@mehdirhasan The pencil-necked bully doth protest too much. Provide an argument @mehdirhasan — not the cowardly, evidence-free “grifter” smear.
Or don’t, and perhaps some network will allow you to interrupt people for a living again.
Carry on @MaxBlumenthal

Here’s a pre-internet example of networked art that’s nearly 40 years old. A live microwave transmission from the Bronx was algorithmicly “painted” at a studio in Brooklyn in real time, and returned, live, back to the Bronx. The *event* was a proof of concept of networked art, and the artwork itself.

@Reuters Actually… that tracks perfectly.

@CozomoMedici Maybe ´cause the Incans nailed it millennia ago?

@TFL1728 I’ll be using Yet.

The presupposition that Taibbi and Greenwald are now « right-wingers » is the foundational predicate from which the rest of this article unfolds — it demands that readers accept this as a naturally observable fact, like the existence of the sun. Tossing Bari Weiss in is the rebar in cementing this dubious « fact » foisted on the unwary reader. I reject this juvenile, manipulative notion of left and right, as well as the guilt-by-arbitrary-proximity trickery from Mr. Higgins. And I mourn the death of The Nation.

@BrianRoemmele This photo is from 2006 — right before it closed — and AFAIK by Chris Stein, the guitarist of Blondie. I played there in the early 90s, the bathroom was more or less the same.

Aaaanddd... CBGB's bathroom from the last two weeks it was open Oct 2006 so this must be the height of it's curative powers

@BrianRoemmele @JohnNosta Of interest: A discussion from a 1977 conference at The Kitchen NYC about AI and Art. Organized by George Chaikin, with Minsky on the panel, among others (tell me what you think of Minsky's input @BrianRoemmele).

@BrianRoemmele And this can seep into its output.
For prompt:
"Please give me 500 words on Churchill's failure at the Dardanelles."
Output includes:
"Additionally, psychological factors impacted morale, as the defeat left a lasting阴影 on British soldiers."
<thinking> was all in English...

@MaxBlumenthal The hint of menace I’m seeing is stormtrooper truncheons cracking skulls and kneecaps, followed by a night in the dungeon.

@ggreenwald When did Chomsky get a facelift and become a Republican?

@UsefulIdiotpod @aaronjmate @mttwilson @kthalps I added about 15 songs there. Felt a tiny bit spammy but there wasn’t much going on… a reflection of the anti-war movement? Enjoy.

@sohornyloljk @geekmiguelito @DanielB83025210 @wabashsphinx @ggreenwald @Bobb_Dobbs Don’t worry bobe. I could tell.

[Mir @nicholasmir]

@geekmiguelito @DanielB83025210 @wabashsphinx @ggreenwald @Bobb_Dobbs @sohornyloljk I wish you luck but it won’t work. USAers are so hobbled by propaganda and our crippled education system that lots of them think Nancy Pelosi is a socialist rather than the textbook definition of far-right: the fusion of corporate interests with government.

[Mir @nicholasmir]

@wabashsphinx @ggreenwald Because those people aren’t leftists. They are far-right warmongering serial fabulists whose smug dismissal of people who care about our futures and freedoms is as palpable as an ice pick to the forehead. “Democrats” being “left” ended a while ago.
