There is debate as to whether blowing up data centres actually does stop bots but I say we keep blowing them up and then study the data, yeah?

A girl and her dog.

Our daughter believes in never giving any dog food. She will not buy their love. And yet, they love her just the same.

In the photo, we see a round patch of cleared ground, in the center of which is a girl, knees bent, toes pointed, feet just slightly lifted above the ground. Behind the girl is a lovely white dog, all four feet on the ground, planted together, gripping the leash in its bright white teeth.

We see the shadows of the girl and the dog behind them.

In the background, we see a field of pine trees in the bright sunlight, with blue sky above it.

The dog is long gone. The girl is grown. I think about this day and this photo all the time.

In case you're wondering about the future of art in the era of AI, today I learned about Scarlet Deer Inn, a videogame where the characters were animated with *embroidery*

A sewing machine embroiders an animation of a girl running, from the game Scarlet Deer Inn.

The next step is being ready for street protests and general strikes when Trump, Vance, Mike Johnson, and ultimately the Roberts 6 try to thwart actual Democratic and Independent winners from taking office. 5/

Animated pygmy nuthatch in my backyard

Pygmy nuthatches frequent our back yard, often in fairly large groups. They visit in sixes and sevens.

The one in the photo pretty much hung out by itself throughout its time with us.

In the shot I've chosen, the bird appears to be dancing along the edge of a grey table-top in from of the redwood uprights of our deck.

Its wings are raised and blurred and the feathers of the wings are spread. The right foot of the bird is dipping down below the top of the table. The left foot of the bird may be resting on the table or perhaps it is represented as a yellow smear above the top of the top. The yellow legs/toes are blurred. The bird's lovely blue-and-white head is in focus. The bird's pastel orange belly and side are blurry, as is its tail.

The very first shipment of 300K tons of Russian diesel—carried by the tanker Minerva Zen, which left St. Petersburg on September 22—arrived on the US East Coast less than 24 hours after the deal was formally announced.
