Oh, I am a dumb butt. I should have mentioned if #SouthernGothic isn't your thing, you can add that term (and #AppalachianGothic) to your filters list and you can still follow me and not see any of those posts...if I was alert enough to tag them...which I wasn't. I'm going to start over...
I'm going to be sharing #SouthernGothic images / music for the next two weeks. So, heads up if that's not your thing. It will all be over by May 16th.
There’s a really interesting exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum now showing reconstructions of ancient statues according to scientists’ understanding of the colors their surfaces originally bore.
(It’s been known for a long time that ancient sculptures as a rule were polychrome, not the blank white we normally see in museums.)
The reconstructions also smooth out the chips and dings the stone originals accumulated over millennia.
So, how long will it be before new Roomba models come complete with cameras and microphones to "help Amazon keep your house as clean as possible"? Do you think they'll make the vacuums Alexa speakers so they can play your favorite music while they clean and spy on you?

👋 As part of upcoming milestones, we're implementing a way for users to create circles (like in the old G+), but going beyond using it to define audiences (i.e. visibility of content), with very granular ways to define permissions on what you post (i.e. so you can give one of your circles permission to edit your post, or use it simply to lock-down who can reply, etc): https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/223
#MachineLearning / #ArtificialIntelligence should never be allowed to make ethical decisions.
Nazis shouldn't either.
If your idea of revolution isn't based on love and does not feature empathy for the marginalised as its primary motivator, I want nothing to do with it. Accelerationists just want to live out some post-apocalyptic fantasy they assume they'd be badass in because they feel inadequate in the real world. It's an ableist world-view that heartlessly condemns people with medical dependencies to death. The disabled are comrades and they deserve a better world.
