🇫🇷 “La France est sauvée!” says Ali Akbar with a big grin on his face and he sells me a copy of today’s edition of Le Monde. Mr Akbar has been hawking newspapers in the Quartier Latin for more than 50 years and he’s set to receive France’s highest honour.

As w AI slop, content slop/ordinary slop takes the sociality out of art & aesthetics: "To succeed as licensable content, “Ordinary” had to be flexible enough to adapt and give voice to a wide array of private individual feelings and experiences"

One gets the impression, throughout the period, that there were a great many ideas floating about whose sole value was to console, and occupy the time of, those who had them.

Today (date), the Slender-billed Curlew was declared extinct. The first bird extinction on mainland Europe in 500 years — on our watch. Extinction is final. No going back. Think about that.

There are, indeed, things that cannot be put into words. They make themselves manifest.
They are what is mystical.

Enjoyed reading this Mark Fell interview with Tone Glow. Particularly like the passages about UK polytechnics being centres of radical creativity (seems lost now), and about being in symbiosis with yer material. Lots of class music examples throughout too.
