Ah, another article where someone brings up William Blake as if his oceanic visions are going to be our savior from AI overlords 🤖. Because nothing screams "modern solution" like an 18th-century poet sitting by the sea 🌊. Surely, Blake's spectral musings will single-handedly halt the impending machine apocalypse 🦾.

Apparently, Thursday is kite day. It's the day that you're reminded to go buy a kite and put it in your car/backpack, so that, come the weekend, you've got one handy.
Tyger will NOT be participating.

If there is hope for film-making, it is somewhere else.
Hollywood has long become a mere industry
in the "dark Satanic mills" sense.And to repeat the well-known, monopolies and oligopolies are BAD.
But it has all been said before.
If I had the time, I would watch again
The Player
and
S1m0ne
and then to cheer myself up,
François Truffaut's
Day for Night
("American Night", La Nuit Américaine)."Ars Gratia Artis",
gone with the wind...From the BBC:

He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: General Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized particulars.

"The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun," William Blake, c. 1805.
Blake (1757-1827) was one of the great visionary artists of all time. Both his paintings and poetry were hugely influential on the Romantic movement. He was a friend of Thomas Paine, although he had his disagreements with both the American and French revolutions, and was also involved in mysticism. He had his own idiosyncratic beliefs, and even today biographers have a hard time classifying his spirituality; it was definitely Christian but also rejected the Church of England and any other recognized denomination.
This is one of a series of illustrations he did as part of a commission to illustrate the Bible. Here, he depicts Revelations 12, which mentions a "great red dragon."
Blake is a fascinating and diverse character I need to learn much more about. He had a fervent religiosity about him, but was also a believer in free love and rejected many of Christianity's ideas of virtue and chastity. His poetry involved various revisions of the traditional creation story. He was also a huge influence on the Beat Generation and some feel his idea prefigure Karl Jung's ideas of the psyche. In other words, there's a lot going on there.
