My most read post of the year was an incredibly long rundown about the end of The Digital Cultures Lab (https://t.co/GJwsWLMbDr). That thing that was but somehow also wasn’t; so it is with humanities labs.

A bit more whimsical than The Memory Palace poems (https://t.co/gDBrBeBMA5@…), but so it be. This one hijacks the poems written by HD and Amy Lowell in "Some Imagist Poets".. read all you want every 192.2 seconds here: https://t.co/6trEJWYmXL

New poetry bot up and running... just sitting here waiting for the blusky code... and hanging on the mastodon (@[email protected]).

Someone in Paris, France is thinking of you.

@wilkinspeter @tickingboy @ernestopriego It was a lovely memory when that came through. I thought maybe everyone was up to something because I had forgotten about this poster. I still have D’s poster hanging in the office!

Why is editing / proofreading important?

[David N. Wright @davidnwright]

I wonder how faculty would feel if, as a condition of receiving their salary, they had to submit their syllabi, grading rubrics, and assignments to a company that would check for “originality" and then use the data to build a database to check other submissions from colleagues.

New project…

[David N. Wright @davidnwright]

@Liz_Mc2 Boom! (That was fast!!)

Your porous disused structure erodes;
this cricket an act of heritage.

[David N. Wright @davidnwright]

It sure seems like the way we treat AI in the public sphere rhymes with approaches to cultural exclusion, invalidation, and infantilization.

[David N. Wright @davidnwright]

’m getting more and more interested in what the way we treat emerging AI (particularly GPT) says about our tendencies to marginalize & demonize difference. I mean, let’s take it that the AI is sentient, what does our derision of it then say about how we treat “difference”?

[David N. Wright @davidnwright]

Depending on how we engage with the above questions, we might well want to rethink how we treat AI and how academic contexts particularly are “liberal” and “welcoming” to a diversity of thought and cultural perspectives.

Your lover's teddy bear breaks delicately;
this bramble a memory machine.

[Memory Palace @MemoryPalace7]

Your daughter's tin can gestures for terminal structures;
this lavender an unmaking of material substance.

[David N. Wright @davidnwright]

This might be it… the boy had a good run… but, changing times…

[Memory Palace @MemoryPalace7]

Your collapsed liability interprets shared histories;
this erosion a necessity of forgetting.

[David N. Wright @davidnwright]

@brennacgray You just have to plant it and let it grow! I mean, ffs, cross-post at least… either that or let Groot set up a mastodon account and set them lose. (Might prefer the latter actuawly…)

[David N. Wright @davidnwright]

@brennacgray Why am I not seeing this commentary on Mastodon. Those of in that room need a little entertainment! (Also, I stand with Groot’s riot in the bedshire.)
