@bourgwick@heads.socialgorgeous singing in spanish plus classical guitar. not sure i'd actually want to get up & flip/change discs if the josephine foster album was an actual 78s collection, but this is a fairly perfect in-between.

@wrog@mastodon.murkworks.netTIL:
"thagomizer" is now an actual technical term used in paleontology, referring to the distinctive collection of tail spikes on a stegosaurus that do, in fact, appear to have been used as weapons.
(This was *not* the case when Gary Larson first coined the term in 1982. Evidently, there had not previously been a name for it, so the paleontologists started using it...)
@denmanrooke@social.coopFor those Magic the Gathering box collectors out there, I'm selling some more of my collection of Play & Draft Boosters boxes that I've done art for.

@curiouscat@fosstodon.org25 Years of Mass Surveillance [is 25 years too many]
"as it becomes increasingly evident that the Trump administration is using mass surveillance to keep itself in power, stifle dissent, and undermine political opponents, these questions are now more urgent than ever."

@eyebee@mstdn.socialFrom Readwse: My collection of saved notes reflects a strong critical eye toward conservative leadership—such as tracking criticisms of Tory governance and policies—as well as an affinity for social-democratic ideas, worker solidarity, and public services like the NHS.
@georgiamuseum@glammr.usThe gallery also features a pair of prints by Hendrick Goltzius, a German-born Dutch artist, from the museum’s collection. “The Last Supper” and “Christ on the Mount of Olives” are part of a series of twelve engravings depicting the Passion of Christ that will rotate throughout the year. Goltzius’ engravings were extremely intricate, and he was praised for his technical mastery.

@georgiamuseum@glammr.usThe Georgia Museum of Art’s Samuel H. Kress Gallery was refreshed in September, adding religious images by European artists rarely exhibited in Athens. Three new paintings, on loan from the Sean N. Parker Foundation, are now on display alongside paintings, prints and decorative arts from the museum's collection. The gallery, which features European art from the 14th century to the early 19th century, also received a fresh coat of paint and updated wall text to reflect new branding. 2/

@pre@boing.worldTo the extent future models understand themselves, it will be through the collection of the data in the media and press about them.
If the press decide Claude is more kind and Grok is less woke, will they actually work that way?
Will they write as though they realize they are who they are? Will they recognize themselves in their old training data?
Or will they just be a commodity weight-set that you reboot with a different provider more easily than you change your email address?
Looking more like the latter to me.
They're much of a muchness.
Which isn't good news for those investing like their company-pick will rule the world.
@isonno@mastodon.socialAnother font specimen for @…'s collection.
If you believe the museum label, this is the only known example, created by (for?) Dutch designer Kho Liang Ie.
From an exhibition on the designer at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

@khalidabuhakmeh@mastodon.socialMy friend gifted me a Criterion Collection streaming subscription, and for two months I've been unable to watch a single movie because I switched emails at the start (gifted to a work email instead of a personal one).
Terrible experience. I would not recommend it unless you get it through an existing streaming service like Prime/YouTube/etc.
@shriramk@mastodon.social1/ Alexander Stille's brilliantly titled /The Future of the Past/ is a fascinating, thought-provoking, and sometimes frustrating book. A collection of mostly New Yorker essays, Stille examines what knowledge, memory, and even meaning mean. #BookReview ↵

@hacksilon@infosec.exchangeThe episode of Ancient History 101 with @… (author of the excellent blog “A collection of unmitigated pedantry”) on the first punic war is fantastic.
