@bruces people been trying to guess but i don't know if anyone has captured the fullness of what urban-industrial-financial civ "coming down from the trees" would look like
assuming detente, there's much more "we can do it" potential than our embrace of individuation lets us recognize
an ios ipados 17 beta bug of timers getting canceled w/o ever making a sound is a weird situation
①go to clock app
②start a timer for same length as display auto-lock
③put device down, leaving screen on
④when timer ends, auto-lock will cancel the alarm
finally witnessed it!
i thought it'd go w/o saying that not being able to read onscreen controls (including keys on keyboard) is sloppy to point of ridiculous
i know, the junkies are accelerating into the sun
how about a big red "prefer swiping" button in settings that the rest of us can switch off
@fchollet if such a collective was not allowed to work on making practical, pluralistic, secure & ecologically-sound solutions the most affordable, how would you represent that as a shape
@bruces if we argue empires rise by climbing practical advantages (and for fun let's say they die of overgeneralization), STEM might seem to have closed that loop, since it seeks to weigh & measure all things (incl those hidden by motive dogma)
is cherry-picking from THAT a new delusion
@bruces there's a joke:
the original post discussed a study where people preferred dumb syrupy bot-made poems over original work by recognized poets
yishan misrepresents the written poems as low quality
did the error come from him relying on a bad summary, or from poor comprehension?
'portici' (dir by lois weber) adapted a ballet & has many dances by ~les russes~ (who usually refused film cuz their art was large & live)
already then a review said pavlova "would be quite lost in a story of so-called modern realism"
several bits done for medium/close framing
❝edna purviance appeared in 33 chaplin productions, including her 1923 leading role 'a woman of paris'
they were romantically involved during the making of their films 1915–1917
the romance ended suddenly when she read a news report of chaplin having married a 16-year-old❞
years later (did i think i wouldn't)
i have to add 'the dumb girl of portici' (1916) starring ballet russes–adjacent anna pavlova
where you'll witness a world class 'new' dancer doing the (dramatic) pantomime, before feature film body language hardened

& we're tracking back to like whitman & such ecstatics, our wild transcendent root here being isadora duncan "seeking that dance which might be the divine expression of the human spirit thru the medium of the body's movement"—really gotta love these people https://t.co/gKR7o3WEhp
