a city may be made up of buildings but a city is not its buildings
Jacob Shell@JacobAShell

One of the strange things about many Chinese cities is they’ll be 2000-plus years old but if you ask where the historic district is you’ll receive a puzzled look and it will turn out the Han Dynasty era urban core is buried beneath Residential District #5 and nobody other than the local archaeology department knows it. Anyway, that’s what eventually happens when you don’t have architectural preservation.

mary ruefle was right when she said that people would rather read an essay about poetry than read a poem. it reminds me of when people in a museum read the explanatory caption before having their own experience of the art. you fear not "getting it" when you should fear not living

This is huge. - Publishers running your submitted books through AI systems adds your books to the AI training data without your consent. - Your book of 300-500 pages is being reduced to an AI summary and not "read" by editors. - An AI summary will be what your book is accepted or rejected on. - If the publisher tests your book to see if it was written with AI, it will get a false positive as the AI will recognise the book from it's training data, due to this process. This has to stop and publishers must be forced by agents and writers unions to sign agreements for every book, prior to 'reading' stating that they will not put submitted books through AI systems without written consent.

Why do young men bet thousands on sports or prediction markets when they could spend that money on out of print free jazz vinyl

All the “trad” chuds that prattle on about classics yada yada are just Nazis who hate knowledge and education like every other conservative, they just think posturing makes them look smart. Meanwhile, they’re helping to usher in a world of unrivaled stupidity

@sissenberg @nytimes A correction will appear in tomorrow's print edition: "A headline with an article on Friday about President Trump’s threats to leave NATO misstated the full name of the body. It is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, not the North American Treaty Organization."

South Korea's President: “South Korea must swiftly transition to renewable energy.” “Relying on fossil energy is extremely dangerous for the future. We do not produce these resources ourselves, and chasing imports has led to the current crisis.” chosun.com/english/nation…

This is basically a tenured professor forced out of a leadership position at a flagship public university for criticizing Israel. The witch hunt at universities across the country is still going on.
Laila Al-Arian@LailaAlarian

The University of Washington appears to have removed a professor, Aria Fani, from his position as director of the Middle East Center because he criticized Israel and stated that the claim that Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon was untrue.

“The American ppl are very much like the children of a Mafia boss who do not know what their father does for a living & don’t want to know, but then they wonder why someone just threw a firebomb thru the living room window. This is exactly who we are” —Bill Blum,
