Soapy Window I, NYC Ernst Haas, 1966

The thing is that this has been true for a long time. Thinking that liberal arts degrees are impractical is received wisdom that collapses under the slightest scrutiny. This claim is only "counterintuitive" if you have bad intuition about higher ed, and, accidentally and on purpose, most people do.

Andrew Wyeth. Winter. 1946. This is the first painting Wyeth made after the death of his father, the illustrator N. C. Wyeth, in a car accident just over this same hill.

This rather creepy photo is Artemis II’s heat shield underwater, as taken by the U.S. Navy. This is the first photo we have of the heat shield, and upon initial examination it doesn’t seem to have the char loss that Artemis I’s had.

“There are hints of Orwell’s 1984 in this sort of manipulation of language, manipulation of the truth… The whole thing reads like a scenario for, on the 1 hand, a sort of new movie, & also a new blueprint for a kind of militaristic religion…” JG Ballard, 3/11/03 We miss you Jim x

There was literally a pangolin that flew combat sorties with the CIA in a dirty war in Laos that then died after drinking too much gin, so there’s at least one pangolin whose record is morally ambiguous

I know things are tight all around, but if any of you have a little to share to help fund this fascinating project uniting poets & printmakers, UNCHARTED TERRITORIES, it would be very welcome indeed www.zeffy.com/en-US/fundra...

2/2 The eyes. Looking right at you.

🖤 and yes, I've thought about "Kingdom Come" often in recent times, flags everywhere. As Toby Litt says, revising his previous opinion of KC: "...as he’d so often been before, Ballard was embarrassingly, terrifyingly on the money. He never disdained the obvious and so always discerned the imminent.”

This is how octopuses actually throw things [🙏🏻]

okay i change my mind, THIS is one of the best and most beautiful images from artemis ii

And here’s the eclipse photo from Artemis II. I am in tears.

“We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.” W. B. Yeats

Fairly famous video of a badger and coyote together using a culvert going under a busy road near the Southern Santa Cruz Mountains, in California. Video from hours earlier showed them together going in this direction, so this video seems like them going home.

I’ve worked on older automation projects (not using AI) and I’ve seen plenty of evidence of this behaviour. I even came up with a rule of thumb: for every step the rules-based system took towards automating a human step, the user retreated two steps. Basic thinking went right back in the shell.

"A man would shelter, if he could in the nook behind this new plywood. The building, abandoned, the man is too. How I wish you'd imagine if that it were you" Seen in Rochester, New York

I cannot tell you how totally I ache for these to be real.

Please repost & help me find a home (UK) for Johnny. Needed through absolutely no fault of his own - details in alt text. Scottish Borders but will travel. Many thanks.

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Going to Xiu Xiu Eraserhead later. I watched the film again last night and to see all this again after everything that followed especially Twin Peaks: A Limited Event Series, well there's something inexplicably magical about the coherence & abiding notes of Lynch's language & vibes, exceptional 🖤

There's always a Don't Invent The Torment Nexus. In the early 60s JG Ballard wrote a story called Studio 5, The Stars, in which creatives put prompts into the "Verse Transcriber" to get a tickertape of poetry or other writings. They live in a very comfortable dystopia: privileged but bored.
