I know you didn't! Just wanted to point out those invisible, emotional ties that people in different countries weave all the time, sometimes against their governments' wishes...

If only...

We do remember and honour the US citizens who came to fight in Spain in 1936 and afterwards were blacklisted in their own country because of their "premature anti-fascism". That was indeed being on the right side of history.

There's a curse, right? Some monkey paw or something Thatcher buried deep down number 10, which makes your PMs crash and burn like spinal tap drummers...

In the original film people kept saying what a great pilot he was, I think? No mention of his swashbuckling skills.

I wonder if middle-aged Martians were just as committed to this dress-code.

Or perhaps this was the Martian equivalent of zoot suits and you were making a fashionista point when wearing them?

So many questions.

Tatjana Wood has apparently passed away at age 99. Her father was Jewish so during WW2 her parents sent her to the Netherlands, then NY. She studied as a dressmaker, met/married Wallace Wood and began assisting him, then pivoted to becoming one of the best colorists in comics.

In 2026, colleges must teach students that this is not the end of the world. We must teach hope. Current undergraduates can barely remember a time before the threats of climate change and authoritarianism loomed to catastrophic scale. Since 2010, the future depicted in TV, books, and games has been dystopian or apocalyptic, so for our current students the end of the world feels more familiar and realistic than a future with hope. Now we are asking them to choose majors and life paths when the desirability, indeed the very existence, of whole sectors of employment are in question, due to the overwhelming promises of LLMs and machine learning. As young people hear daily that vocation after vocation may vanish into automation’s maw, and that democracy, liberty, land, sea, and sky are all in jeopardy, despair is growing. Despair is very emotionally tempting. It means freedom from the responsibility to shape the future. This is a terrifying turning point, but many generations before us have faced such turning points, and met them. We can offer our students perspective. Only a few dozen institutions on Earth are more than 900 years old, and the vast majority are universities. The university system is not a house of straw to buckle in this storm: We are the rocks that have sheltered the knowledge, hope, and truth through tumults which have toppled kingdoms while classrooms endured. We can endure this, and be a guiding light through it, but only by recentering, by teaching citizens, not workers; power, not PowerPoint; aspiration, not apocalypse. Despair is how we lose. The classroom is where we battle it. All other battles flow from here. Ada Palmer is an associate professor of history at the University of Chicago.

This, from Ada Palmer as part of The Chronicle's survey of 11 scholars on the future of higher ed, is what I needed to end the week.

Wars that used to break out in summer now regularly do so in the winter months. Yet another consequence of Climate Change...

[Thread] Entertainment & sci-fi in the "For All Mankind" timeline.

As we've seen in the nearly five seasons of the AppleTV+ show, the more time passes, the more their reality differs from ours.

So let's see what the series teaches us about what we have in common, but also about our differences...

Last night I played The Smiths' Louder than Bombs compilation CD: an hour long overflow of teenage depression flashbacks, anger at Morrissey's ideological drift and utter elation at the beauty of those songs...

In any alternative timeline Dexter Gordon was gonna be a film star. It just took him too long in ours.

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

Esto está debajo de mi casa. Las borraron.

Yeah... that might be it. A low profile is probably healthier for creativity.
In yet another field, overexposure burnout also accurately describes the career of someone like Orson Welles. In fact the quality of his work improved away from the Hollywood spotlight, regardless of his age, imo.

That makes sense I suppose... Scott Fitzgerald had a rock star career avant la lettre and it didn't do much good to his writing in the long run...

I apologize this isn't what was discussed in the original thread, but the case of popular music has always intrigued me...

But why should pop and rock artists run out of ideas? I can see there might be a bias among audiences/industry when judging more mature output by previously successful artists, but that doesn't account for self-confessed severe drops in quality by said artists...

I still can't believe how good Munich is. Spielberg is ridiculously underrated sometimes.

I totally agree... but why music indeed?

Is it the mathematical component? Yet how come Paul McCartney writes something like Eleanor Rigby at 24? Why is it that Dylan confesses he just can't come up with something like "Darkness at the break of noon. Shadows even the silver spoon, etc." nowadays?

Ostras, qué timing ha tenido el tío. Igual ha sido del disgusto por lo de las llamadas de su mujer...

So not much different from the Civilization game AI. They always nuke you first, no matter how well behaved...
