😱

Not that it's much of a compensation, but there are different words for he/she/it that roughly mean 'this near me', 'this near you' and 'that yonder'. 2/2

It's a bit awkward: while the words for 'he' and 'she' are distinct, they have the same genitive, so it doesn't manage a his/her distinction. And 'his/her own' is suus (or sua or suum), but the ending depending of the gender of the thing, not the person. 1/2

I'm safe on two counts, though.

Latin too:

canem suum vidit (she saw her own dog) and canem eius vidit (she saw <some other person>'s dog).

Demonic eye opening an closing (at least, that was the idea).

And yet you still hear people say things like:

"The ancients were inured to the death of their infants. Making a fuss about it is a modern notion."

Maybe they're going more with the 'murdered his brother' vibe.

Especially for @divbyzero.bsky.social - a beating cardioid.

He's getting hammered there.

Must be corruption in the manuscript tradition, surely he'd have said 'pancakes'.

I think there's a job for them in designing political campaign posters, though.

William Blake’s illustration for “The Tyger” has what appears to be a dippy grin for some reason.

The wonderful thing about Tyggers
Is Tyggers are burning bright
Their tops are made out of rubber
In the forest of the night

What bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy,
Immortal hand or eye
Did frame the most wonderful thing about Tyggers,
Their fearful symmetry!

Just going to add a new one from time to time.

Hardly surprising, since we all know (thanks to Douglas Adams) that a hot cup of tea is an excellent source of randomness.

Probably now best known to Tolkien readers from Bilbo's 'Attercop! Attercop!' taunt to the spiders in Mirkwood.

Kind of a rabbit hole...

Probably on his way to St Ives.

And another - then it's time for some self-control.

Started playing with p5.js today. I have a feeling I may go down some rabbit holes if I'm not careful

Seems ill-thought out. For intellectual clarity, they should have gone with three departments: Indo-European, Afro-Asiatic and 'people who speak languages we don't care much about'.

He's right, though - Hengist and Horsa have a lot to answer for. Probably including him.

A bit grim that the non-pseudo history is the odd one out :-(

I suppose they're catering to a (perceived) market for whom writing a book is one stage in receiving royalties, just as there's another for whom submitting an essay is one stage in receiving a degree. It's not about the book or the essay, it's about the consequent profit.

Now that everybody knows that everybody is terrible, the only solution is to stand yourself. If you don't do any leafleting, you should (logically) get all the votes. (On the down side, you might get elected...)

I don't care whether the ai generated stuff or the human generated stuff is in the ghetto, as long they're separated.

Every time they only word i can think of is a bit obscure, it's wrong and then i realize the common word that i should have tried. 🤷‍♂️
