When I left uni in NINETEEN-NINETY-FOUR, I was paid $40K for my first job, two thirds of the amount your organisation offers 31 years later. Can you see what the problem might be?
Analysis of US college syllabi by the Open Syllabus project shows that bell hooks is assigned more than Aristotle, Judith Butler more than Plato, Edward Said more than than Kant, and Foucault more than everybody. (Thanks to Jon Shields for these comparisons.) https://t.co/Nz2lIgf4po
Four years after relaunching @ACMI our visitors are still averaging 15,000 unique Lens taps per day.
Over the weekend XOS recorded its 20,000,000th unique tap from our fleet of NFC enabled BalenaOS Raspberry Pis.
That’s a lot of film museum collection items our visitors have saved, shared, and explored on their post-visit dashboard.
Well done little machines. 🥹

It's more art than science. There's no formula. Just taste, psychology, and chaos tolerance.
What is happening with housing is very interesting in Spain. As the government are essentially saying the private sector just cannot be trusted with housing. So, they are going to effectively nationalise and massively regulate a load of the market. This is very interesting. 1
People don’t wanna tell you this but I made most of my connections by going out 5 times a week for a year straight when I first moved to nyc. Those connections I made at the club are the reason why I have a career, salary, benefits, financial security all of that.
