I did a short talk about Flickr Commons today for local heritage organizations on the Isle of Wight. Do you know an organization which would be a good fit for Flickr Commons? Let me know or have them get in touch with me.

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. This is the weekend I get my wood in (i.e. have pellets delivered) so I'm thinking of chillier days even though it's 70° outside. Trust me, you'll feel better if you make some plans for what's ahead, however you interpret that. Have a good weekend. Image credit: Library of Congress, on Flickr Commons flickr.com

ah, those 'heritage americans' named rinaldi... Quoting @MattRinaldiTX Cowards like @JohnCornyn mortgaged our children’s future for government handouts and cheap labor. Now they are joining with Democrats to elect Marxists. Absolutely contemptible people. America Related

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. My "big plans" today involve sawhorses and telephones and catching up on my newspaper reading. Argue all you want about AI, the analog world will be here when you're done, mostly. Schedule those emails. Have a good weekend.

Architects oppose the kinds of buildings that most people like. (I’ve wondered if one could further corroborate this by using Flickr/Instagram or similar to investigate the building traits that correlate with photo frequency.) Quoting @SCP_Hughes Does the public prefer traditional architecture? Half a century of surveys find: https://t.co/SojOiJGEbV - Between 60 and 95 percent prefer traditional architecture; - This pattern holds across gender, class, race, nationality and political views; - More traditional densification schemes seem to at… Related

You can build a dragon curve recursively in a simple way, as shown here by Jahobr: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dragon_Curve_unfolding_zoom_numbered.gif But there's another very different way you can get a dragon curve! It's much more mysterious, but recently there's been progress on figuring it out. (1/n) Related

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. I'm deep in my Massachusetts visit, becoming one of those people who can't look at a place without remembering what used to be there. My birthday is tomorrow, so there are all sorts of opportunities for reflecting and remembering. Oh and I guess it's a holiday weekend in the US, so maybe schedule those emails for Tuesday.

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. I'm out of town helping my sister after she recovers from a medical procedure (she's doing well!). I'm out of my routine and pretty well out of my inbox and DEFINITELY out of it after 5 pm. Be mindful about what you ask for from other people, but just do your best. Have a restful weekend.

Their words
What I would not like to see is one person or or a few people coming from industry and telling everybody what to do. I think that would be dangerous because market forces are different from uh societal norms and culture and heritage are different from uh education and ethics and and these are multistakeholder problems to solve together.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
