@BrianRoemmele GenX’s fascination with AI is ruining us all (for the record, it’s my generation). This is nothing like a night at an actual club - it looks staged, the pauses are fake, etc. Stop ruining the world with a toy.

@dieworkwear Very excited to teach from Torn in my history of photography classes where we explore the role of photography in reflecting and shaping fashion. The section on PoMo fashion needs an update. Although Grace Jones still rules.

@dieworkwear Words to live by

@AlijahLettieri @UrbanCourtyard @Waymo You’re joking, right?

[Greg Foster-Rice @ProfGFR]

@chrisgpt Well, it’s partly because it’s not that impressive. It’s obvious within seconds that it’s about the sheer spectacle of goo and that there’s no rhyme, reason, or concept behind why these paintings? Why these images? It’s
visually exciting…but only for a second. Forgetable.

@dieworkwear @c_bedford97 Do you know what suit Peter is wearing? It's amazing.

[Greg Foster-Rice @ProfGFR]

@ColumbiaChi So awesome! Huge congrats to Robin and her colleagues!

@heavypulp @DHSgov Art in the age of AI - image recyclers getting recycled by govt accounts w/out credit. Then viewers use grok to identify the account from which it was recycled. Appropriation itself is not new but the rapidity and degredation of human agency in the process is new.

@dieworkwear That suit is amazing. Simultaneously Traditional and Radical in its deployment of windowpane.

@ColumbiaChi @ColumCinemaTV Congrats Molly! Well deserved!

@HefSteph @AndrewFeinberg Aha. So, January 6th was clearly illegal since protestors broke windows, forced open offices, and defiled the offices our our duly elected representatives. Thanks for the clarification.

@elonmusk @DOGE So, wait a second, you’re using a social media poll to make decisions that are in violation of basic HR norms, let alone human decency? You really cannot do your own job, can you Elon?

[Greg Foster-Rice @ProfGFR]

@KCEsq @dieworkwear Perhaps. But also, those statues would not have generated international discourse without photography, and then the internet, to spawn a degree of access to them. Instead, some of them would be known only to a few clergymen.

[Greg Foster-Rice @ProfGFR]

@dieworkwear @dieworkwear - As a photo historian, you are not wrong. I would also add that what photography, memes, and AI share is their mass reproducibility. There is no singular object anywhere (no original like Michelangelo’s David, for example). There’s just a lot of identical copies.

@anecdotal But achieving a sense of mattering and belonging does mean setting aside some class time to help onboard first generation students to an experience that may be unfamiliar to them and their families. Higher Ed is a rather arcane place!

[Greg Foster-Rice @ProfGFR]

@anecdotal My institution serves > 50% first generation students. My classroom is more effective (pedagogically + in terms of completion rates), when my students feel they belong and matter. It’s challenging and I don’t have all the answers.

@DrAllyLouks This is how you do it. Congrats!
