STUNNING "Traditionally, wearing blankets was functional, but I thought, If fashion evolves, why can’t Native wearable art evolve too? So I used metallic thread to make the blanket shimmer, adapting an old form to a contemporary aesthetic." hyperallergic.com/1014669/mari...

My old blog has been dead for a while but this still feels like the passage of tech time.

There’s only one shirt to wear when you’re going in for a cortisone shot in your back.

I’m not to disagree w Sam J.

Who else in GenX basically got a polisci degree from Doonesbury?

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together. Help keep it strong. Join our monthly donors today: n.pr/458sOhq

The discovery represents one of the last undocumented Easter eggs from the pre-Steve Jobs return era at Apple.

What’s a good name for that half-smile that you give to someone you pass in the office hallway? Like you’re acknowledging you see them but you don’t know them…

Just got around to reading Sam Altman's latest missive, "The Gentle Singularity." I am astounded by his sheer amount of denial and self-delusion about the current state of the actually-existing world. blog.samaltman.com/the-gentle-s...

Thank you to my son and his day care for this terrifying Father’s Day gift.

Our work on Great Zimbabwe used surface hydrology, ethnographic survey and geoarc to show that dhaka pits, previously interpreted as clay pits, were likely intended to collect and store water. These smart local adaptations to water scarcity are so interesting www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Technical logic only goes so far before it bumps up to organic systems. We need to think of the humanities less like reading nice novels to training people to: - reframe - think/reflect - connect complex influences - see patterns - communicate The “last mile” of effective technology

WATCH: “I WAS AN INTERPRETER IN AFGHANISTAN FOR 3 YEARS.” ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal. Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.

I’ll say it. Spring is fine as long as that means no temps over 75f. Summer is overrated Fall and Winter rule

This letter, written by a 15 year old and published in the Fall 1992 issue of InterAction magazine, criticizes Sierra for giving in to the "whacko commie liberal environmentalists" with its release of EcoQuest. "As long as we keep getting letters like this, we'll keep making games like EcoQuest."

Hell of a photo

Literally age-old dynamic where the new tech becomes the villain. The crossbow was a villain. Then much later, robots, then cyborgs, (along the way Arabs, Russians, etc) have all been default villains. We add evil to the things we don’t understand.

The artist is Josan Gonzalez and he is a brilliant artist. Picked up his Future is Now books on kickstarter. Recognized his work the instant I saw it. www.iamag.co/the-art-of-j...

this is just like the parable of the scorpion and the scorpion

In the field of political science, we use the scholarly term "shit's popping off" to describe what's happening today.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

I don't think this pic is the positive flex that the company that posted it thinks it is.

We need bundled purchasing for news sources. Let me sign up and then pick like @theverge.com and @theinformation.com and whoever else but I can manage the subs through one interface. I'm just at a saturation point where its not about $ cost is the mental cost of managing yet ANOTHER site/pw/payment

Can we talk about legislation that stops tech companies from naming things based on LOTR?

This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received. Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙

Please don’t use my friend’s name to make this point in this way, especially inaccurately. He was *not* sentenced. And the JSTOR articles he wanted people to have unfettered access to, including for purposes of machine learning analysis, are also copyrighted material. You can just critique OpenAI.

Yall do know a) that this cycle is like a natural law or anything right? B) that it’s literally a “hype” cycle and doesn’t represent the state or utility of a given technology. Y’all get that right?

We lost Peter David. He wrote the definitive (12 yr) run of the Hulk. I hope he’s in a better place now but our world is dimmer without him in it. And the fact that anyone still loves to write or draw comic books is such a gift from the universe. bleedingcool.com/comics/hulk-...

No pun intended but I felt this one in my bones. #anthropology

Who needs ARGs when supply chains just do this

Love this thread.

Underline or highlight?

Don't feel so bad if you didn't crush it today. The Rangers infield definitely didn't.
