Is This Man the Last Living Number Painter in Naples?

His message, written in Neapolitan dialect, said, WORK DOESN’T GET ENOUGH RESPECT HERE. As in Naples, so in America? AI threatens our need to do work that is respected and respectful

He certainly allowed Fox to pressure him. Cavanaugh admitted that it was a lie when they told McDonald they were getting pressure β€œfrom the top”

Indeed. There were only two who decimated the NEH, and they do both have clear eyes. One blue, the other a pale green.

I do believe the default is delete though, yes? He also said they didn’t use AI. And his claim that he had no idea why this government might want to use signal or why the government in general doesn’t allow the app on federal phones and machines is laughable

Well, when you see how Fox can’t define DEI, you’ll see why. Plus I guess they wanted some scripted defenses when the AI said yes. Seems like it said NO an awful lot

Did you hear the bit about how a 50% pay cut is no big deal and he’s already made so much money he doesn’t need a salary anymore?

Indeed. Wait til you see the other guy!

Yes. She needed to stay home that day. He is a curious mix for sure. GenZ nihilism for sure.

Angelika Saleh, the Angelika of Angelika Film Center, Dies at 90

This is the kind of NYT obit that I love. I learned so much about a place I thought I knew well. Lots of hours and dollars spent at the Angelika.

I guess this is a backhanded compliment?

Does this mean he will allow regulations like other utilities?

Of course, utilities are highly regulated.

The #DogeBro who canceled my #NEH grant said he didn’t think it was a big deal to have a 50% pay cut to take the DOGE job. He also didn’t think anyone should think it a big deal. He also made enough money at 24 that he never needs a salary again.

Working on a Substack post and came across this Guerrilla Girls poster I had missed. May have come out in 2016 but, alas, still relevant ten years later. This image from Tate Modern. www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/...

UGH! One of the many reasons why Putin's aggression in #Ukraine matters. It doesn't end there. Tired of the #doomscrolling? Check out the tweaks I've made to substack.com/@anneleader/.... More to come!
