A federal judge ruled that fair use allowed Anthropic to train Claude on copyrighted books—but decided to send misguided “piracy” claims to trial. Facing copyright's ridiculous statutory penalties, Anthropic agreed to pay a record-breaking $1.5 billion to settle. nytimes.com/2025/09/05/technol…
Anyway I guess I'm kind of an air quality nerd... I'm the guy who in 2015 well before the pandemic normalized masks, showed up to kids soccer practices wearing an N95 because of allergies... I'm the guy who has a HEPA air filter in every room in the house. We are the family who had very acceptable levels of indoor air quality when fires burned on the hills near us in 2020 so that we couldnt see across our backyard from smoke... I may be overzealous in promoting air quality...

Statues may be serious by design, but when people interact with them in just the right way, the results are pure comedy. In this playful collection, we’ve gathered ten perfectly timed photos where visitors bring stone and bronze to life—creating illusions, jokes, and unexpected stories in public spaces across the world. From statues kicking back to share a phone screen to a child seamlessly joining a bronze line of kids, these moments blend humor, art, and spontaneity.
A young boy wearing a blue backpack stands in perfect sync with a row of bronze children sculptures, making him appear as part of the installation. The pose and facial expression complete the illusion with subtle humor.
2. Tug of Dog
A Labrador interacts with a sculpture mid-pull, making it seem like it’s biting the statue dog’s tail to help pull the whole group.
3. Sad Together
A little girl in a red dress sits curled up beside a statue posed in the exact same way. The peaceful garden setting and mirrored body language give a surprising emotional resonance to this scene.
4. Hair Flip
Caught mid-motion, a woman appears to be smacked in the face by a statue. The playful timing gives this otherwise elegant stone sculpture a mischievous twist.
5. Tug-of-War
A man playfully joins a dramatic bronze sculpture depicting a woman pulling a child away. He grabs the child’s extended arm, completing the scene as if caught in a tug-of-war between two parents.
6. Dragged Away
A man lies on the ground with one leg lifted, positioned so it looks like the bronze statue of Ronald Reagan is dragging him across the pavement by the foot.
7. The Sneaky Luggage Thief
A tourist leans down to grab the suitcase of a couple embracing in a statue, looking over his shoulder as if caught mid-theft. The casual outfit and comic timing sell the scene.
8. Lady Liberty’s Lighter — Statue of Liberty, New York, USA
A tourist angles his head to appear as if he’s lighting a cigarette from the flame of the Statue of Liberty. Clever positioning and perspective tricks turn this iconic statue into a personal lighter.
9. Nose Pick
A man stands in front of a bust with its finger raised, aligning his face so it appears the statue is picking his nose. Childish humor, perfectly executed.
10. Scroll Buddy
A man sits on a bench next to a robed bronze figure and holds his phone out, appearing to show the statue something on the screen. The statue’s bowed head and posture make it look like it’s genuinely interested.
11. The Policeman’s Belly
A street statue of a rotund policeman gets attention from passersby, with visitors often stopping to rub the shiny bronze belly for luck.
12. The Weight of Grief — Reno, Nevada
A child reaches out to touch The Weight of Grief by Celeste Roberge, a crouching figure made of welded steel filled with river stones. The sculpture embodies the crushing burden of sorrow, turning heavy material into a deeply human form that resonates with loss and memory.

Рассвет на озере Солнце только-только показалось из-за деревьев, мелко нашинковав утренний туман на полоски пробившимися сквозь листву лучиками. И в утренней, не зябкой ещё по осеннему прохладе, разлилось тепло, предвещая по летнему тёплый день... #photography #WTphoto #nature #landscape #lake #природа #пейзаж #озеро
One of the big myths at the heart of the Abundance lobby is that we have actual scarcity now. We do not. We have abundance already, maintained by state violence. We need redistribution not deregulation.
The Abundance lobby is about rebranding neoliberalism rather than making structural changes to redistribute the abundance that already exists. Which is why it's funded by Silicon Valley and Koch-backed projects seeded by venture capitalists.
We should always remember that economic consolidation equates to economic and political decision-making power. The richest people in the world are deciding what gets built what gets invested in and of course, whom it benefits, which is themselves.
If there’s any lack, it’s because what they want to build make some money has nothing to do with whether everyone else prospers. We live in a world where mutual prosperity is wholly irrelevant.

come accennavo nella precedente presentazione, cercavo un luogo dove poter far vetrina delle 'robe che cucio'.
sono completamente autodidatta e mi muovo con il passaparola per ricevere commissioni per consolidare tecniche e ampliare gli orizzonti, oltre che per guadagnarmi da vivere.
studio modellistica appena ho un attimo, ma mi appoggio anche ad artigiani modellisti che creano cartamodelli che poi cucirò per voi (adulti e bambini).
uso solo tessuti certificati, da rivenditori scelti.
come piattaforma ho scelto di utilizzare Pixelfed.uno.
sperando di non sbagliare proverò a linkare la mia vetrina.
fatemi sapere se l'operazione è andata a buon fine, grazie

> A classified Israeli army database indicates that the vast majority of the 6,000 Palestinians who have been arrested in Gaza and held in appalling conditions in Israeli detention are civilians … > Both rights groups and Israeli soldiers have described an even smaller ratio of fighters among those rounded up in Gaza than what emerges from the leaked data.
Immigrants grow the economy, which creates jobs for both immigrants and non-immigrants. Thus they don't steal jobs from Americans, but instead create jobs for Americans. The people arguing otherwise have always been ignorant or liars and now we get to see that ignorance and dishonesty in action.

@notjustbikes someone who just joined our local strong towns chapter says they started getting into urbanism from you. and you were also my first brush with urbanism. You're really doing the Lord's work, goddamn!
Apparently a few years ago my channel was the number one source of new members to Strong Towns.
I suspect that's not the case anymore, as I don't cover Strong Towns subjects as often, but I'm really glad to hear there's still a halo effect happening!

From cloaked figures with hidden faces to elongated women draped in textured gowns, the sculptures of Philip Henry Christopher Jackson transform landscapes into theatrical stages. Seen in ruins, gardens, and historic courtyards, his creations carry masks of gold and robes of shadow, leaving viewers caught between awe and unease.
This collection brings together some of his most striking works, including installations in the UK’s historic sites and lush outdoor settings.
Three faceless figures in heavy cloaks stand together, one hand cast in shining gold. Placed against ancient stone ruins, the work evokes mystery and ritual.
A tall figure sits in quiet thought, her massive curved headdress edged in gold. The textured surface of her gown contrasts with the smooth mask, blending elegance with abstraction.
Three towering figures with sharp, angular headdresses rise from the grass, their hands and masks gleaming gold. The open field setting heightens their monumental presence.
A solitary figure with folded arms and a golden mask leans against the backdrop of a stone church wall. The elongated robe roots the sculpture to the ground, giving it a commanding stance.
A seated figure with a wide circular headdress gazes outward from a black bench. The golden mask reflects sunlight, adding drama to the garden landscape.
Several cloaked figures in dark robes and gold masks gather outside a cathedral, paired with a seated counterpart nearby. Together, they evoke a scene of silent ritual.
This silver-toned figure stands tall in a gown detailed with a line of golden buttons. The sculpture combines grace with strength through its rigid stance and geometric headdress.
A figure sits among trees, her angular headdress casting shadow over her face. The surface texture of her gown adds depth, blending sculpture with the woodland environment.
Two seated figures in theatrical robes share a bench, their golden masks peering out from beneath angular headdresses. The backdrop of historic stone walls amplifies their dramatic presence.
The Glass Slipper — A silver figure in a flowing dress steps forward with one leg extended, placed at the edge of a pond beneath an arched trellis. The wide headdress frames the figure dramatically against the greenery.
I, a wheelchair-propelled disabled person, should not have to be giving All of my doctors a Ted Talk on why LLMs should not be used in the diagnostic process. I have WAY too much work as it is trying to keep the government from killing me and trying to be a functional person while my nerves are on fire. I am so entirely tired of this mind-numbing trend.
