It was lovely to see homage to the Hunterian Museum’s Evelyn Tables in @realgdt.bsky.social Frankenstein. These four tables were made in Padua, taking arteries, veins and nerves dissected in Padua’s famous anatomical theatre, pasting them to boards and varnishing them to protect and preserve

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

If you really want to be mean, drop a few random piles of clothes on the street overnight.
Then knock on the fundies' door, point at the clothes piles, and tell them a whole bunch of people raptured overnight.
"Gees, I'm actually kinda surprised you didn't join 'em. What happened?"

Not a well-formed thought but I’m annoyed at the positioning of $80 Switch 2 games being anti-consumer, when game prices have barely risen since the 80s… high prices and stagnant wages aren’t anti-consumer, they’re anti-**worker…**

This is Mrs. Florence Bell, the first nurse to go to the Royal Veterinary College of London. This is a cigarette card from my collection and in the info about her on the back it says “the more she sees of humans, the better she likes animals”. 1938.

"Unhype Artificial 'Intelligence'" is my go-to paper for rethinking the language we use to describe automated systems. "AI" is neither artificial nor intelligent, but the language does capture a kind of science fiction imaginary that obscures people, processes and harms.
