Springer hoping to be Gibson

Interviewing managers **during** an inning of Game 7 is insane.

The new museum was worth the wait! The collection looks fantastic, the "promised to museum" pieces in the Princeton Collects exhibit promise a great future collection, and the building itself is gorgeous. So happy to have this back in the neighborhood!

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

#NoKings Princeton

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

Getting ready to head out to Princeton today #nokings

What a despicable little man who is lying through his teeth to try to incite violence against Americans who will be peacefully assembling to protest the Trump regime’s anti-democratic rule.

Excellent! We need more Democrats calling for Hegseth *and* Trump to resign for incompetence and their hatred of America. Every D should be calling out Trump's dementia and psychopathy, calling for 25th Amendment and impeachment on every news interview. Flood the zone.

I don't think I ever bought anything from Kremer's while I lived in NYC in the early aughts, but I remember visiting a few times and being wowed by the small jars of powdered pigment, just pure material color.

I'm very happy to have my painting "After the Dance" in the group exhibition "Under the Influence", which opens this Friday, Oct 3 (reception 5-8pm) and runs through Jan 11, 2026. The show features artwork directly inspired by other pieces of art; mine was based upon Matisse's "Dance (I)" at MoMA.

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue. The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea. From Hinnerk Schulz-Hildebrandt: arxiv.org/pdf/2509.115...

Two more weekends to see my exhibition, "Marking Time", with Alan J Klawans, at @artistsgallery.bsky.social! Gallery hours are Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun 11am-6pm; located at 18 Bridge St, Lambertville, NJ. Up through Oct 5. #geometricabstraction

Ah, this is sweet. It amazes me how fast reaction-diffusion can run in Javascript (or shaders, or whatever is going on here) in a browser.

Roberts' #1 concern is said to be the institutional legitimacy of the court. If true, he could not be a more massive and complete failure. His weakness and cowardice leads to acquiescence, with the result that his court is an arm of a lawless regime completely at odds with the founders' vision.

According to Facebook, Friday the 13th occurs on a Saturday this year? ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

Pitchbot nails the present state of the USA, alas

My 2-person show with Alan J Klawans is up now at @artistsgallery.bsky.social (18 Bridge St, Lambertville, NJ) through October 5. Opening Reception Saturday, September 6, 4-6pm. Gallery hours: Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun 11am-6pm. Hope you can stop by to see it!

who the hell cares about the "moral high ground" at this point? And I do NOT say that lightly bc any other time of my life I would also be vehemently opposed. Things are so dire that Dems have no choice but to do so. When the opposing party gleefully and publicly announces they intend to cheat...

Image generation is amazing but still needs work! 😂 ChatGPT & Gemini

I really enjoyed this @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social pod about Covid & MAHA, but one thing it repeatedly revealed is a habit of liberals that drives me crazy. A short 🧵.

KBJ was already awesome but this is amazing...

Less than 3 weeks away from my 2-person exhibition, Marking Time, at @artistsgallery.bsky.social in Lambertville, NJ. The show runs from Sep 4-Oct 5 with an opening reception Sat Sep 6, 4-6pm. Here is "Sailing Away" (acrylic/canvas, 20"x20"), one of the many new geometric abstractions in the show.

This should be the stupidest thing ever (destroying a climate satellite), but it's probably only the ninetythird stupidest thing since January.

This month at @artistsgallery.bsky.social Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ, I have several older geometric abstractions on the walls. Here are Connections (30x24), Any Which Way (24x24), and Sierpinski Squared #3 (30x30), all acrylic paintings. Through Aug 31, Thu-Sun 11a-6p. #art #painting

I asked several LLMs to help coin a term for a corollary to Gell-Mann Amnesia related to LLMs instead of the news media. ChatGPT came up with Turing Amnesia, Gemini suggested The Turing Blindspot, but I think Claude has the best suggestion: Altman Amnesia.

My painting "Symmetry Series #9" is included in the 42nd edition of the Ellarslie Open at the Trenton City Museum in Cadwalader Park, Trenton, NJ. It's always a great show with a ton of excellent work from artists throughout the central NJ region. Up through September 7, 2025! #mathart #painting

Huge turnout for #NoKings in Princeton, NJ, this afternoon. This photo only captures a portion of the crowd that was in front of / to the side of me; many more also behind.

The problem with planting a wildlife-friendly yard is that you get wildlife.. that doesn't particularly care about your sanity or whatever damage they may be doing! This "ground" hog is going to town on a mulberry tree.

I have 5 paintings at @artistsgallery.bsky.social this month (18 Bridge St, Lambertville, NJ; Thu-Sun 11a-6p), including these two (acrylic on panel) from 2007, when many of my paintings were inspired by "Philosophy in the Flesh" by Lakoff & Johnson. "Arising", 24x24 inches "Understanding", 36x24

I pan-fried some frozen dumplings for lunch. After eating, I went back to clean up and found this Turing-type pattern in the oil. Wonder what kind of reaction-diffusion, perhaps, was going on to form this?

This is well worth your time. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social is one of our country's most effective and important leaders at this critical moment.

It would really be great if the LLMs could help with gardening, but they are just so often wrong. I asked ChatGPT what varieties of phlox are native to NJ and it listed divaricata, stolonifera, paniculata, & maculata. But stolonifera is *not* native to NJ.
