@chrislhayes.bsky.social It's hard to listen to Senator Kaine just a day after he voted to confirm a Trump judge. I'd have liked to ask him why he thinks the defiance regarding Greenland that he hears in private from his GOP colleagues would last two seconds against one mean Trump Truth.

I asked several LLMs to help coin a term for a corollary to Gell-Mann Amnesia related to LLMs instead of the news media. ChatGPT came up with Turing Amnesia, Gemini suggested The Turing Blindspot, but I think Claude has the best suggestion: Altman Amnesia.

Inspired by a zoom talk on Escher-like Spiral Tiling yesterday by @isohedral.ca, wrote some code that's probably not quite working right but it's still pretty fun... Here, the starting tile is a small symmetric Turing Pattern with a little color added. #mathart

This is great. We also *need* a Constitutional Amendment to completely reform presidential pardon power!
Some people have asked what I mean when I talk about the need for anti-corruption reforms. Here are some ideas.

Leonard Bernstein Introduces 7‑Year-Old Yo-Yo Ma: Watch the Youngster Perform for John F. Kennedy (1962)
Asked to think of a virtuoso cellist, many of us immediately imagine Yo-Yo Ma, not just because of his considerable skill but also because of the sheer length of his residency in popular culture.

The new museum was worth the wait! The collection looks fantastic, the "promised to museum" pieces in the Princeton Collects exhibit promise a great future collection, and the building itself is gorgeous. So happy to have this back in the neighborhood!
Princeton University Art Museum is reopening this week after an extensive five-year renovation. It now "takes its place at the very front rank of art institutions in New Jersey," Tris McCall writes.

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.
Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

What a despicable little man who is lying through his teeth to try to incite violence against Americans who will be peacefully assembling to protest the Trump regime’s anti-democratic rule.
Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

Excellent! We need more Democrats calling for Hegseth *and* Trump to resign for incompetence and their hatred of America. Every D should be calling out Trump's dementia and psychopathy, calling for 25th Amendment and impeachment on every news interview. Flood the zone.
NEW: Sen. Tammy Duckworth is calling for Pete Hegseth to resign.
"If this PR stunt proved anything, it's that the best thing Pete Hegseth can do to strengthen our military is resign in disgrace immediately."

I don't think I ever bought anything from Kremer's while I lived in NYC in the early aughts, but I remember visiting a few times and being wowed by the small jars of powdered pigment, just pure material color.
i'm neither a conservator nor an artist but my adjacencies make me really love Caitlin MacBride's eulogy for Kremer Pigments' NY store in @hyperallergic.com

Remembering the Pigment Shop That Taught Me How to See
Kremer’s New York City location, a painter’s paradise and key resource for conservators, is closing in November. For artists, the loss goes far beyond a storefront.

I'm very happy to have my painting "After the Dance" in the group exhibition "Under the Influence", which opens this Friday, Oct 3 (reception 5-8pm) and runs through Jan 11, 2026. The show features artwork directly inspired by other pieces of art; mine was based upon Matisse's "Dance (I)" at MoMA.

A nice shift in perceived colour between central and peripheral vision. The fixated disc looks purple while the others look blue.
The effect presumably comes from the absence of S-cones in the fovea.
