“Après le sable, Mermoz affronta la montagne, ces pics qui, dans le vent, lâchent leur écharpe de neige, ce pâlissement des choses avant l’orage, ces remous si durs qui, subis entre deux murailles de rocs, obligent le pilote à une sorte de lutte au couteau.” (1/2) 🏔️

Photo of the book Terre des Hommes by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (illustrated by Riad Sattouf). The cover shows a stylized stormy sea with rain, dark mountains, and a small red biplane. The book is photographed under a warm ceiling lamp, and a bookmark featuring a photo of François Truffaut peeks out from the top.

Went to pick up some records and there was a mixup. So I reckon there's probs a metalhead out there that got a boygenius EP instead of the Ltd Color Edition LP of this 80s Trash Metal band they expected.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

Well, duh. “The lure of honey water draws you from my arms so needy You follow in colonies to sip it from the bank In rapturous sweet temptation, you wade in past the edge and sink in Insatiable for a nectar, drinking 'til your heart expires” 😚🎶

Anybody who knows me a little bit knows I’m about to be (very) annoying about the new Japanese Breakfast album for the whole of 2025 (at least). The artwork ! The lyrics ! The instrumentals ! The production ! The references ! 👇

Japanese Breakfast album cover for For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women). A woman with dark long haire, sat on a chair, in a white gown, slumped on a table and her head down. The table is scrowded with food items, flowers, a skull, a candle as if in a in a still life painting.

Oh, to work between Xmas and NYE : no meetings, finally getting things done that have been on the To Do for weeks, uninterrupted soundtrack flowing through the headphones and the peaceful sipping of coffee.

Now, I’ve never read The Hunger Games, only seen the movies, I get it. However Georges Perec’s ‘W or The Memory of Childhood’ is one of my favorite books and that’s also a little bit on the nose.

The multiplicity of these Laws, their detail, and the great number and variety of the opportunities thus created, could lead one to believe that it really takes very little for an Athlete to become an Official, as if the Laws of W, by asserting the wish to reward high sporting achievement as well as steady service and just good luck, wanted to give the impression that Athletes and Officials belonged to the same Race, to the same world; as if they were all one family united by a single goal, the greater glory of Sport alone; as if there were nothing that really separated them: the contestants compete and redouble their efforts on the cinders; thronging the stands, on their feet, the crowd of their comrades cheers them on or boos them down; the Officials sit in the Stalls, and the same spirit moves them, the same combat thrills them, the same flame burns in them! But we know the world of W well enough to grasp that its most lenient Laws are but the expression of a greater and more savage irony. The apparent leniency of the rules governing promotion to official positions always comes up against the whimsicality of the Hierarchy: what a Timekeeper proposes, a Referee may refuse; what a Referee promises, a Judge may forbid; what a Judge proposes, a Manager disposes; what one Manager grants, another may disallow. High Officials have all the power; they can sanction, just as they can veto; they can uphold the choice of fate, or choose a different fatality, at random; they make the decisions, and they can change them at any time.

Today, Trump declared that the nation will host the first-ever “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” featuring high school athletes, one boy and one girl, from each state and territory. If you think this sounds like The Hunger Games, you're not alone.

while i am not an academic i did see this coming and post about it on bluesky, which is why i am quoted in this article

Moser tells Rolling Stone that to even claim LLMs "hallucinate" fictional publications misunderstands the threat they pose to our comprehension of the world, because the term "implies that it's different from the normal, correct perception of reality" But the chatbots are "always hallucinating," he says. "It's not a malfunction. A predictive model predicts some text, and maybe it's accurate, maybe it isn't, but the process is the same either way. To put it another way: LLMs are structurally indifferent to truth."

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

If the last 15 years of the tightening chokeholds on society and culture from the tech sector and the American conservative animus have taught us anything, it’s that it’s healthy to be extremely skeptical of anyone calling the humanities “low utility” or similar

Smthing that's been grating on me *big time* lately: "I listened to these 10 albums so you don’t have to" is less a hook than ever and is starting to feel very literal, almost reading as an instruction: "Consume someone else’s pre-chewed takeaway, not the work. Your time is better spent elsewhere."
