“Wed-ness-day” and “Pho-ee-nix” are still with me!

SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL (cc: @proprietous.bsky.social)

I just can’ttttttt. This was already a stale trope by the ‘90s (maybe earlier)! At least pick a different category! “Not a big market for wrought iron these days”?

Big exhibition on the Shakers opening later this month at the Institute for Contemporary Art here in Philly! Just in case you find yourself wandering through town :B

I really and truly need people to understand that a chatbot does not and cannot know anything. Like, I need them to understand that in their bones. It is very good at looking like it knows something, but it does not and cannot know anything.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

Our digital repositories team spends a great deal of their time now simply protecting our commoned public digital resources from bots. This insatiable, aimless, destructive desire to excrete novel slop is impeding our access to — and even damaging — our cultural heritage + vetted public knowledge.

This really is my true form, thank you @makinaro.com for capturing my nerdful hauteur so perfectly 😂❤️

I commissioned Maki to do a snooty portrait of me to match the one he made of @colinfanning.bsky.social in his comic "The Hermit" (get it here: maki-naro.square.site/product/the-...).

Maki not only knocked mine out of the park but insisted on touching up Colin's. He's the best!!! Look at us!!!
