Please bear witness to the most perfect flower (Japonica camelia) I’ve ever grown. 🌱

A mathematically pleasing, Fibonacci fulfilling white camelia flower radiating out of the round center with perfect points in 7 concentric circles. There are no flaws. It’s roughly the size of a dinner plate.

I don't know how many times to point out that is absolutely ghoulish and non-consensual and disgusting behavior.
To exploit the image of a dead woman who was also exploited in real life so you can live out your momentary fantasies of "what is possible" with AI is bad science journalism, also.
Sick.

Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones? AI Could Make It Happen Soon

Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

Screenshot includes an AI generated image of what looks like a human cross between Daenaerys Targaryen and Marilyn Monroe on the back of a dragon.

If you want a good giggle while learning a thing or two today...

Check out this thread from an actual Greek guy who is currently working on a podcast series about, well, Greek myths (do yourself a favour and give his Podyssey a listen afterwards too!)

Oh, babes. Have you got a big surprise coming...

This is great news. We've hired the classicist Spencer Klavan to teach at New College of Florida. Goodbye gender studies; hello, Greek literature.

Truly excited to be teaching an online survey course in Greek literature this fall semester @NewCollegeofFL. Even more excited that it's open to the public. Please join in here! We'll be reading Homer, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, and lots more.

Look. I know everything’s Shit™️ & people who create should create.

That means YOU have to give a shit about what they’re creating! Artists/creatives are fighting for their lives. They’re fighting AI noise & capitalism squeezing every fucking $ w/ none reaching creators.

Show them love!

I have rounded up everything going on re: rainbow crosswalks in Texas. Galveston became the first city to remove theirs this week. Houston and Austin say they'll get rid of theirs, and San Antonio and Dallas are holding firm: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

These Texas cities are getting rid of rainbow crosswalks

Next time they make up some thing about offshore wind and whales, ask about this.

Republicans are aiming next to dismantle the marine mammal protection act, which protects whales, dolphins, manatees, polar bears, and sea otters.. among other ocean wildlife. 🦦

I love it. Makes me happy.
Weird that I'm now seeing your post here after I just read about the bill to end the 1970s marine mammal legislation to protect these beautiful creatures.

It’s been a while since I revisited THE STAND. Got a digital copy of the (apparently?) updated/expanded version when I couldn’t find my old paperback.

Uh. The times are all over the place, which is wild. I think they tried to bump it to the 90s?

More important: RACIST AF. God damn. 🤬

People are spontaneously posting up near any laborers or street vendors they spot. Just saw a rapid responder guarding a man working on a building exterior. Many things are terrible today but lord, this stuff matters.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.

I’ve been gone for a week, a work event that keeps me on high alert to meet or anticipate everyone’s needs the whole time.

First morning back, Henry and Tulip have tackled me, purring blissfully away with claws threatening anytime I try to do something else.

Just what I needed. 🥰

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

Who Link was here & how he formed site culture, insisting on alt text & accessibility & disability justice, insisting on standing with trans people, mutual aid, irreverent shitposting, shows exactly that this culture of early bluesky that forged the platform is the opposite of what the team wants.
