Ada Louise Huxtable, Buffalo, and the Greatest Urban Vista
Buffalonians like to quote Ada Louise Huxtable, who pronounced a view in downtown Buffalo, NY as "the greatest urban vista in America." But she never said this. We figured out who did.

Currently doing some marking. A reminder to everyone involved in archives and collections: digitisation is not preservation. If I digitise a box of records and put the files on a USB stick I haven't preserved a thing. It's all about what you do with the files post-digitisation. #archives #digipres

Pretty much like Gates Circle in #Buffalo.
A perfect example of a public oasis made inaccessible. This beautiful plaza in Belo Horizonte 🇧🇷 is treated as a roundabout, marooning it in a chaotic sea of multi-lane traffic.
A place designed for people, with no safe way for people to get to it. This is a choice.

A cabbage farm in upstate NY. Cabbage is one of the hardest crops to pick. Huge crates are pulled by a tractor, workers have to rush to keep up and fill them. Picking cabbage requires long hours of bending over and cutting the plant and is done in all sorts of weather. #WeFeedYou

When a chatbot gets something wrong, it’s not because it made an error. It’s because on that roll of the dice, it happened to string together a group of words that, when read by a human, represents something false. But it was working entirely as designed. It was supposed to make a sentence & it did.
