@DOEChancellor while we await the gun legislation and laws to protect our children and civilians, what can you do to protect our children today in DOE schools? Making entry more difficult into school buildings is a start, and what we pray would be just a temporary solution

"In developing a deeper understanding of intelligence, it would be a serious mistake to ignore the only design process which has lead to general intelligence: biological evolution."
Agreed! I'm so very much looking forward to seeing #AI related fields other than #ML #NN flourish!

[Actually, @eaton]

this is the best opening to a technical book the world has ever seen and i will fight anyone who says otherwise

[Archaeo - Histories @archeohistories]

Thousands of years ago, Inuit and Yupik people of Alaska and northern Canada carved narrow slits into ivory, antler and wood to create snow goggles. This diminished exposure to direct and reflected ultraviolet rays thereby reducing eye strain and preventing snow blindness.

Absolutely devastating and unbelievable

[LVMH @LVMH]

LVMH, Louis Vuitton and Off White are devastated to announce the passing of Virgil Abloh, on Sunday, November 28th, of cancer, which he had been battling privately for several years.

Yes, finally! After years of work and untangling how to do this, I’m proud that we did it. Major kudos to a partner like @stamen and @ericrodenbeck who were crazy enough to let us try

[Stamen Design (@[email protected]) @stamen]

It's official: our watercolor maps are live in the @smithsonian permanent collection https://t.co/8zOGRmY41U and pointed at @cooperhewitt

What a fantastic contribution to the field! @rhizome is always a great resource for those of us working in the sphere of collecting and caring for born-digital work, and consolidating their documentation and research is a win for all

[Rhizome @rhizome]

We’ve set up a new site, Almanac, to host documentation and general info about how we approach the care & handling of born-digital art. Enjoy! https://t.co/w3UJYMgTSP

Don't forget when celebrating this weekend:
It's the 100th anniversary of this iconic party.

The Substitute is a video work we acquired in 2019 into our nascent Digital Design collection. I’m excited to unpack tonite the issues and questions it provokes—de-extinction efforts, bioengineering ethics, strange natures—with Daisy and conservation scientist Dr. Kent Redford

[Cooper Hewitt @cooperhewitt]

July 1 is our turn to host Smithsonian's Viewfinder series, celebrating women-made films and videos held at Smithsonian. Explore the relationship between nature and technology with “The Substitute” by Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg. More info: https://t.co/MHDaCQNdHU #BecauseOfHerStory

@shannonmattern We love these use cases. It would be fun to document!

BREAKING: New York Senate becomes first legislative body in the United States to pass right to repair legislation. Incredible win for people who have been fighting for this for years

[Andrea Lipps @andreaLipps]

Collections! Thinking beyond the exhibition! Everything is digital (and not hi-res)! Love this. It will take visionary leadership to change the emphasis and recalibrate staff time post-covid towards new ways of doing https://t.co/VYzZXgEhak

@fdrubio1977 @stamen @cooperhewitt Thanks Fernando! We’re stoked 🙌

[Andrea Lipps @andreaLipps]

Watercolor Maptiles website by ⁦@stamen⁩ enters ⁦@cooperhewitt⁩ collection⁩. That’s cool, but what’s cooler is how we did it, by creating a live version of the site hosted on Smithsonian’s domain and servers and available under CC license https://t.co/itcJsIJLaj

[Andrea Lipps @andreaLipps]

@smathermather @stamen Yes! Exactly this! While we don’t have the bandwidth to collect and care for everything we’d like to, we’re slowly building models—and resources🤞—to help us get there, which can only happen with partners willing to experiment with us
