Today, ironically, my essay for
@grantamag.bsky.social
on his Narcissus Complex is out, one month after his death. I was unable to bring myself to change the tenses during the final copy edits. Present still seems right to me.

I asked Norman Rockwell's granddaughter, Daisy Rockwell, about this use of her grandfather's work. She writes: "It goes without saying that they have completely misunderstood the meaning of the painting, which is tolerance for others and peaceful coexistence."

Public intellectual Cass Sunstein has lost it. About 20% of the content is footnotes starting like, "I asked Claude if it cares about its continued existence." "If and when AI has emotions, it has moral rights, and it should be entitled to legal rights as well."

Thomas and Barbara Metcalf have been so important to the study of South Asia, for decades. Thomas was influential in shaping and informing South Asian and British imperial studies at Cal and the wider world. He will be missed.

Again, if anybody had thought to talk to the translators that were among the very first guinea pigs for much of the underlying technology and workflows for over a decade, we could've told you this is exactly what would happen to your productivity. But who needs to put a face to translation anyway? 🥴

The Hallucinogenic Toreador (1969–70) uses repetition and negative spaces to create optical illusions. The same motif reappears until it clicks into a bullfighter, showing a masterful application of Dali's "paranoiac-critical method."

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.
