Of all the birds who've had to sit through Epsom salt foot soaks for bumblefoot infections, Xander is just the best. He doesn't try to jump out. He doesn't poop in the bath - having to end it early. 😂 And we play peek-a-boo while he soaks.

So in the UK, they'll arrest you for supporting Palestine, and now we find they'll also arrest you for supporting those who support Palestine.
If you hold a Free Greta sign, will they arrest you for supporting someone who supports those who support Palestine?
British Matryoshka doll-ass fascism.

Greta Thunberg has been arrested on terrorism charges for speaking out in support of the Palestine Action hunger strikers.

It’s actually not technically a leak. CBS News only operates in the US. A non-PSKY owned network Global TV has Canadian rights for 60 Minutes and aired it unedited since the call to pull the episode was made so late in the day. That broadcast was recorded and then shared across the internet.

Self-examination nothing: y'all need to confront the fact that you owe your academic career to the unique expertise of librarians and archivists.
Who do you think organized those LIBRARIES of texts that you're drawing upon?

If you're an academic who is protective or defensive about your own area of expertise (understandable, in this day and age), but are offended when it's suggested that professional archivists & librarians have unique expertise outside your own experience, that's worth some self-examination

So when I say there is *zero* utility for LLMs, I don't mean there are zero use cases. I mean there are zero use cases that even begin to make up for the damage that's being done.

Also, this information isn't in any training module... cuz I haven't published it yet! And there's no other way to learn this except in the archives where I read the panicked letters between Lougee and the IT department! There is *so much* history AI does not know! 🗃️
In the late 1970s, Carolyn Lougee of Stanford was doing early digital history work, creating a database of her research.
In 1980, Stanford's IT dept *erased* her database. #Oops. And they couldn't restore it.
(how do I know this? from a paper archive at Stanford. don't just worship the digital!) 🗃️

Also, the impermanence of the digital really bothers me. Sure, paper burns and libraries and archives are susceptible to fire, water, and neglect. BUT so much of the early Internet is gone and we're supposed to just ignore that.
We must continue to use analog communication alongside digital.

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

It’s appropriate that we should hear directly from a marginalised community when discussing an issue (such as racism) directly affecting them. In doing so, it’s important to remember that we also need to listen to, and understand, differences within communities. No community is homogenous.
