Saw something asking what your first graphics card was and went to look up some stats about my dear old Riva TNT. Imagine how crushed I was to discover this:

(From www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/ri...)
The Riva TNT was a graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on March 23rd, 1998. Built on the 350 nm process, and based on the NV4 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 5.0. Since Riva TNT does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, (this next bit is highlighted) it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV4 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 128 mm² and 7 million transistors. It features 2 pixel shaders and 0 vertex shaders, 2 texture mapping units, and 2 ROPs.

A little disappointing the souvenir departament did not have the balls to put the slutty skeleton on anything
Józef Mehoffer. A small etching. The Daring Gardener. An elegant woman taking a stroll in the garden is startled by the approaching gardener. It's death in disguise, hiding a sickle behind its back. There are dark clouds gathering behind the woman. Feliks Jabłczyński. A small etching, hand-coloured. Death and Psyche. She's sitting on a chair, looking away. Cloaked death grabs her hand. Felicien Rops. A small etching. The Dance of Death. Slutty corpse in a fancy hat, opera gloves, dainty shoes and a petticoat raised for everyone's viewing pleasure. Of the corpse ass. She is giving you a cheeky look over her shoulder. James Ensor. A small etching. Skeletons huddling around a heater.

Happy Holidays! Every day until Christmas, I'll use this thread to rec a book to help you with your gift list. Let's start with THE TWENTY DAYS OF TURIN by Giorgio De Maria, translated by Ramon Glazov, and republished with a foreword by moi. Buy from your fav indie. (Alt text = more detail.) 1/?
Cover of Twenty Days of Turin, with text in white showing foreword by Jeff VanderMeer, author Giorgio De Maria, Translated by Ramon Glazov centered down the middle over black and white art Satan Sowing the Tare by Felicien Victor Joseph Rops, a Belgian artist of the late 1800s. Description of the novel: In the spare wing of a church-run sanatorium, some zealous youths create "the Library," a space where lonely citizens can read one another’s personal diaries and connect with like-minded souls in "dialogues across the ether." But when their scribblings devolve into the ugliest confessions of the macabre, the Library’s users learn too late that a malicious force has consumed their privacy and their sanity. As the city of Turin suffers a twenty-day "phenomenon of collective psychosis" culminating in nightly massacres that hundreds of witnesses cannot explain, the Library is shut down and erased from history. That is, until a lonely salaryman decides to investigate these mysterious events, which the citizenry of Turin fear to mention. Inevitably drawn into the city’s occult netherworld, he unearths the stuff of modern nightmares: what’s shared can never be unshared. An allegory inspired by the grisly neo-fascist campaigns of its day, The Twenty Days of Turin has enjoyed a fervent cult following in Italy for forty years. Now, in a fretful new age of "lone-wolf" terrorism fueled by social media, we can find uncanny resonances in Giorgio De Maria’s vision of mass fear: a mute, palpitating dread that seeps into every moment of daily existence. With its stunning anticipation of the Internet―and the apocalyptic repercussions of oversharing―this bleak, prescient story is more disturbingly pertinent than ever.

Is the SAT serving the mission of public universities?

CSHE Senior Associate Saul Geiser tackles this question in an op-ed for Inside Higher Ed. Drawing on his ROPS paper, Geiser argues that "treating the test as a neutral measure of merit is an illusion."

“The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife” (2021)
Ink, gold leaf, and hydrangea petals on cream paper.
My homage to Hokusai’s iconic print, now included in the upcoming exhibition “Japanese Fantasies in the Time of Félicien Rops” at the Félicien Rops Museum in 2025–2026.
Honored to be part of it.
A delicate figure of a woman with pale skin and flowing pink hair lies in a dreamlike pose, surrounded by golden octopus tentacles. Soft hydrangea petals float around her. The drawing combines white ink, gold leaf, and vibrant pink lines on warm cream paper, evoking sensuality, fantasy, and homage to Hokusai.

A low shot close-up of a clump of orange-yellow mushrooms with flat but wavy-edged rops and gills on the underside. In among them are two Sylvanian Familes babies. On the left is Pickle, a grey striped cat baby with one visible paw raised. On the right, further back, is a tiny cradled black cat baby. It's Reggie!

Félicien ROPS (1833-1898), etching The initiation of love, signed Hyper realistic macabre surrealist artist. Against a background of leafless winter oaks a half naked woman drops her dress, revealing her firm ass but on top of her corset, she is turned into a skeleton with feathered angelwings, her left hand holds the robe and a bow, the arrows dangle behind her legs and the tie has a bowtie at her as,her right arm rises where she holds the head of a man with a hat with feather. In front of her is a moth with large moth wings, but it's "skeleton" is actually the hip, hipbones and upper legs of a female. It gives macabre dark fairy vibes

"[D]rops in confined populations are quickly being erased. ... Beyond 'rebounding' to near-2019 levels, seven states actually imprisoned more people in 2023 than they did before the pandemic, and another 15 states are quickly closing the gap, all within 10% of their 2019 prison population size."
