The Vanity Fair photographer who disrupted Trumpworld’s polished image
Christopher Anderson, who photographed Trump’s team at the White House for Vanity Fair, defends his unvarnished — and extreme — close-ups.

The ongoing White House "renovation" continually reminds me of The Residence. Almost didn't finish it, as much as I liked #cordeliacupp. But I'm so glad I did. The last episode elevated the show from a whodunnit to a commentary on wealth and power. I watched the last episode while the East Wing was being demolished and this week? An absurd portrait display.

Believe it or not, I've never actually submitted an academic paper for peer-reviewed publication before, and I'm a lil nail-bitey.
Is there anyone here who's active in ACL (the Association for Computational Linguistics) who wants to swap papers with me for a deep critique of methods/code/conclusions? I have a fun classic ML model that will entertain you, I swear.

I think my life now has too many mandatory update 'journeys'. First my way of authenticating, then the operating system, oh no my ide needs a mandatory update as well, old or new password?
What? A new VPN? Mandatory

I’ve spoken with my boss (he’s a bit of a dickhead but his heart’s in the right place) and confirmed that I won’t be getting fired for opposing Israel’s ongoing genocide and supporting the human rights of the Palestinian people to live with freedom and dignity like the rest of us but not everyone is as lucky.

Pro-Palestinian influencer Dr. Nahla Al-Sarraj fired following Zionist smear campaign
Dr. Nahla Al-Sarraj gained hundreds of thousands of social media followers by discussing the Gaza genocide. She was fired after a pressure campaign from Israel lobby groups that she believes aimed to silence her. Despite this, she remains unbowed.

Neil Young - "After The Gold Rush" (1970)
Somehow I went all these years without acquiring this record, until today. Apparently this lp was inspired by a Dean Stockwell script for a movie that never got produced.

Got a gov loveletter in response to my request for "#gender" and name change.
My new name is supposed to match my "#gender".
Since I'm having my "gender" removed, what would be a suitable name?
"NULL", nil, undefined, ... [object Object]? kek…

One of my favourite poems. I'm not much of a poetry fan, but #PamAyers really hits the nail.
I often wonder what it must be like to be so strong,
Infallible, articulate, self-confident and wrong.

I got back in Blender to try and find a color scheme.
Designed a label for it.
Then painted it, varnished it and finally assembled/glued it.
5 of the monsters are with accessories hinting to my brother's skills/hobbies.
The can was designed to hang on a wall.

I'm lucky to be chairing a great session with lots of brilliant short papers, from 'The Politics of AI Training Data' (with people who critiqued the KB NL in the audience!), vision language models, work with newspapers and more! https://www.conftool.org/fa…
