Beautiful!

NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated.

I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble.

But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash.

Waiting for the feds?

I love fun facts about syphilis. Lining this one up to tell in class next term.

Screenshot containing the text "This was not the only test of the relic's legitimacy: as anthropologist Eric Silverman writes, "A common test for foreskinned authenticity [in medieval times] was taste. A physician, supervised by a priest, sampled the skin for the flavor of genuine holiness. The taster was called a croque-prépuce, or 'foreskin cruncher.'""

In class today, a student asked me how many Holy Prepuces (the supposed circumcised foreskin of the infant Jesus, venerated as a relic) were floating around in medieval Europe. I didn't know the exact number, looked it up, and stumbled across this fun fact.

Surely one of history's weirder jobs?

Congratulations!

I do not believe I have ever had a croque-monsieur, making my next one doubly memorable

This is a fabulous story.

I literally read this with my mouth wide open, gaping at the very idea.

It's okay, I'm confident they haven't learned to write women well, or address textual relationships 😀

Apple is shoving AI into *other companies' apps* now. Give me a break.

That is also an amazing tattoo!

The Digital Public Library of America provides access to 100s of cultural institutions with holdings. There's also a primary source set I did for 1900-1940.

There's no way Trump and the Republicans are rolling over on the Epstein files unless they know there's damage control going on somewhere. Someone's shredding or redacting wildly.

Yes on the former, I'm not so sure about the latter.

Absolutely!

That's a great idea!

So glad it's useful!

Oh, thank you! I will add that in the morning!

Yes, you're right, we create relationships all the time! It's awful how a series of very wealthy people are manipulating that through this.

The very idea that Larry Summers is disgraced enough to step back from "public life" but not from teaching is sending me through the roof today. Get that predator OUT.

This is going to be a banger! Hurrying off to order . . .

Oh my god! I had no idea - running out to order it right now. Congratulations!!

Beautiful!

Awesome!

You are so welcome!

Having drowned under a tide of what aboutism, I've removed my previous post about the Booker Prize from my timeline. People are feeling mighty humorless today.

Read the whole thread challenge!

1991 is a good vintage
