This was one of the most amazing things I saw at the Seattle Asian Art Museum recently—this cube of intricately cut metal, lit from within, that turned the whole room into an artistic interplay of darkness and light. Casting all the visitors into the installation; shadows on the walls.
So much I love about this story.
Dudes crying about their rights to harass women....

A New York airport authority rejected sexual harassment lawyer Megan Thomas's ad copy and asked her to tone it down, so she filed a free speech lawsuit. The judge took her side, and now she has two massive ads on full display.

IT'S #MONSTERDON
we will be watching:
The Monster That Challenged the World (1957)
"An earthquake doesn't just shake up Southern California -- it awakens a nest of monsters lurking in the Salton Sea. These bloodthirsty sea snails are gobbling up anyone who sets foot in the water."

please watch and live post it

The Big Bad Wolf of Hormuz:
"Open the door you motherfuckers or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll bloooooooow your house down!"
I don't think “emboldened" is the right word for this obscene and racist tirade. Perhaps one or more of the following:
Frenzied.
Violent.
Frustrated.
Enraged.
Berserk.
Okay, not gonna lie, I love this video from Burhan Azeem about how to fix and expand the T and his candidacy for MA state senate. I'm totally with him on expanding the transit network -- needs more details, but he's got the right energy & emphasis, imo.

There's a particular strawman response to the concerns that LLMs damage literacy, impair learning, etc that goes like "well people said the same thing about the calculator!" "Socrates said writing would make people dumb!" and the reason it's a shit take is it pretends that pedagogy just doesn't exist. We _do_ study the effect of various technologies and methods used in teaching. We _know_ that certain methods of teaching reading are ineffective and damaging, three-cueing for example.
It is in fact anti-science to believe that all concerns about new technologies and methods being damaging are automatically invalid, especially in the face of mounting evidence supporting those concerns.
