“A farmer, whose portrait is featured on the cover image of this article, who appears completely detached from the urban setting one associates IBM with; in a decidedly bucolic, soothing, and non-technological environment.
(Also, by the way, do not you think he looks suspiciously similar to Waldorf, one of Henson’s most popular Muppets?)”

<< Did Rinehart ask the sponsored team to do this? If so, that's appaling. If not, this is an appaling judgement by the athletes.
I suspect the former, as I can"t imagine athletes would, or would even be allowed to, jump into such a public spat.

Got home and powered on my home office's monitors. One showed no signal. Power cycle from front button didn't fix it. Rebooting attached computer didn't fix it. Pulling its power cord out of the UPS and putting it back in fixed it. Computer then detected it though forgot its portrait orientation so had to set all that up again.
It's own power button wasn't enough of a power cycle though. Weird.

2024's book number 10 is a short but informative read on #Nefertiti and her famous portrait bust. (Another librarian win).
What I mostly took away, apart from a nice introduction to Amarna and Akhenaten is that the alleged "science" of Egyptology appears to be mostly based on supposition, guess work and prejudice with rather thin, occasional often contradictory evidence. …

Dok-Film-Tipp:
Ich schaue mir jedes Jahre total gerne das Dok.fest Filmfestival in München an.
"WHERE WE USED TO SLEEP" hat es mir dieses Jahr besonders angetan. Das langsame Portrait einer alten Frau, ihrem Hund und einer Kuh in der unangenehmen Lage, von einer Kupfermine verdrängt zu werden. In der genauen Beobachtung der traurigen Konsequenz von Heimatverlust leider großartig und niederschmetternd ehrlich.

OK honest question why the hell do people use weird AI generated looking pictures of themselves that look like bad 90s Photoshop filters here? I mean…just pick any cool image, that's fine. Why creep people out? I get that as an artist I'm lucky. I can draw my own self portrait and like it enough to use it, but you don't have to illustrate your avatar! Use a photo or use an image of something else.
People are absolutely polarized on whether they loved or hated this 2023 Booker Prize winner. I loved it, but I listened to the excellently performed audiobook, so I was spared the criticisms of excessively lengthy paragraphs and non-obvious dialogue demarcations.
As for the story, the slide into a totalitarian state and the heart-wrenching repercussions for an ordinary family ensnared in the fallout is really well done. It is brutal.

This is apparently making the #MAGA rounds. Don’t look at the feet, or try to count the legs and arms. Also, two small children are merging with their parents, or emerging from them—it’s hard to tell.
Portrait of a friend of mine taken about a decade ago. I had a shocked reaction to the sight of someone smoking in an indoor public space even though a decade ago it wasn’t all that uncommon. Cultural norms change faster than your mind remembers.

Ich hatte ein Portrait gemacht und sie dann gefragt, was ich dazuschreiben solle. Sie hat ihren Namen genannt und ich sagte: Moment, den Namen kenne ich doch. Und sie sagte: Ja, Mutter und Schwester.
Na, besser, als wenn die Mutter nicht mehr mit der Tochter redet. Hab ich auch schon gehört.
