Beautiful 1860s Victorian butterfly, which was used to store small packets of sewing needles on the underside of the wings. This was a collaboration between a London-based drapers company and a sewing needle manufacturer. On exhibit at Tatter Blue, a Brooklyn textile museum.

imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?

Rümeysa is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met. Many of you came to know her first and foremost as an ICE abductee, seized by a state that wanted to strip her of her humanity. I would like for you to know her in her own words, which are resoundingly human.

Many readers now think of Margaret Wise Brown titles like “The Runaway Bunny” as tranquil introductions to storytelling. But the books, like their author, were radical for their time.

Worth a watch:
Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Andrew Lang described the way economists use statistics as the way “a drunk uses a lamppost—for support rather than illumination.”
I keep coming back to that line when reading the transparently cynical academic efforts to provide support (and not illumination) for Trump’s birthright citizenship EO.

RIP Dave Jerden. One of the greatest producers of all time. He was a candidate to produce our first record and he came to our rehearsal and when we strummed the first chord he was like "tune that guitar I'm gonna go have a cigarette" and then he passed on the project cementing my respect for him
