”O’Connor believes we should view culture as a public service in the same way as healthcare & education. He is unequivocal in his argument that the current status quo does not work.” Claire Sedgwick on Justin O’Connor’s important and thoughtful new Manchester University Press book. buff.ly/4gkOGJs

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

How oblivious to flirting are you? When I was 19-21, I was convinced that the girl that came to my apartment like 3 times a week and usually sat on my lap was just a good pal

I have so much to say about today’s case, legal analysis, and more. But the most powerful thing today was watching Chase Strangio argue in front of the court as the first trans attorney to do so. You could feel history, and nobody will ever take that away.

BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce: We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky! We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct. Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions. Let's get into it!

Ronnie Spector has what is easily the funniest quote in that new Beatles '64 documentary.

I saw a post on Facebook yesterday about a swan frozen to the ice on Reykjavík pond. People were wondering what could be done and there was a comment from this absolute legend pictured below saying: "I am on my way with the necessary gear". And there is just nothing cooler than people like this.

Non-artists: please gently let your well-intentioned niche blogger friends know that generating an AI illustration for their posts is not a harmless novelty. There are so many sources for free, eye-pleasing, not-environmentally-rapacious images. Creative Commons licenses, public domain art history.

📢NEW: 'Open' AI systems aren't open. The vague term, combined w frothy AI hype is (mis)shaping policy & practice, assuming 'open source' AI democratizes access & addresses power concentration. It doesn't. @smw.bsky.social, @davidthewid.bsky.social & I correct the record👇 nature.com/articles/s41...

‘…underground raves are free from all those limitations because they sprout in gray zones. (…) they skirt formal approval processes, neither supported nor suppressed by the state. (…) raves are about “refusing to be disciplined by society.”´ – on the fascinating rise of rave culture in China

Friends, this week marks a monumental step forward in my path towards pushing for a greater ecology of accountability in the age of AI. Thrilled to officially announce the AI Accountability Lab (AIAL) @theaial.bsky.social at Trinity College Dublin is launching today, Thursday Nov 28, 2024 aial.ie

@thec4aa.bsky.social Hey, I had a question for you. Could you follow me so I can send you a DM message? :)

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.
