My entry to Vocal's Blue Haiku challenge.

It feels so strange to put something as small as a haiku on a page like this!

Oh, wow, Tom Lehrer has released all of his songs into the public domain. Apparently also his website will shut down "at some date in the not too distant future" so now's a good time to download directly.
"In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs.
So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money."
@caseynewton Bwahahahahah

It has no name,
this unfamiliar feeling,
glimmering prismatic
like oil on a street puddle,
overlooked by polished shoes
uncaring as they pass by
life's understated beauties.
It has no name,
this unfamiliar feeling,
but I would capture it if I could,
in an old glass bottle
on a shelf of tattered novels
where whimsical characters roam,
immortal in ink and dreams.
Some faraway frost-tinted day,
I would like to feel it again.

@XanIndigo Sounds perfect and transformative!
I am so underwater. I have too much in my feed, but I want it all it's so wonderful. I may have to walk away for awhile. I'm so #confused about what to do!⁉️

Quite a nicely done interactive piece about how AI text-to-image systems such as stable diffusion or Dall-E work.

Today I have been having the most brilliant time snuggled up by the fire, researching the archaeology of the Natron area of the Eastern Rift Valley, Tanzania. I'm tasked with producing some educational materials and it's making me happy.
(Ex archaeologist here 🙋♀️, seems I never grew out of it after all)

@hacks4pancakes The next generation, and indeed all people today, should not have to live that way. This

Hello moon!
Leaving my Twitter homeworld to see what community I can find here.
PhD in Cognitive Science and Informatics (Complex Systems) from Indiana University, with research on History and Philosophy of Science and Information Foraging. Lately, I build ontologies in Sandia National Laboratories’ Machine Intelligence and Visualization Department.
More often than not, my posts are from adventures in #astrophotography and exploring the American Southwest from my home in New Mexico.

December 16, 1902, a sequence of pyroclastic flows at La Pelée was documented by French geologist Alfred Lacroix. He will propose the first modern classification system of volcanic activity - one explosive type will be known as Pelean type 🌋
When I was trying out clay for art, I fell in love with della Robbia
@ty_buchanan I've added this to my wonderfulness list. It reminds me of a Della Robbia sculpture
@freemo no, no, no.
@PaulMMCooper It's always projection with these right-wing guys. *smh*
