Good to see Hell following responsible urban planning practices and taking the necessary steps to accommodate inevitable population growth. Yes in my Circle!

Yeah buddy

It's wonderful discussion of generative "AI" and LLMs, but it's also a much-needed celebration of what it is to be human and use language as we learn to understand and explore our world.

This is digital humanities

Fuck yeah let's gooooooo

(Minstrels and Minstrelsy in Late Medieval England by Richard Rastall with Andrew Taylor) #MedievalSky

a small black and brown dachshund puppy with brown dots for eyebrows lays on her back on a cream blanket with a swirly grey design. we are very close to her. her front paws are tucked into her chest, and her mouth is open slightly in surprise. her tiny pink tongue pokes out just a teensy bit held back by only her itty bitty teeth.

This is Maple. She wants to know why you needed to take a photo at this very second. You caught her and her teef by surprise. 12/10

I have taken
the resources
that were in
the budget

and which
you were probably
saving
for higher education

Forgive me
they were needed
to feed the AI bubble
and to dismantle the humanities

Artemisia Gentileschi cornering the market on paintings of women killing men in gruesome but inventive ways. Love that for her!

damn gurl are you medusa because i get hard when you look at me

brown gravy at night, potato's delight
white gravy in the morning, fresh biscuits take warning

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

ok. because we all could use a little joy here are some silly medieval hedgehogs for hedgehog day:

*hugs*

Off to the word mines for the day but everyone needs cheering up on a Sunday like this. I've told this one before but anyway, gather around, children, for this is the story of how my paternal grandmother, the quietest woman to ever live, beat up the most famous magician in Asia during his act

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

I'm not saying this is a coup. But if you *were* going to do a coup, how would things look different from recent events -- seizing the federal payments system, federal purging law enforcement, threatening to sic armed US Marshals on civil servants guarding classified data

If it ain't illegal, it ain't civil disobedience.

Renaissance hottie alert.

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

incredibly cat content (watch the whole thing)

I have this book!!!! I think I got it for a quarter, 15+ years ago

running the federal govt the same way I figure out which breaker powers the garage

Most scholars I know--affiliated or not--just want access to resources behind paywalls--subscription journals, databases, books. No one I know is going "gee I wish I had AI tools to mine those resources for pithy, questionable syntheses." They can't even GET TO the resources. THAT is what they want.

In the 1700s, people would rent a pineapple for their party. Not to eat. Just as a status symbol for everyone to look at because it was so expensive and special.

Well, I've got an 18-pack of eggs from Costco and some bulk Kirkland French roast if anyone is looking to impress...

crabcakes @crabcakes.bsky.social Follow The Ahhh person refuses to take accountability for not stopping Trump getting in office. I blame both the Dems

If all you are doing is immersing yourself in the horrors of the world and you are so far down the moral injury burnout well that you are screaming at others for not joining you in it, you need to read this old thread.
