Not just a meme, but a masterpiece – why the Mona Lisa earns its exalted place in art
Ceaselessly flocked by tourists at the Louvre Museum in Paris, Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa (1503-17) is perhaps the world’s most recognisable work of art.

I read the opening chapter of Ishiguro's The Remains of the Day through the lens of A Language Insufficiency Hypothesis and the notion of ontological grammar.
In a manner of speaking, this chapter is about the construction of the self and personal identity through grammar

Fantastic article schematizing the philosophical issues at the heart of the AI culture wars, from one of the most incisive contemporary philosophers I've come across to date.

“For decades now, Americans have been told that we should trust the system, but our children are sicker, chronic disease is exploding, and the answers that we’ve been given aren’t working,” Kennedy says in the teaser video. “Many of us have come to the conclusion that government actually lies to us.”
The video strikes an incredibly dark and conspiratorial tone, more in line with outsiders who complain about the system than someone now deeply entrenched with it. The whole thing comes off as very weird, given the fact that Kennedy isn’t resigning his position as head of the Department of Health and Human Services. He’s just adding “podcaster” to his list of duties.

More into nuclear and space tech, but solarpunk is so gorgeous whenever it draws on the Art Nouveau era...and back then no one did it like Alfons Mucha.
Three of his pieces, naturally named after gems as beautiful as their namesake maidens: "Topaz", "Amethyst", and "Emerald".

Yves-Marie André's (1675–1764) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yves_Marie_André] ‘Essay on Beauty’ (‘Essai sur le beau’, 1741) was an important work of 18th-century aesthetics. In the article on beauty in the 2nd volume (1752) of the ‘Encylopédie’, Denis Diderot praised André's system as the best he knew, elevating it above the work of Plato, Augustine, Wolff, Crousaz, Shaftesbury.
In 2010, I released a #CreativeCommons-licensed annotated English translation [https://archive.org/details/EssayOnBeauty]. I have just made an update: the PDF is now an accessible #TaggedPDF.
(The LaTeX tagging system is still under development [https://latex3.github.io/tagging-project/], but I have been adapting my LaTeX styles to be tagging-compatible.)
Although I was a much less practised typographer 16 years ago, I have left the overall design of ‘Essay on Beauty’ unchanged, contenting myself with minor improvements offered by an updated version of the Baskervald font, ensuring that line-end hyphenations follow the OUP standard, and a few other localized improvements.
