I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
Visited the new Chicago Brand Museum today. It's fascinating. (It's not a museum of just Chicago brands; it's a museum of lots of brand, which happens to be located in Chicago.) Fans of typography, graphic design, package design, and more will love it.

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.

The Art Institute of Chicago plans to transfer its entire in-house custodial workforce to a third-party contractor in August. The museum’s union called the plan a “devastating and unconscionable injustice.”

One core way I am Very Basic is that I’m an Odyssey nerd, I have an Athena half sleeve, I have a *specifically ridiculous* translation of the odyssey as epigraphs to my first graphic novel, I’m very very here for this moment in culture and too busy to see the dang movie for another week 👎👎

Our two investigations into Madison Square Garden are now unpaywalled and free for anyone to read.
WIRED@wired.com · 3w agoYesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.
This is a very thorough statement and I support the artists collective. I truly hope there can be a positive resolution. I want there to be a thriving space for interesting, political, and queer comics, but that also needs to come with fair treatment to the artists who make those books.

I've got a decent amount of younger followers so I'll clarify ; this is not a "callout post" or "cancelled!!" type statement, nobody wants Silver Sprocket to die, as it is home for many comics from queer, marginalized folk, that otherwise would not have gotten work out there. Simply, we want Better!

everyone seems to be responding positively to this and i hate to burst anyone's bubble, but i recently went to a Luddite festival in NYC and this is something organizers specifically warned about: don't let capitalists sell your hatred of capitalism back to you

I am yet again getting on my soapbox to tell y’all about how my previous job (public library) received a grant once to keep branches in some neighborhoods open until midnight on Fri and Sat. The neighborhoods were picked specifically because of higher crime rates and lack of support services (1/ )

Magdalene Visaggio was once in seminary, training to become a Catholic priest. Now she's a snarky online trans girl like the rest of us. In a challenging new essay for Assigned, she writes about the toll being hated for who she is has taken on her psyche. assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I keep reflecting on the MIA exhibit currently on display entitled, Modern Art and Politics in Germany 1918-1945. The following is a wood cut created by Käthe Kollwitz (1867-1945). Echos of recent ICE raids here in Minneapolis abound. More pics from the exhibit on my Patreon at patreon.com/JimKeefe
