Our latest virtual museum environment - an art gallery - was inspired by this very building. A beauty.

It’s by no means a broad-spectrum litmus test, but banning Pratchett has to set off some kind of international klaxon.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Glasgow is positioning itself as the UK’s 3D content creation capital. A new working group brings together UofG, @glasgowschoolofart.bsky.social, @cofgcollege.bsky.social and industry partners to support growth in immersive tech, animation and digital design. More: gla.ac/483GFHL

Wholesome pub life for the weans. Fleadh Cheoil, Wexford.

In 1967, philosopher of language Michael Dummett and his wife, the author Ann Dummett, were arrested for picketing against racial discrimination, charged with public disorder, but acquitted upon an official admission that the police, not protesters, had obstructed passage.

Fake news. AI slop. Cannot actually be real.

This has spurred an existential crisis in me, by Toutatis!

I’d say “what have we become?” But I just can’t own the “we”. Fucksakes.

New paper forthcoming in the British Journal of Aesthetics on perception of VR: philpapers.org/rec/FISVRS TLDR: Virtual reality offers a different experience to most other images. Yet VR also often contains elements that distinguish it from regular perception, which can help prevent harms! 1/9

I've made a series of individual match posters for Celtic's European Cup run in 1967 before, but never a standalone design until now. Prints available on the shop if you fancy one! madebyfrankie.bigcartel.com

@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social did I miss “Deep Cover” review? Or is it too new/too streaming-y? I thought it was a total riot. Haven’t laughed that hard at a film since… Booksmart, maybe?

Deary me. Dysfunction abounds in Celtic recruitment.

Always

This museum is the state of the art imo.

OTOH, @neilmcdonnell.bsky.social and co at Glasgow are exploring new business models in Museums in the Metaverse, to be able to commercially license 3D heritage and send micropayments back to heritage orgs for model reuse. Residuals for 3D heritage content usage? Nice.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

Calculated cruelty.

Colour me completely unsurprised. But if third terms are on the table then perhaps Obama should be warming up.

Not scientific, as he says, but this is uncomfortably plausible re: twitter manipulation.

@willdalrymple.bsky.social I am enjoying Empire immensely, and learning so very much that school should have and didn’t teach me. I am so grateful to you and @anitaanand.bsky.social But you, pal, are on thin ice. I have counted two episodes with egregious Britain=England conflation. 3=trouble!
