I know it's harder and more dangerous to carve a turnip but the effect is so much more disturbing, and thus in keeping with the season

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Given the increasing authoritarianism in the UK, and threats against peaceful protest, I’m reminded of this project by Tamás St. Turba, Czechoslovak Radio in 1968. As possessing a radio was banned, he painted bricks to look somewhat like them, which were then banned also.

Beloved, visionary Fanny Howe, a beacon of ferocity, honesty & integrity—a fighter in all senses of the term—has moved on. Read her. The powerful voice does not depart. It only grows louder…. 1940-2025

Having done a dozen or more of these Miami games in person, I feel entirely comfortable saying that Philly treats Messi with less reverence than any other MLS crowd. Legendary sports fans, obviously, and some of the only who actively boo him at almost all times.

There were no babies in poetry then. How could that have been? What are we leaving out now? Usually what's exactly in front of the eyes ears nose and mouth, in front of the mind, but it seems as if one must disobey everyone else in order to see at all. Alice Notley

They are obsessed with replacing the wrong tasks, because they don't actually see work as a problem to be solved. They see family as a problem to be solved.

At first glance, the specimens in Mandy Barker's images appear like a fragment of a leaf or a scatter of organic material, but upon closer inspection, they reveal details of unraveled polyester or scraps of nylon tights.
