I Played My Cat Some Magnificats,
And This Was His Response:
An Entirely Unacademic Study.
Rubbra in A flat
- Very excited meowing.
Stanford in C
- Purring, meowed when it stopped.
Murrill in E
- No audible reaction; he looked out the window.
Gray in F minor
- Meowed and left the room.

Australia Admits All Those Animals Made Up
SYDNEY—Saying the ruse began as a harmless prank about the continent’s mammals having pouches, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese admitted Tuesday that all those animals like wallabies, numbats, quokkas, and bandicoots were completely made up. “We just assumed everyone would have caught on by now, because these creatures are clearly imaginary,” said Albanese, adding that […]

An AI slop factory apparently tried to rewrite our article about AI not replacing workers en masse, but hit the paywall... so just summarised the paywall. If this is the robot that takes my job I'll be v embarrassed

This is great advice. I've discovered so many things I would never have known I liked just by showing up at something.
Don’t think you’re too lowbrow to go to a cultural event, they’ll appreciate that you’re there, you’ll always get something out of it, and it’s how you start building the vocabulary

Hair follicles? A bamboo grove? These are the super-octave pipes of St Marks organ in Auckland, New Zealand. Usually hidden from view through a series of ladders and trapdoors. They’re each about 1cm wide.

A nebula? Something more anatomical… this is an Australian Yidaki or #Didgeridoo. They’re not carved out by hand, but are eaten out by termites! Hence the organic structure. One of the most surprising instruments I’ve photographed.

Employers should not be using AIs to interact with their employees unless they want the employees to cut corners in the same way. If a training or email chain is run by an AI, that’s the quickest way to convey that you don’t give a shit, and your employees will follow suit

'German Small Town by Night,' is one in a series of caricatures Georg Scholz made between 1919 and 1923 in which he mocked the bourgeois ideal of the small German town and the pleasures and orderliness of life to be found there.

1. @alisongopnik.bsky.social, Cosma Shalizi, James Evans and myself have a new piece in Science on "AI" Large Models, pushing back against much of the collective wisdom about what they can and can't do. Official below, unpaywalled at henryfarrell.net/large-ai-mod... . So why this now?
Large AI models are cultural and social technologies

If you need to vanish into a rabbit hole for a little while, may I recommend the Eunice Norton archive on youtube.
She was a great pianist born in Minneapolis in 1908, and apparently the first person to record the complete Goldberg Variations on piano. 💕

My latest post is now out.
I show how Trump's attacks on science and universities are neither random nor new - they fit very precisely into the authoritarian playbook.
This means we can guess what might come next and prepare - and we must!

There’s an Urdu name for a “Jack of all trades” that translates to “every talent Lord.” A Korean version is “eight direction beauty.” But my favourite name for someone who tries their hand at lots of different things is the Lithuanian Barbė devyndarbė. It means “Barbie nine jobs”
