Well at least he died doing what he found himself able to tolerate as a means to an end

dear reviewers, please stop using $@%^ing LLMs to review papers. sincerely, the editor

Oh, I was way off! (I am in no way a classicist - it was the Irish text that caught my eye)

I found this, but it doesn't seem to be the verse in question (different edition?)

You've sent me down a real rabbit hole, but based on a cursory investigation, this seeems like a semantic (helmet->head/shield->shoulder), rather than phonetic translation error?

More importantly, what's the connection to this episode of the Táin?

in all sincerity, a strong commitment to dismantling the patriarchy is a trait I always find extremely attractive in a man

11/10 would read

Lemme just say if President Bernie Sanders had unilaterally imposed, by executive fiat, hundreds of billions of new taxes, personally browbeat executives about job cuts and investments and then fired the head of BLS, the Chamber of Commerce and the business orgs would not be sitting idly by.

I do firmly believe that refusing to outsource your basic cognitive functions to LLMs right now - as so many are stumbling over themselves to do right now, like hogs trotting to a pile of slop that’s been set up inside of a butcher’s delivery truck - will very much pay off in a few years.

I don't know, but it's an excuse to relate this (second-hand) story: a Chinese-Am friend once had a Greek roommate, and apparently the Greek equivalent to "it's all Greek to me" is "it's all Chinese to me," so theoretically there ought not be anything the two of them couldn't figure out

Hello.

It's almost been 10 years since UNDERTALE released.

Now, I'm looking for your memories.

Let's turn back together.

Face the flower and speak.

absolutely GEEKING OUT due to hearing 'nosotres' in the wild #linguistProblems

Malta only has one. I'm not sure Monaco makes any beers. The sacramental wine at the Vatican probably isn't special?

Every country makes ~3 beers that all taste the same, and taste the same as the 3 beers in all the other countries; prove me wrong

Who the fuck thinks there aren't any conservative academics at Harvard!?!

It's nice(?) to know that if I'm allowed to continue teaching the youth about language, I will never run out of real life examples to point to

A list of the different pronouns in Spanish (ellos/ellas/ustedes is there I promise it’s just not in the screenshot) with check marks. “Vos” and “vosotros” are marked as PREMIUM

Premium pronouns? I see how it is

internalizing american notions of race and ethnic division as timeless truths about the world is a shortcut to smoothing out your brain

My birthday is very close to July 4th; it seems each year I am less excited for both

Yasss, 'Pede!

YOUR cup? ahem

I ask myself the same thing about Venmo's "feed". Why do I need to know that Jane paid Sarah for brunch? And do Jane & Sarah realize I can see that?

Chat: I want to do a deep dive on a musical genre I have (nearly) no knowledge of; what should it be? (and why?)

I think that if you were not familiar with the supposed political values of the Democratic Party, its performance over the last five months would lead you to conclude that they are primarily a pro-genocide party with center right economics and a fierce commitment to loyalty and gate keeping.

Donald Trump is an extremely stupid man with very few real policy preferences who has simply done what mainstream conservatives have wanted 80-90% of the time since he has entered politics. They have wanted to bomb Iran. He bombed Iran. Pretty straightforward.

People always think I'm being ungenerous or misstating their views, but this is very explicitly what the "gender-critical" crowd says: Their *best case* against gender affirming care for kids is that the research says it works, but the research doesn't count.

(this is from the Cass report)

Politics is theater!

I get mad when electeds DON'T want to do the vital theatrical services they signed up to do!

If you get mad at politicians doing theater and stunts you do not understand the mechanics of politics

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

The genealogy of the anti-tax, "Constitutionalist," Posse Comitatus comprised of white Christian Patriots who think it is their duty to rid the nation of Communist traitors stretches back to the fascist movements of the 1930s.
