol's internal conflict and the atmospheric surrealism was engaging. Truly codependent.

Yeah,I love this show too so far. There's an engaging and interesting external struggle, sure, but the internal one fascinates me even more.
