Before AI, we linguists used large scale corpora to study relationships between words and all sorts of other things. Some of them are at risk of going down because of reduced interest, including the most used (COCA), so I bought it. I also added five of old and middle English.

“I look ridiculous.”
“I think you look adorable.”
“I won’t be made a fool, Steve.”
“Just one more picture.”
“Fine, but after this...”
“I know, I know. Nevermore.”

I'm sorry, WHAT?! A new piece of the Bayeux Embroidery has been found?! OMG!

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual.

David Lynch? Even before he was born, his way of seeing was part of America, and his sense of our world as wild at heart and weird on top is exactly right — so how can he have died?

YES
Another example from a librarian I heard this morning: the patron who came in with a list of ILL requests, half of which were unfulfillable because the LLM they queried MADE THE BOOKS UP 📚

I also really want to point out: if you see this and are wondering, that Highlights? Yes! That Highlights!

A Mexican magician told his audience he'd disappear on the count of three.

He began counting: “Uno… Dos…”

He disappeared without a trace.😀

Title-page of Cornelis Schoon, Terentius Christianus, 3 Vols. (Cologne: Gerhard Grevenbroich, 1618–1620).

Been doing some research into Cornelis Schoon’s Neo-Latin school plays of Bible stories. They widely circulated under the title “Terentius Christianus”—The Christian Terence—from the end of the 16th cent through at least the end of the 17th.

Despite S’s Catholicism, English teachers were big fans.

“new year new me” i say after waking up as a giant cockroach

Telegram sent by author Dorothy Parker to Robert Benchley on December 31st 1929. Text reads. You come right over here and explain why they are having another year.

Happy New Year from Dorothy Parker (and me).

A smiling Mychal, in colorful clothing, gives two peace signs with his hands. Text reads: “Ways I "failed" this year: •150+ panic attacks •Depression & anxiety were obsessed with me •Went to hospital thinking I wouldn't make it to tomorrow •Didn't meet book reading goals •Didn't make it back to working in a library BUT I'm still here, you're still here! Failure prepares us for jubilant joy "Failure is a reality; we all fail at times, and it's painful when we do. But it's better to fail while striving for something wonderful, challenging, adventurous, and uncertain" - Jimmy Carter '”

What a year! ✨ Reframe loading with the next one 🥳 Definitions of success & failure are different for everyone. Honestly approaching failure is how we recognize the reality of wonderful, challenging, adventurous, and uncertain triumph in our future 💚
