“(I)n 1929, Helene Stock described the production and distribution of the magazines as a political and even humanitarian act: “I call on all women: commit yourself to a serious deed. Don’t just pursue your own pleasure while thousands of our sisters suffer in muffled despair. Help with enlightenment.””

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers:

“It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

I think this is all true, but I also think about the number of people who have assumed my PhD (in history) took a long time because it takes that long to memorize all those facts. They eschew skill building, of course, but also confuse knowledge accumulation/regurgitation with knowledge production.

Dr. Johnathan Flowers, Blade Wielding Bisexual (Lordean arc) @shengokai.blacksky.app · Aug 9

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.

Haide bre! According to several dictionaries, the pan-Balkan salutation 'bre' comes from Balkan Turkish 'bre' < Greek μπρέ < contraction of Byzantine Greek μωρέ, vocative of μωρός ‚stupid’. If this is true, then ‚bre’ has the same etymology as English ‚moron’.

Doing an old NYT crossword reprinted in the Sunday press with @perchperchson.bsky.social
and that’s how I learned that “Marisa Tomei” is an anagram for “It’s a me, Mario.” This feels impossible, correct, and like an Italian American hate crime all at once.

When you register your name in the Icelandic phonebook you can choose to state your profession. And they have a pretty loose definition of what exactly a profession entails.

This person for example has opted for „þjóðhetja“. It means „National Hero“.
