I'm not sure if everyone realizes this but even though we're ostensibly in the period of no time of the holidays where time becomes meaningless.... We actually still have to use our signals or indicators in our vehicles when we're driving. Controversial take I know.

Academics: what's the best bit of knowledge you created this year?
I co-authored a new model of the Irish Neolithic, effectively rewriting social structure and the role of large funerary monuments for the creation of community identities

What historians (and other scholars do) is create knowledge. We should use that phrase more and talk about what it means. I think we don't, and it's part of why AI enthusiasts are confused when we don't readily agree that our work can be replicated/replaced by their products.

Would it be terribly annoying if I posted about things that have made my academic work more... efficient?
I love past me for developing the habit of simultaneously drafting presentation slides when I write papers and/or grant proposals. It makes things sooooo much easier when people ask me to give a talk.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

I was kind of bummed out about a work thing. which happens, I usually get distracted and move on in a couple of days. Our daughter brought home a personal essay she wrote for school and it really snapped me out of any funk. so wild to watch your children grow and mature.

Why: We're so back, but unfortunately with these mid chips. They're "cheesy" but missing the Camembert funk. Good crunch, oily.

One of the best tips I’ve ever gotten was tie your scissors to your tape while wrapping presents. I was always losing one. Gotta make the tie long. I’m adding the pen next.

A friend recently sent me one of the best gifts I’ve ever received: a cheese sampler. This is a creamy cow cheese, similar to Brie, with red pepper, toasted on everything sourdough, topped with my homemade candied cranberries and served on a Wisconsin cutting board.
