Beautiful celebration of Brazilian and Recife culture. Impressed also by Armando, who is trying to find meaning and love in a hostile world. A reminder of the dark times in our history, and of the period we are now, from which almost no one can escape its brutality.

Got to see the movie The Secret Agent last night, slightly belated UK release. Superb, and wonderfully evocative of the period, though some aspects of the plot left me slightly baffled (probably deliberately).
for instance, the famous hairy leg?!
In addition for every other valid reason not to get ChatGPT to do your journal peer reviews for you I heard today the argument that once you load an article into the programme it will become part of the training data set and you are thereby complicit in violating the author’s copyright.
From Bad Bunny and Peso Pluma topping charts to Netflix pouring billions into Mexican productions, Latin America’s artists are winning audiences. They will find even more success in 2026

I honestly don’t understand the drama with the DFG and AI: do you really think Gutachter didn’t have ways to be bad Gutachter before? And wouldn‘t be absurd to have the DFG simply ban AI when so many of us use it daily, if only for DeepL? I think it’s much better to have guidelines than a ban

Amazing, Lula!!! And Bolsonaro is arrested.
That’s a missed opportunity for AI to announce that it wouldn’t accept any paper that had itself as an author.

When his eyesight began to fail, Monet labeled paint tubes so he could choose colors by name rather than sight. 🎨
More and more, the composition happened in his mind rather than on the canvas.
