This essay was written by a friend of mine, Paul Kvinta, for National Geographic. It explores the ethics around the repatriation of cultural artifacts and focuses on a 2,000-some-year-old Mayan pot that his uncle left him when he passed away many years ago. archive.ph/Z1p8N

I am reposting from a Dr. Karen Shue post on Substack. I love the idea that you can write like exercising; start small, work through resistance and find you can grow the writing "muscle."

Same story in many other places, along with underreported murders of indigenous people...still.
Just finished this piece of speculative fiction. Love the 2119 descriptions of England after major climate change. One of Ian McEwan's best. #booksky

This is interesting because the article is about expansion project for a nuclear reactor that is NOT based ib creating more power for AI: www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...
Excellent advice!
I thought this was a helpful guide to managing "tech" with children.
But JKF, Jr. is afraid of mRNA vaccines, so they are out.
Also known as "decision fatigue."
For me, the problem is the people in power want to stay in power...forever. Now changing election rules to make that's possible. Along with every other thing undertaken from the authoritarian playbook. Thanks to R. Vought, Proj. 2025, and S. Miller, (internal police force chief) and all sycophants.
I'm not generally scared of AI but this is terrifying. AI regurgitates old human creativity & passes it off as new human creativity. These schools seem to take it to a new level of keeping students uneducated. Maybe I'm wrong. What do you think?
