I think Rian Johnson's Last Jedi is going to be recognized for the minor masterpiece it is someday. it critiques through careful deconstruction the mythos of powerful, legendary people and moral clarity, of chosen ones and heroes. he sought to redefine who could be a Jedi—to include everyone.

okay I hate to admit it but those hue lamps that Philips makes are perfect autism lighting. diffuse glowing light all around you, in any color and brightness you want, all the way down to something so dim you can't even see it unless it's pitch black. you can even make them flicker like candlelight.

My newest @archive.org upload: the first of about 20 LDs of early 90s supermarket in-store promotional material. It's mostly slow panning hero shots of paper towels and deli meats. I love it? There's only one disc ripped right now but I'll add to the collection over time. archive.org/details/in-s...

To wit, the issues we're seeing with students using ShitGPT aren't out of student laziness or lack of will: it is a consequence of the broader systemic structures impacting education. And it needs a systemic solution.

To be clear, I include Tech VC assholes as part of this systemic structure.

imagine being some guy who happened to be on a boat in 1500, wrote a letter about it, and ended up being the namesake of multiple continents and the richest empire in the world.
