A seraphim with 3 orange pigeon eyes around one central pigeon eye, with gray pigeon wings in a trifecta around the central eye, and two gray wings in the back. There is a watermark for the artist that says C. J. Evelyn
I asked @artsbyjevelyn.bsky.social to manifest this thing I couldn’t get out of my head - a pigeon seraphim. And look!! Be not afraid!

To be clear, I’ve had people ask me for things that don’t exist because ChatGPT told them that it exists, but this is the first time I talked to someone whose sense of reality was fundamentally augmented in a negative way by the use of generative AI

Does anyone have a citation for this so I can feel the appropriate amount of schaudenfreude
Catching everyone up on last week's City Council preliminary library budget hearing for those who are keeping track of Mayor Mamdani's broken promises to our city libraries... open.substack.com/pub/prisoncu... - also sharing some next action steps.
my number 2 was "ICE agents can keep wearing their masks, but everything else from the neck down should be exposed"
it appears i've become more whimsical than i previously imagined, as my top spot is "It is acceptable to ghost only on the proviso that if the ghoster sees the ghostee in the wild, they act like a ghost, wooo-ing quietly" etc
Controversial but - students *perceive* they have been failed when what has happened is they have failed to understand information retrieval is a skill requiring effort. I don't believe a zero friction experience is realistic or desirable in learning, actually.
Me too, Brian, me too.

Image showing Mayor Mamdani looking frustrated, with a text overlaid that reads “NYC Public Library Action Network” at the top, and in large bold letters text that reads “Mayor Mamdani did not honor his commitment to allocate 0.5% of the city expense budget to NYC public libraries in his preliminary budget” and then in smaller font below, there is text that reads “visit NYCPLAN.ORG for more information”
While a candidate, @mayor.nyc.gov pledged to commit 0.5% of the city’s budget to public libraries.
Unfortunately, Mayor Mamdani has broken this promise in his preliminary FY27 budget, released yesterday, where he allocated 0.39% to libraries.
This amount is well below the promised 0.5%

Myers was the MVP sorry! I’m sorry! Sometimes the guy who does the thing he’s supposed to do the best is the most valuable person on the team!! 15 points from field goals alone HELLO
You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?
The whole special teams is MVP
Special teams :)
