Just girly things: making a Daoist fulu talisman for a hopping zombie (jiangshi) à la “Mr. Vampire” (1985) in an Asian horror cinema exhibit. #AsiaPOP I love my job 😆

We run an East Asian Top Trumps class - I'm not sure Top Trumps has exists in N America, but students each do a biographical case study, and assemble them all into a card game. We print out decks for all the students. Here's a write up of a previous version: fireflies2or3.com/teaching/tok...
Some of my amazing colleagues wrote a paper in Nature about re-visiting medieval floods. Here's a Science article about it that I was interviewed for. www.science.org/content/arti...

The intense deluges, never before documented, represent the highest number of back-to-back extreme weather events in the past 700 years

I met Hayden at Philly WizardWorld (ComiCon) as a young teen. She was SO sweet to tiny, shy me (unlike some other folks), & only 5 years older. RIP Hayden Panettiere, my thoughts are with her loved ones and all her fans who were inspired by the kind, indomitable cheerleader she portrayed on Heroes.

I’m in agreement with Damien. As a corollary, there is more than one way to destroy an archive: you can delete the archive itself or you can alter what is included in the archive to remove some things, some people, from existence.
I'm going to keep saying this until it's rote practice: If you are in official connection with let alone in charge of an archive of data, if is your professional & moral responsibility to secure that archive, as a backup or otherwise, against just such an emergency, so we're not Hoping some kid did.
This is the coverage of Arday **just in the Telegraph** in the UK. This is only the first four pages of results, just in one outlet.
"something like the Minority Report...most of them had Moroccan names...they got house visits, got school visits...the self-fulfilling prophecy making it so." Monstrous story of the Dutch state using AI to "predict" which children would be "violent" Everyone should listen to this.
Heartbroken and infuriated by what @ethicsofai.bsky.social shared in this podcast about the automated profiling of children. This needs to stop immediately. Recommended listening: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Man, I only just caught with this story. What a tragic ending. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/afdfd24...
