Edvard Munch@edvardmunch.bsky.social · 13h ago

Train Smoke (1900) belongs to the run of fjord landscapes Munch painted around the turn of the century. Smoke, spruce tops and shoreline are all reduced to simple shapes with clear outlines, as Munch applied the Art Nouveau style of the moment to a passing train.

This is pretty fabulous - a watercolour of Whistler in his studio, painting his mother. By his boatman Walter Greaves, son of Charles Greaves who had been JMW Turner’s boatman. Currently on display at the small but perfectly formed “Magic and Mess: The Artist's Studio Revealed” at Leighton House

A watercolour of a large room with high windows on the left. The painting of Whistler’s mother takes up a large part of the room, with Whistler standing a metre or two away, brush in hand, looking poised to dart in and add a stroke. Various painting accoutrements are also seen in the room, including an angled table with many small compartments at top for mixing Whistler’s fluid paints (which he called his “sauce”)

I'm sure this has nothing to do with the AI management system they rolled out nationwide yesterday... gizmodo.com/the-faa-is-r...

The FAA Is Rolling Out Its AI Air Traffic Tool Nationwide

The FAA has reassured the public and airlines that SMART only suggests routes and doesn't affect air safety.

⚠️ Issued by the FAA just moments ago, ALL US airports are currently ground stopped. This means NO flights may depart for US airports. Flights already in the air will be allowed to land. This is related to an FAA equipment outage.

DUE TO EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES AND FOR REASONS OF SAFETY. ATTENTION ALL AIRCRAFT OPERATORS, BY ORDER OF THE FEDERAL AVIATION COMMAND CENTER ALL AIRPORTS ARE GROUND STOPPED. ALL DEPARTING TRAFFIC SHOULD REMAIN GROUND STOPPED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. INBOUND INTERNATIONAL FLIGHTS WILL BE MANAGED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.

A month before The Atlantic published her claims that Kundizeza's story was AI-generated, that writer profiled the AI detection tool she later used to make the claims in The Atlantic piece. And apparently Penguin Random House is using the same tool? What a steaming pile of 💩

Screenshot of Vauhini Vara's Sep 16, 2026 post on Bluesky linking to her profile in Bloomberg of AI detection tool Pangram Text: "I profiled the startup behind Pangram, the AI detector everyone’s talking about. It works really, really well. I wanted to understand how they did it. and also: why people still don’t trust them. (also, news: Penguin Random House is using it.) gift link! ✨" URL to Bsky post: https://bsky.app/profile/vauhinivara.bsky.social/post/3mvnbsosxp22a Archive of Bloomberg article: https://archive.is/4ZYLFScreenshot from The Atlantic's October 11, 2026 article "Yet Another Literary Prizewinner Seems to Be AI" by Vauhini Vara URL: https://archive.is/pfaNb Text: "That this narrator has all the personality of a chatbot is probably not coincidental. The AI detector Pangram flags almost the entire story as AI-generated; a notable exception is its epigraph, also about a father with a fish fixation, which is excerpted from what’s described as an unpublished poem by Vangile Gantsho. This isn’t the first prize-winning story to be flagged by Pangram. It comes after similar scandals over this year’s Commonwealth Prize and Prix Goncourt—two other renowned literature contests—in which Pangram flagged AI use among finalists."

Kuzhali Manickavel's A COMPENDIUM OF SUPERNATURAL ENTITIES FOUND IN THE GOVERNMENT GIRLS HIGHER SECONDARY SCHOOL. Brought to my mind DANDADAN & UZAMAKI; it's a gloriously singular, funny, frightening, sad portrait of growing up poor & a woman in India (Tamil Nadu).

♥️ “It is comforting to know that he won’t fade away..” Last August, the Arab art world lost one of its luminaries, the Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour. He is remembered for his powerful imagery of Palestine but his wife offers a more personal perspective: www.voguearabia.com/article/slim...
