@iammilliam.bsky.social just want you to know that is one of my fav passages and I read it to death in my thesis/book

it really boils down to who do you hate more, rich sex abusers or the left, and I’m afraid that from Thatcher to Starmer we’ve been run by people for whom the answer to that question is “the left”

Imagine if Corbyn had become PM in 2017 and was still PM now. Just imagine that.

Starmer mtarmer, let's test how romantic you're feeling heading into Valentine's day. Shall I text him?

[Edward Said voice] Ever read a Jane Austen book and thought about the atrocities of the sugar cane industry?

First class of term, starting off with my 'spot the three Poles in the syllabus' game (Heart of Darkness, Solaris, Drive Your Plow)

The robot apocalypse hasn't happened yet, but still I can't escape the feeling that something has gone horribly wrong... Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl. More of my work for Trouw: www.trouw.nl/cartoons/tje... #ArtificialIntelligence #creativity #work #GenerativeAI

Istanbul not feeling it this morning

Well, good night then sweet prince

it's 20:32 and in a strange turn of events, I finished doing all I had pencilled in for today

explaining to my niece why we mustn't see Hamnet and must never encourage such poor vulgarizations

STARMER-FREE LABOUR IN OUR TIME

another day, another 'friend' insinuating her time is more precious than mine. i do not know what it is about me exactly that people see fit to treat me like this. is it because i make everything i do appear so easy?

Cooking/baking is soul restoring because it reminds us there are powers beyond control

Geometry or the Golden Ratio doing its thing with my loaves. I cut them with a perforated knife and they come out with evenly spaced holes??

thank you for your service! 🙏

love this for me jp.pinterest.com/pin/31201508...

someone sent me a tweet from Turkish twitter that finally speaks about the Epstein-Maxwell-academic journal complex and a couple of the replies conforms to the 'too big to fail' discourse saying such standards are better than no standards. It's a fallacy to claim it's either the stupid Qs or nothing

I do not like the fact that I can't fall asleep without listening to an audiobook

At that cool Berlinesque venue again and everyone looking cool and remembering the drunk woman who laughed so much and at one point become part of the show at the open air Shakespeare last summer - hope you're having a blast wherever you are

Should I continue Bugonia at x2 speed (left half hour in)

ahahaha love receiving official letters of absence from students even before term starts--- girl the pot won't be calling the kettle black I assure you

honestly if the end game of LLMs is abolishing all *academic* journals, IT WILL HAVE BEEN WORTH IT

I will never tire of posting that Maxwell is one of the main evil masterminds of the evil academic publishing system of today

Pay MPs minimum wage, put them up in dormitories when they're in London, no second jobs, if they don't do their constituency surgeries they go to fucking prison.

Apparently this idea is being boosted by Rory Stewart, a millionaire Etonian and MI6-linked cadaver

hello friends, is this an actual thing? has anyone had dealings with them? is this to feed their llm?

Andrew Windsor's crimes have led to a deep dive in history in the Turkish press and so we get to learn about his granddad Andrea who was leading the Greeks who invaded İzmir, egged on by Churchill. #TheCrown

WHO will make the next season of the royalty laundering The Crown then?

all this beauty gone for AI slop Lord have mercy on us

it was obvious that being in the files would be smth to brag about for these ghouls i dunno man, europe used to have some ideas about how to treat people who tell hungry people to eat cake

Oh no, art is only for commerce or for attention, which at this point, is also commerce. There is no personal practice of art, no intention, no urge to express. They just want to participate in what they see as the production of content, so personally I don’t think they deserve any art at all.

I am certain that whenever someone posts about “gatekeeping art” or whatever, they’re talking about posting drawings online for clicks. They never mean arranging rocks in the back yard. They never mean whistling to yourself and finding a tune that makes you happy. They never mean napkin doodles.

a Turk traveling to Germany is always a palimpsest

Gatefinders gatekeepers, gatelosers gateweepers

How Epstein was enabled through the anything goes liberal discourse is smth that will be discussed some time in the future

waiting for the Mamdani-Epstein link to get some more oxygen. Some time. This decade.

my body is refusing today

Been thinking about The Housemaid and I think the climax was inspired by that famous Nicole Kidman divorce photo

I actually also like the ending. Put it in your anti-Valentine viewing list :)

The Housemaid is really working for me!

like, my mind's always calculating 'how many films can I see at X festival if I miss a day of class' while my peers are chasing after Q rated publications for professorships

you'd be amazed to know what my priorities in life are
