‘Earlier on Thursday, rumors had swirled online about the possible arrival of the Tzadik catalog on streaming services. On Friday, Zorn’s distributor, Redeye, confirmed that the move would happen, next week. This is big news …’ https://t.co/QnAVLtuyDF

‘Blending sly humor and artistic daring with soft-spoken dignity, Mr. Fowlkes was the “balancing magician” of the Jazz Passengers, Roy Nathanson, the band’s co-founder and saxophonist, said in a phone interview.’ https://t.co/Zpn8Rjz185

‘But as today’s computers struggle with even simple tasks and play fast and loose with the truth, others believe that the industry can learn from Dr. Lenat and his never-ending struggle to build common sense by hand.’ https://t.co/7gGLvyMxWS

‘“Making the computer into a machine that we can use to produce visual and print culture, that wasn’t foreordained … That’s where he was really instrumental.”’ https://t.co/EsqSfN7YL7

[João Claro @joaoaclaro]

‘“Thanks to the opportunities granted me to learn, I am not the person I was supposed to be. Rather, I am the person that I dreamed of becoming.” Faust was supposed to have been a Southern belle, Simmons an impoverished sharecropper.’ https://t.co/wXFN5wHTnH

‘For “Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols” (1977), the band’s only album before they broke up in 1978, he conjured a sense of mystery and malevolence using cutout letters.’ https://t.co/9vsTXLADRf

‘The impact of plate tectonics was immediate. It offered a unified framework for research across the natural sciences, opening the door to new advances in seismology, volcanology and evolutionary biology.’ https://t.co/5vgqeURBXX

‘trees of the sallow type _ along a stream _ gave out that same elusive smell which has pervaded the whole journey … its overwhelming sweetness, brought the minarets of Herat before my eyes … will remind me _ Afghanistan as a cedar wardrobe _ childhood.’ https://t.co/nUCbZBNaY3

‘The genesis of the transformer _ helps to account for how we got to this moment in artificial intelligence (…) it also highlights how Google’s evolution into a large bureaucratic incumbent has stifled its ability to let entrepreneurialism flourish …’ https://t.co/40e9yb5iCb

[João Claro @joaoaclaro]

‘“The French Connection” injected realism and violence into hard-boiled thrillers … “The Exorcist” changed critical attitudes toward horror … paved the way for the gentrification of B movies that has given us “Star Wars,” the “Raiders of the Lost Ark”…’ https://t.co/Ik8ahwZh60

‘When the light turned lavender, two small figures emerged from the screened-in sleeping porch … watched the cottage like cautious deer… turned toward the creek and were gone, the horse’s haunches disappearing among the trees, the dogs trotting after.’ https://t.co/QnNlTNtAxZ

At a conference I attended, someone at the table asked the astronaut what he was thinking as the rocket lifted off the launch pad. He replied, "Thank God, all that administrative crap is over."

‘asked _ in 1963 to list some of the books that had shaped his philosophical outlook, Oppenheimer named ten. At the top of the list was Baudelaire’s Les fleurs du mal’ https://t.co/IMdg6JYGv5

[João Claro @joaoaclaro]

‘Professor Frankfurt became best known for a single, irreverent paper … Whereas the liar is at least mindful of the truth (if only to avoid it), the “bullshitter” _ is distinguished by his complete indifference to how things are.’ https://t.co/aNptipiFwN
