Monkeys Have Geometric Skills On Par With Human Preschoolers, Study Suggests
If you've ever gone hiking and reached a fork in the trail, you may be confronted with two triangles: one pointing right, one pointing left.

Fruits Of Labor (Of Love)
(A 10x8" silver chloride print I made last night of a scene captured in the Bernina Range in 2024, which reminded me of 18th century landscape painting...)

A framed black & white photo print standing on a wooden easel in front of a white wall. The picture shows a shows a large boulder within a group of Swiss pines (which are also growing on top) in a talus field. Further in the distance the glaciated peaks of the Bernina range in bright sunshine.

Mea culpa. 👹

Meme. Looks like a medieval painting. An old man asks an angel, “Angel tell me, did I waste my life by posting memes?” Angel answers, “Thousands of people read your memes. You wasted the lives of thousands of people.”

You sometimes see Government TDs pointing out that Ireland isn’t unique in the world in having a housing crisis. But this graph in today’s Financial Times shows just how extreme ours is compared to the places elsewhere, which also describe themselves as a in a housing crisis.

Officially an engraver and accorded the lowly status thereof,
William Blake devoted his labors to realizing his elaborately idiosyncratic visions using images and words together in ways that no artist had done before.
Blake swam against the current “of modern human understanding, whose bedrock is the principle of specialization.”
Today, nearly two centuries after his death, that principle still obtains -- and in some ways more rigidly than ever.
But his work remains,

The Radical, Unclassifiable Art of William Blake
William Blake is a household name, or not far from it, but things get more complicated when it comes to professional description. He was a poet, a painter, and a printmaker, at least insofar as he wrote poetry, painted paintings, and made prints.

Content warning:

One of the ways AI has made my work worse and I mean worse in an absolutely unenjoyable way is that when I do image search for "cyclops phallus" I now get at least 50% AI slop, despite using DuckDuckGo's NoAI search, and it just sucks the joy right out of everything. I do image search regularly and it used to be such a fun part of my job. Now I dread it. AI slop is THAT BAD. A plague on everyone who added theirs to the huge pile of shit everyone now has to wade through online.

Tja, für die #Digitalisierung an Schulen muss eben Geld in die Hand genommen werden!
#FediLZ #Schule

Da ist auch der Kauf von Kryptowerten durch einen Bediensteten in leitender Funktion, der damit angeblich neue digitale Techniken erproben wollte. Dem Rechnungshof mag allerdings nicht einleuchten, warum dafür Steuergelder in Höhe von 33 000 Euro in Kryptowährungen umgetauscht wurden und die Bestätigung der Transaktionen häufig an private E-Mail-Adressen erfolgte. Fazit der Prüfer: Der dienstliche Nutzen sei zweifelhaft, die beschafften Kryptowerte seien „mittlerweile weitgehend wertlos“.
Der Fuhrpark ist überdimensioniert. Die Mitarbeiter verwenden nur 30 Prozent ihrer Tätigkeit für originäre Aufgaben. Ein während der Corona-Pandemie eingerichtetes Videostudio kostete mit 1,2 Millionen Euro doppelt so viel wie ursprünglich geplant, ist nicht ausgelastet und wird zur Produktion „digitaler Weihnachtsgrüße“ benutzt. Angeblich zu Testzwecken kauften LMZ-Mitarbeiter dann auch noch für 33.000 Euro Kryptowährungen.
