I see you quote-share AI slop to criticize it... Then I think about how stupid you must be to quote-share anything you so vehemently disagree with. It's 2025, FFS. Regardless of the vacuous, allegedly critical comment you've added, you're *still sharing* it. Haven't you learned anything? JFC.

Translators work hard to make sure that the translated words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, etc, not only convey the author's meaning, but also the author's *style.* Translators are alchemists. They are artists, and poets, and researchers, and editors. They are magicians and wizards.

Tá pouco grau. Manda mais grau

As we enter into what will likely be another "annus odusseia" here are some resources on Homer and the Odyssey for audiences of different levels and interest [they are open-access or reasonably priced]

Enquanto eu não estiver me sentindo como a própria Joana D'arc numa Airfryer, vou continuar achando que o calor tá é pouco

This Oliver Sacks debacle (among other similar cases) *should* teach us to become ever more aware of the illusion of information adequacy but, alas, it won't (such is life — and such are biases). But don't tell me I didn't warn you re: a certain best-selling historian obsessed with brief histories

Clear evidence that employers rate workers with foreign-sounding accents as having lower verbal and math skills. This gap persists even when employers are provided with explicit performance signals.

Very interesting. In a recent-ish visit to Crete, I did indeed find everything (esp. Knossos) to be quite garish but, as it goes, I'm the problem, it's me, etc.

I can already tell you the best (and possibly single good) thing about Nolan's Odyssey is that it's not in fact called "TES THDPSSSSPS". Don't ask me for more

A pessoa letrada lendo em voz alta a palavra "chancela" como "CHÃNcela" 🫠

Quem tá vendo os dois exposed do ano como equivalentes e/ou comparáveis não entende nada do que aconteceu com a humanidade desde o início do século XX. Não vou sequer tentar explicar, porque não sou obrigada. O cabo do Google chega na casa de todo mundo. Dá seus pulo aê

a italia não satisfeita em criar o fascismo criou a empresa enel

Algum livro brasileiro com vibe ~indigenista melhor que Iracema ou O Guarani, e que tenha sido traduzido pro inglês? (Não precisa ser nada oficialmente classificado como literatura indigenista, se é que ainda se usa essa categoria)

É esse o retrato desse Congresso que se comporta como inimigo do povo: Carla Zambelli, presa em outro país HÁ MESES e condenada no Brasil em todas as instâncias a 10 anos de prisão, seguirá tendo um mandato fictício. Glauber Braga, por não se calar, foi suspenso por 6 meses.

🚨 A Câmara acaba de ARQUIVAR o processo de cassação de Carla Zambelli. Zambelli é condenada a 10 anos de prisão, não comparece à Câmara desde maio e está na Itália desde 5 de junho, onde é foragida e PRESIDIÁRIA. Mas ela segue com um "mandato" que custa 132 MIL REAIS AO MÊS de DINHEIRO PÚBLICO. +👇🏽

Eu tô adorando ver esse monte de mulher de 55 a 70 anos falando nas redes sobre estarem passando pela perimenopausa. 🤨 É tipo o pessoal que fala dos millennials pra se referir às pessoas que têm 20 anos hoje em dia. Só que ao contrário, enfim

There is a new book on Sulpicia, "one of the very few female poets of ancient Rome, to the foreground of public awareness by acknowledging her as the author of part of Corpus Tibullianum 3." NB: women in antiquity did write—and there is more than just Sappho, y'all! academic.oup.com/book/61623?l...

Within ten years, 65% of the beneficiaries of Bolsa Familia left the welfare program. The predictions that conservatives made about the effects of Bolsa Familia (eg permanent dependency) were never realized. agenciabrasil.ebc.com.br/node/1671089

So, so many. But this one above all: E se o dia insistir em raiar só nos resta uma coisa a fazer que é irmos embora, em direções opostas. (Paulo Henriques Britto mestríssimo demais. Esse poema — Noturno — é um diamante.)

Today marks 36 years since 14 young women were killed at Polytechnique Montréal *because they were women*. Every year, December 6 reminds us of the profound loss suffered by their families, friends, and communities. That day changed Montreal; it changed Canada. But not enough, not yet.

“Every year, when I see 14 beams of light projected into the sky above Mount Royal, I have to catch my breath. “36 years ago, 14 young women were murdered in one of the most violent examples of misogynistic terrorism Canada has ever known.” An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social. #December6

Outro dia uma dessas "professoras de idiomas" do Instagram tava explicando que a palavra "cínico" é etimologicamente relacionada a "sinistro". Difícil viver na internet no ano da graça do senhor 2025

I’m sorry but we have to make coughing in public illegal

Should've probably learnt Latin "better and more effectively" before coming up with this:

É curioso que o BC tenha uns conjuntos de regras que apenas um banco consiga cumprir e que o banco em questão pertença justamente, entre outros, a um ex-ministro (de notável incompetência, aliás)

Minha idade musical é: não use Spotify. Spotify é uma merda. Com artista, com público, com a arte, com a privacidade, financia facho, start-up militar, etc. A qualidade das músicas é podre. Spotify é coisa de quem não ama música.

A genética do Bo|sonaro é tipo a do Ronaldo Fenômeno na hora de fazer impressão 3D da prole, né?

I remember this guy (ofc) trying to explain Telegram to me as if I was the village idiot or something. Too bad. He got schooled on how Telegram had already helped (almost?) topple democracy in my home country. I wonder (#not) how that guy's doing these days and how his Telegram use is going.

Y'all remember the halcyon days before The Philosophical Underclass was taken over by a bunch of self-righteous assh*les (who kept telling us to just use libgen/scihub or some telegram bot or whatever), back when it was actually a great collaborative space, etc.? We really can't have nice things.

As a procedures girlie, I find it satisfying to see this case fall apart because they didn't properly Miranda him

Dans le contexte actuel de l'extinction du PEQ et de tout ce qui se passe au QC à cause de la CAQ, cet article qui souligne les enjeux *de l'IRCC* me paraît pas mal fourbe et sournois. Read the room, @ledevoir.com

Just waiting for your newest hero/star to be milkshake-ducked (I'm betting on a religious/cult-y themed issue to surface) IYKYK

My favourite sign from yesterday’s protest against the CAQ. A gov’t unable to see Muslim women who choose to wear the hijab as complex individuals possessing their own autonomy. Always treated as docile victims or demonized vectors of religious extremism. Never just ppl making their own decisions.

Eu adoro essas listas de influencer de como entraram em forma: - parar o cardio pra não perder massa magra (lolwut) - 85h de musculação na semana - 32kg de whey/semana - 4 scoops de creatina/dia - uma caralhada de suplementos palavras doida ₋ ₐ𝓰ₒₙᵢₛₜₐ 𝒹ₑ Gₗₚ₋₁

incredible quote lol

Ce serait *tellement* beau si la fin du PEQ s'avère le coup de grâce porté à la CAQ, à R0berge et cie.!

Cadê vocês comentando a treta do plágio do blog de viagens?

There was a bug in the OpenReview API during the last two weeks that allowed people to access the names of *all* reviewers, authors and ACs for *all* conferences *ever*. Probably the largest 💩 show in academic peer review I’ve witnessed.

Dia de #recebidos na vida da medievete™ 😊

Y'all should just learn about endonyms and exonyms and shut up about this non-issue of the day already... 🙄

Check out this new open access journal! journal.lib.uoguelph.ca/index.php/nn... It has taken a long time to bring into being, but it has some excellent articles, some original new translations, along with interesting discussions of those translations. #philsky
