The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
Also I'm sorry how do you not go with AI-catraz? This is what happens when you ignore the humanities
DUNE! Today's tape is at least a near-original airing of the Sci-Fi Channel Dune miniseries, along with every commercial and bumper! youtu.be/TKTp62xg3M0 I made the audio as good as I could but I've tried this on three different VCRs and it is muffled on the tape, and I don't want to mess with it

I think that @this-is-mallory.bsky.social is one of the best MAHA debunkers out there. And, as an exvangelical, I find the way she weaves wellness hokum and purity logic together in this video really compelling
Me in 1997: Tomorrow Never Dies is stupid. What kind of super villain just wants to control the news? Me in 2026: 😐…oh
If I were in that room, I would pitch that the premise should be: It's time to play the music; it's time to light the lights. Indeed, it's time to meet the Muppets on the Muppet Show tonight.
There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)
also this is a non-sequitor that confuses the business case with the thing itself. i don't give a shit what it's good for, the same way the main event of cloning human-shark hybrids would not be what jobs they were good at bsky.app/profile/iwri...
I keep seeing AI described as a massive shift in the nature of humanity and our understanding of consciousness But when I look at how good these new models are at hacking, I think oh we've basically just built the computer equivalent of the machine gun.
It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
"Mr. Mamdani is a master of new media... But as mayor, he has also been able to use taxpayer funds to create a sprawling network of hundreds of friendly influencers to boost his priorities, provide positive depictions of his administration and enhance his popularity."
This is effectively a tax-free grant to start a Substack about your local community. That rules.
Wow. $15,000-20,000 refundable tax credit (you get the money like a grant if your taxes aren't as high as the benefit) for keeping journalists hired. $15,000 for hiring new ones. $7,500 for hiring part-time. For-profit, nonprofit, **sole-proprietors** — doesn't matter. How did this happen???

Can't believe he wrote about a future in which Google gives you correct information.
Surely there's at least a few more people on bluesky who would be interested in watching my latest video
NEW VIDEO: In 2006 a Washington DC based think tank hired future lead designers of Civilization and XCOM to make a strategy game based on a documentary about nonviolent protest. 20 years later I'm here to tell you why. youtu.be/dmL7Ph4Us8o

watching my wife try to hire someone to work under her this week has been wild- like 98% of all resumes aren't even real candidates and come from fraud farms trying to use AI to scam a paycheque to a fake candidate, we have officially hit a point where the biggest global growth industry is fraud

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
