Finally getting around to reading this, and somewhat surprised by how much I'm enjoying it. The conversational format, the reflections on archaeology as "presencing the past", the subtle but meaningful disagreements between Lucas and Olivier. Good stuff. www.routledge.com/Conversation...

They are EVERYWHERE this season. Doesn’t matter where you go or don’t go, do frequent tick checks #HamOnt. I’ve seen the worse case scenario of long term undiagnosed Lyme disease via a childhood friend. You don’t want this.

The gizmo works well! Half dark slide pano on the Bronica ETRSi and some trix. #believeinfilm

Panos with this gizmo. There are negs! But how did the Bronica ETRSi do with a 50mm lens once cut in half? #believeinfilm

This Kurt Vile album slowly becoming one my faves of the year. youtu.be/Yx6Fc4fVh68?...

5/ Indigenous rights are not optional. They are law.

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. But celebration without truth is not enough. Reconciliation means honouring Treaties, upholding Indigenous rights, implementing the Calls to Action, and respecting Indigenous self-determination.

With the 30th anniversary of Canada’s Indigenous Peoples Day happening this weekend, let’s take a look at several ways that the Carney government is undermining the rights and well being of Canada’s indigenous peoples and undoing progress on reconciliation rather than advancing it. 🧵1/

Our wonderful collaborator Santee Smith, who is contributing to our @sshrc-crsh.canada.ca funded experimental pottery production/foodways project, just installed a replica of her father's pottery in Obama's Presidential Center. So cool. Story here news.mcmaster.ca/artwork-by-s...

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

The incomparable biocultural anthropologist Jon Marks (@jontheanthroman.bsky.social) wrote this excellent response to the Vanderbilt report, taking a different tack than other responses by asking the question that is the title of the post.

Carney's gLib cabinet can now allow use of harmful pesticides, overriding science. People's health & the environment take a back seat. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"Ben owns a farm. He employs 100 workers. His total payroll is $10 million/year. One day, he buys a mule, which provides the worker who uses it with a modest 10% productivity gain. Ben fires 99 of his workers and purchases 99 mules, expecting a 1,000% productivity gain..."

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Oil and gas shill. That's all we are seeing. thenarwhal.ca/carney-canad...

Come to the table kids, the chuño is finally ready!

I don’t want to hear “But better than the other guy” from fellow Canadians again. Carney is just a different kind of awful.

PM CEO says bombing school, plunging hundreds of millions into hunger and poverty was ‘worth it’. Capitalism rots your soul, kids. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Geeesh. Mbappe and Messi today.

Really a terrific thread, and mirrors some of my experiences and thoughts. Honestly fuck university upper admin for acquiescing to this.

Last and least, FWIW, my current AI policy for students. Subject to revision. Recommendations welcome.

I just learned that the term "carbon footprint" was developed by BP to offload responsibility for climate change onto individuals. Something like that's happening in higher ed with AI. Institutions capitulate or dodge; students are submitting; & they believe it's their individual failing. 7/

This is at Dartmouth College, where our president cut a deal with Anthropic--which stole the books of 133 faculty--without faculty consultation. Soon, there'll be a Claude for every student. They're already there. They feel like there's no escaping it. & they don't like it.

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

The Met put its entire collection online for free so I made a game out of it! 10 artifacts a day, and you guess where and when each one's from. Anthropeum.com if anyone wants to give it a shot and leave feedback :) #history #archeology #arthistory #museums

Iran New Zealand game by far best so far. Terrific footy

Iran-New Zealand might be the best match of the World Cup so far

Wow that Iranian goal is the best I’ve seen at the World Cup.

Hi, we saw you from across the bar, and we'd like to give you health care.

multiculturalism is pretty great

am i crazy or did seattle also elect a socialist mayor before winning the super bowl? it may have been in reverse order or maybe i'm imagining things

Elect a socialist mayor, win an NBA title. It’s as simple as that.

Hard agree

Kid: "Your foot is like a 3D printer that prints toenails."

Anthropological research on subsistence is offered in the dangerous and authoritarian “report” on the humanities as a key example of supposed ideological weakening of scholarship. This critique begins to show how the key example cited actually proves the opposite. Let’s go into it in some depth 1/
