Just wanted to give a little plug to my new book, “Richard Hooker and the Christian Virtues” (Brill, 2024) #Brill
Yep, I’ve seen it make up books I haven’t written.
Yes, let’s bring back beautiful academic writing!
Very grateful to Professor Rudy Almasy for his review of our book, 'Richard Hooker and the Christian Virtues', in Anglican and Episcopal History 94.1 (March 2025). @degruyterbrill.bsky.social

Let me say it again: LLMs imitate human speech, they don’t provide reliable information (except accidentally as they imitate speech).

I finally watched Conclave. I like that Ralph Fiennes has the same energy as Kermit the Frog trying to keep The Muppet Show from going off the rails.
As an experiment, I asked ChatGPT to write an essay on clemency in Hooker’s work and it cited a made-up
source attributed to me.
Not a criticism at all!
In fairness, back in the “old days” photocopying articles was a significant financial burden on starving students (not to mention the expenditure of time liming up for photocopiers at the library).

a very good feeling is getting a book from the library that you were considering purchasing and then finishing it and thinking "that sucked ass, i'm so glad i get to give this shit back"
@dgb-mem.bsky.social Thank you for promoting our book!

Listening to radio ads right now is like "Canadians are strong. Canadians are tough. Canadians never back down. Canadians deserve the best. That's why at Bob's Lube Garage, we know your tire lube should smell like poutine and Lake Erie fish,"
And now, a few minutes of bonus material from Melvin and his guests: ‘What would you like to say that you didn’t have the opportunity to say while you were alive?’
