Can we humans work together to solve collective problems? Climate change is a huge problem, but slow moving. The AI sludge filling the internet is faster moving, and easier to see. Will we do anything about it?

This NYT article (gift link) reviews things I already knew, but in a way that makes it clear just how bad things are getting.

As suggested in the Hard SF series ‘the 3 Body Problem’ we need to focus on rather than Seti reception.

Hey folks, regardless of where you are in your work week or if you even work, remember that you are more than you produce. You have value outside of what you do to make a living. You deserve rest and fun, independent of your status as a worker. Hoping folks will have a good week.

On the anniversary of the enactment of the Affordable Care Act, every single American needs to know that Trump has, again, promised to repeal it if he's elected. This would rip health care away 21 million people. Please help spread this far and wide.

"The charge of antisemitism is intended to have a chilling effect — and indeed, journalists, politicians, academics, even activists, are intimidated into self-censorship out of fear of losing employment and their reputation or of facing other sanctions. Jewish Voice for Peace has documented and condemned this manipulation of antisemitism"

Forcan Ridge, NW Scotland, wood engraving, 65x100mm. Artist's proof.

My second re-used lemonwood block. Sanding to a fine finish again bevelled the edges, but less so than at the first attempt. Not a problem with careful inking and burnishing.

Wood engraving starts in the dark and you draw with light - initially odd, it quickly becomes second nature. More tricky is working on a mirror image of the subject. A flipped reference image helps.

Next - hopefully an error-free printing session.

@kofanchen @urlyman @pvonhellermannn It's not overly cynical to realize that these reasons why anthropology is useful are also exactly why they're cutting anthropology but keeping business. It's all art of the right wing war on thought and real knowledge, while the basically religious beliefs of "business" get promoted. All hail capitalism and our machines run on oil, blood and children's bones.

Police are using DNA to create hypothetical face renderings—then using these images as a clue to base investigations on.
