Yup

And then turning your dissertation into a book is all about removing most of that context…haha.

Did you ever stop to think that UNITE and UNTIE use the same letters, or that SANTA is a rearrangement of SATAN?

The long winded explanations of what these even mean will really excite voters

Is there anything better than reading and dozing and reading and dozing?

This graphic is elegant, beautiful, and very, very scary

Two days ago my wife and were talking about how tired we are from so much traveling. This morning we bought tickets to Germany and are getting excited again (though the trip isn’t until November).

Good to see everyone on the same page

My confidence is slipping

I would love some help with the name on this document. Is it "Manuel del Baceto"? I think he was a government official in the #Philippines at the time (December 1898).

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

Oh my God, I didn't realize this is literally the exact story I told in ONE NATION UNDER GOD. The Fraternal Order of Eagles was instrumental in spreading these Ten Commandments monuments across America in the 1950s ... as part of a promotional tour with the Cecil B. DeMille epic.

Eleven Commandments. Louisiana's law mandates a specific text. Not from Exodus, or Deuteronomy, but from the Fraternal Order of Eagles. They used a KJV-sounding pastiche adapted from the Bible and paraphrased by a Minnesota juvenile court judge in the 1950s. It's not the Bible. It's the Eagles.

You may not successfully get an impeachment hearing but you can sure as shit annoy the ever loving fuck out these people

In 8 days I will cease to be a department chair, hopefully forever. I've spent 19 of my 25 years teaching being one, and it was never anything I ever wanted to do.

Absolutely rules that all three SCOTUS libs folded on the 14th Amendment because of a need for state uniformity on federal elections only to have two GOP states do the most predictable thing possible apnews.com/article/elec...

Will Biden be on the ballot in Ohio and Alabama? That's up to Republicansapnews.com Democratic President Joe Biden’s campaign is wrangling with Republican-dominated state governments in Ohio and Alabama to assure he is listed on their fall ballots.

💯

Torturing a wolf for fun is really the purest essence of the overall MAGA world view. These demons want to shit down the mouth of *everything* good and beautiful in this world, before they torture it to death.

It’s true I showed a cop a TikTok and he died

"TikTok is a programmable fentanyl" I guess if you're going to engage in fear mongering, you should really dedicate yourself to the craft

The US is right to target TikTokwww.ft.com Chinese control of a powerful ‘persuasive AI’ tool cannot be tolerated

One can only conclude Vanderbilt 's administration doesn't believe in free speech but rather mandatory listening

this is a wild story... students getting expelled for a sit-in is draconian for an administration that made a point of hosting Milo Yiannopoulos as a tribute to free speech.

CNN apparently sees no problem posting both of these headlines

I want an eclipse where the sun comes between earth and the moon

This is probably bad news for the economy for some dumb reason

Let’s see, what I should I needlessly expend emotional energy on today?

Oh, ffs.

The rise of AI-generated photos poses a serious threat to our understanding of history. As these fake images become increasingly convincing, it's getting harder to separate fact from fiction. I'd love for you to take a few minutes to read this: marinaamaral.substack.com/p/ai-is-crea...

AI is creating fake historical photos, and that's a problemmarinaamaral.substack.com The increasing sophistication of AI-generated photos raises concerns about the reliability of visual evidence

What do you think they were? (This is from an 1898 newspaper article.)
