Thursday, Dec 11, 5-8pm: The main branch of the #CambridgePublicLibrary hosts a community discussion on AI:

The Town Hall, cosponsored by Innovators for Purpose (iFp), Joint Family, the Hope Group, and the Library, offers an opportunity to learn about AI, explore what is at stake and what is possible, and consider how we can shape a more humane and equitable future. The event will include a resource showcase, from 5-6 p.m., followed by two panel discussions, and opportunities for community feedback from 6-8 p.m. Light refreshments will be served.

Panelists include digital artist Dr. Nettrice Gaskins; Dr. Pedro Reynolds-Cuellar, a Research Scientist at the Robotics and AI Institute; Mark Lannigan, the Regional Director for Senator Ed Markey; Dr. Nathan Sanders, a Data Scientist at the Harvard Berkman Klein Center; Dr. Maria Madison, the Principal Investigator in the Racial Justice and Tech Program at Brandeis University’s Heller School for Social Policy and Management; Dr. Deb Roy, the Director of the Constructive Communication Center at the MIT Media Labs; and Dr. Dia Ghosh, the Founder of Joint Family. Panelists will also include Gianluca Álvarez and Jeremy Miranda Casildo, youth AI Research Interns with Innovators for Purpose.

I’m not much of a singer, but I love going to sing-along Handel Messiahs every year nonetheless. This year we went to St. James Episcopal Church in Cambridge/Porter Square. #singing #cambridgema

can you imagine standing up in a public meeting, and saying these words in front of other humans and also reporters???

--->One woman simply asked, “What other communities and towns have been attacked with this affordable housing idea? Does everybody always have to live in Cambridge?”

#BostonWeekend 21x Sun MARKET noon-6 @ 438 Somerville Ave Artist Studios hosts 30+ local artisans - including @downstairs in the music studio (have you seen the new bag designs she's been posting to the fediverse?) - stop by while you're in #UnionSquare #SomervilleMA for the Jingle Mingle maybe? But also a pleasant walk from #PorterSquare #HarvardSquare or #DavisSquare - and its right by #MarketBasket and #BowMarket so you can get a bunch of shopping done :) IDK but I'll be there, come! https://www.instagram.com/p/DRH9WgZjgAo/ #ShopLocal #Artist #Art #shopping #handmade #Somerville #CambridgeMA #Boston #BostonArt

#BostonWeekend 7x Fri FILM Rian Johnson's Time Travel flic from '09 - #Looper at #MIT Museum - $15, $5 with MIT ID, limited free student tixx avail.

"A major crime mob in 2074 has a clever way of getting rid of people — sending them to the past, where paid killers known as Loopers are waiting for their marks. When Looper Joe (#JosephGordonLevitt) discovers that the target in front of him is his future self (#BruceWillis), he accidentally lets him go, starting a chain reaction of pursuit and violence. Older Joe will stop at nothing to change his fate while younger Joe is chased by the mob, and a mother (#EmilyBlunt) and her young son get caught up in the danger.

With a special screening of the short film #Steeplechase before the feature.

Following the presentation, stick around to ask MIT researchers all your burning questions about the art and science of time travel."

Hey #cambridgema #somervillema #BikeTooter folks! Can someone tell me what's going on at the Porter Square Shopping Center? It looks like they have replaced the decent bike racks near Tags with um planters?? Say it ain't so? :/

Whether or not we’re actually going to get snow here in Cambridge tomorrow, I guess it is time to get the snow shovels and the salt and sand out of the garage where they’re buried. #mawx #cambridgema

Enjoying that #BrattleFilm in #CambridgeMA will be running #TerryGilliam's classic film #Brazil for all shows starting the evening of 12/25-12/30. Lovely new 4k restoration, too! #BostonFilm #Boston

#ShamelessSelfPromotion yooo next market is Dec. 7 at the Milk Row Studios Holiday Market. There will be 50+ other vendors (plus two other markets full of local artists and makers within a few short blocks) aka: if you need to do some holiday shopping and you want to keep Somerville weird, you could do a lot worse than hitting up Union Square on Sun. Dec. 7.

Milk Row (where I’ll be, not sure of which floor or accessibility info): 438 Somerville Ave. 12-6p
Aeronaut’s Holiday Market: 14 Tyler St. 1-6p
