Are You Experiencing Posting Ennui?
Sharing casual moments from our lives on social media doesn’t seem to make sense the way it used to.
I miss casually posted content. Everything polished and glossy all the time is just so tiresome. But maybe this take just tells you my status as an aging millennial?
Interesting reading/listening piece from @newyorker.com

When you end up typing "pubic awareness" instead of "public awareness". 😅

I have taken the next four days off to finish rewriting my thesis into a proper book manuscript. Wish me luck! I still have 9 more pages to rewrite and 16 to cut/condense.

Google develops AI tool that fills missing words in Roman inscriptions
Program Aeneas, which predicts where and when Latin texts were made, called ‘transformative’ by historians
“Aeneas helps historians interpret, attribute and restore fragmentary Latin texts,” said Dr Thea Sommerschield, a historian at the University of Nottingham. “That’s the grand challenge that we set out to tackle.”

A hand holding a thick paperback book, which has a blue cover with the word "HARM" written in black letters crossed out with a red line repeated as a motif. The title is DO LESS HARM: ETHICAL QUESTIONS FOR HEALTH HISTORIANS edited by Courtney Thompson and Kylie Smith.
Came home to the best gift ever - a copy of my new book, edited with @drkyliesmith.bsky.social. This book is the culmination of years of fantastic conversations with some brilliant scholars, and I'm so thrilled to finally hold it in my hands. I might be prouder of this than my actual monograph. 1/

Dieses Wochenende feiert die #Telekom ihr dreißigjähriges Bestehen. Die Stadt ist entsprechend jetzt schon Magenta. Und ja, Bonn ist immer noch Sitz der Hauptzentrale, ebenso wie von DHL. Alles Dank des Endes des Postmonopols und des Wegzugs der Bundesregierung.

Today, or tomorrow, or this upcoming week: Find someone that needs help that you can help with and help them. Make a point of it. Ask around. We need each other. Let's get in the habit of helping each other, in defiance of the society that seeks to kill us; Being alive is the -most- punk rock thing.

Fun fact: When I speak English, I now have a Maryland accent, which every native speaker pinpoints correctly, except for people from Maryland, who pick up on the Canadian and Scottish undertones that surface sometimes if I don't concentrate. Well, at least nobody thinks I'm German...

So true! I love it when random people start quizzing me about historic dates. That's secondary school level, not university level history (except maybe the first two or three semesters).

re:publica 25: Roland Meyer - Generative KI und die Ästhetik des digitalen Faschismus
Sehr gute Einführung, warum Rechtsextremismus so gern generative AI zur Bildproduktion einsetzt. Das ist kein Zufall, sagt @bildoperationen.bsky.social sondern ästhetische Affinität. Es geht um die Sehnsucht, etwas abzubilden, das nicht real ist, sondern gefühlt wahr. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZpi...

🚨 Can VR training help police officers prepare for interaction with victims of domestic abuse and gendered violence? How would such an interview simulator look like, and what should it train? What should avatars in such a scenario look like to make them believable and the training a success? 🙍♀️ 🧕
