in a week when we're supposed to get rain 6 days out of 7 ... why does Stafford Square in Fall River keep flooding, and could the city ever find the $37 million needed to fix it? heraldnews.com/story/news/tra…

3D printers are cool, but we're in the midst of a wave of innovation with 2D plotters. There's a cottage industry of vibe-coded G-code generators giving artists new tools. What a fascinating modern age we live in.

that's not reading Ulysses, the same way that reading a wikipedia plot summary is not watching the movie. Again, Ronnie Coleman the philosopher-king: everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift that heavy-ass weight

People are threatening to use AI to make a “readable” version of Ulysses: in other words, a book that removes all the brilliance, wit & wordplay from Joyce’s novel until there’s nothing left. I wish these philistines would just admit they hate art, culture and literature.

Nabokov’s writing is a fantastic counterexample to the “never use adverbs” piece of blunt-edged advice you sometimes hear from lesser writers

haven’t read in 15 years so i decided to take a look again. first paragraph alone made me laugh out loud—“somewhat disappointingly,” as if we, the readers, were really hoping pnin would be hot, and are gently let down immediately. “ideally bald” too. he’s amazing

Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

The people in this picture had never met before. This Southcoast photographer matches total strangers together for romantic photo shoots. People say it’s a fun way to meet people beyond dating apps or just get out of their comfort zone. Would you try it? southcoasttoday.com/story/news/202…

Started reading John Barth’s Giles Goat-Boy without knowing much about it & didn’t realize it’s partially about AI writing … in 1966

this curdled into further snark & irony in the execrable Superman from 2025 when the hero leaves a fight to save a squirrel -- poking fun at the earlier Synder version, a meathead jock who bulldozed through buildings & left cities devastated
English
the trend has satisfied the pop culture nerds snarking out over CGI destruction, but made the stakes of these movies become much more abstract -- handfuls of toys being smashed together on the recess yard. Which is fun temporarily in a keys-jingling way but has become boring
English
there's a v strange guilt around it. After Man of Steel, pop culture nerds got bent out of shape bc superhero movies were staging battle scenes in populated places where heroes were smashing crap & didn't do enough to save ppl. So the trend became "make battle scenes depopulated"
English
how do you make a trailer for Master & Margarita but leave out Behemoth?? You put asses in seats by showing people a giant talking vodka-drinking cat

First trailer for ‘THE MASTER AND MARGARITA’. • Russian officials wanted to ban the film in 2024 amid the invasion of Ukraine and deemed its themes of censorship too dangerous. • It still became the highest-grossing 18+ release in Russian history. • Based on Mikhail Bulgakov’s acclaimed satirical novel, the film follows a writer in 1930s Moscow, who after being censored, writes a new novel in which the Devil appears to wreak havoc on those who have wronged him. Releasing in the US on September 18.
