"I ask you, which of us sitting in this hall would willingly submit to the indignity that Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have been subjected to for decades? What peaceful means have the Palestinian people not tried? What compromise have they not accepted...?" This whole speech is very good.

Day 11 of #medieval#art and spookiness... Onward friends, into the weekend.

Illustration from a 15th-century Italian Book of Hours (Hart 20966, f. 106v). Death smiles back at us, holding a golden scythe and riding a cart pulled by beasts, severed heads under their hooves. Above death, cherubs dangle from grape vines in an elaborate archway.

Friends I would like to share with you a compilation of fundraisers for people I have connected with in Gaza who need our help. No other help is forthcoming and the situation in the north is especially disastrous. 🧵

This Washington Post report haunts me every day

"Efforts to diversify gender norms face profound technical challenges. For instance, when OpenAI tried to remove violent and sexual images from training data for DALL- E 2, the company found that the tool produced fewer images of women because a large portion of women in the data set came from pornography and images of graphic violence.

To fix the issue in DALL-E 3, OpenAI retained more sexual and violent imagery to make its tool less predisposed to generating images of men."

It’s the ghost of a former king who playfully unbutters your toast of a weekday morning. Or so I have been told. By myself.
