If you enjoyed my piece on the grid in art (artologica.substack.com/p/on-the-grid), check out this work by Henry Segerman, using stereographic projection to create a grid on a flat surface using a 3D printed sphere and overhead lighting. youtu.be/VX-0Laeczgk?... #sciart 🧪

Stereographic projectionyoutu.be This shows a 3d print of a mathematical sculpture I produced using shapeways.com. This model is available at http://shpws.me/q41V.

Not sure if noctilucent clouds or downtown glow

Francie is here with a BLEP vs. MLEM tutorial. A blep is when the tongue is just hanging out at rest, stationary. Mlem is an action word for when the tongue is performing a licking motion - hence the name which is an onomatopoetic interpretation of the sound it makes.

There's a bakery up the street from me where they saw my email on an order and started drawing tubas on the bags. So I saved em for a year and made a collage for them. Which they then hung up and curated like a museum piece. I love em there and they're always happy to see me ❤️

Hurricane Beryl is likely going to make landfall in Texas in a few days. Corpus Christi to Galveston...Pay attention as tracks have been trending eastward (and may continue so) and possible intensification over the Gulf of Mexico. Plenty of warm water and favorable shear.... The future is here

There have to be more woodworkers on here, but one thing Bsky lacks is a great search function. Do any of y'all know any cool woodworkers on here to follow?

I really do believe that most people are basically good, mean well, and want to have a positive impact on the world

He has arrived.

I may be stupid, but when this mail arrived this week, I really thought it might be something election-related. Like, read the room, y’all. This is not the time.

Early mornings are the best, when the light in the house is dim, and the flies all gather at the bright windows.

If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again. anchoreditions.com/blog/dorothe...

I'm confident you did something good today. Maybe you didn't do 8 things you intended. Maybe you slipped and did a few things you regret. You can settle those later. Take a moment and find that good, and savor that. Reinforce that action. Maybe you can do 2 good things tomorrow.

The public web didn't come into being until 1994. There was no easy way to share video. (No YouTube until 2005.) We mailed tapes for screenings, festivals, public access TV, and more rarely, PBS. This episode of "The '90s" showcases some of the best independents making video on race issues.

The 90's, episode 306: Race And Racism - Red, White, And Black - Media Burn Archivemediaburn.org Episode 306 of the award winning series, The 90's. This episode is called "RACE AND RACISM - RED, WHITE AND BLACK" and features the following segments:

It's always a good day to listen to Gil Scott-Heron. Happy Independence Day! The 1970 recording of Gil Scott-Heron’s epic poem "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” is in the National Sound Registry for preservation at the Library of Congress.

Yes I ended my talk with a poetry reading. I send this poem to my parents every 4th of July. Here it is in full if you've never read it: poets.org/poem/let-ame...

In my early career award lecture at AERA last weekend, I ended my talk with a reading of an excerpt from Let America Be America Again

i really am going to be logged off for the holiday but i would like to drop off a parting thought: publishing a monarchist anti-voting take on the fourth of july is the strongest possible indication of someone's core, true values
