There are so many great journalists at the Times. And so much great journalism is produced there. But on national politics, trans issues, Israel-Palestine ...there is such flawed coverage. And Sulzberger's public comments suggest this is how he wants it. presswatchers.org/2024/03/why-...

I can’t believe how few conversations about the uses of LLMs seem to incorporate this fact. It is not a knowledge or understanding machine! It is a thing-saying machine!

Press is doing a great job of basically doxxing potential jurors

This is very cool stuff! edition.cnn.com/2024/04/18/w...

A sad day. We often discount the importance of children’s books and their authors, but the imprint they leave on our lives is far greater than we often realize. Authors like de Brunhoff are as worthy of respect as those of so-called “real” literature for adults. edition.cnn.com/2024/03/25/s...

RETRACTED: Remember that eye-twitching, head-scratching paper published in a peer-reviewed journal, suggestively #carbondating the supposed #GunungPadang #pyramid between 25,000 & 14,000 BCE?

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones. But no.

A Roman 'fridge', unearthed in 2022 in the legionary fort of Novae, Bulgaria. It's a kind of container made of tiles that was embedded under the floor. It was used by the soldiers to store food. In the container fragments of pottery and animal bones were found. 🏺   naukawpolsce.pl/aktualnosci/...

Yep, that's right: I'm about to out myself for being an Old today with a look back at the video game that probably did more than any other to make me into a nerd in the first place: Mega Man 2!

It's not often that you seen a single study emerge which totally changes our understanding of global human history, but this is surely one of those. 🏺 edition.cnn.com/2024/01/12/a...

*shivers involuntarily*

Oh no

YOU: please act normal you need these people to like you Me: ok! People: hi Me: Everybody assumes Hydrox cookies are a rip-off of Oreos but in fact Hydrox preceded Oreos to the marketplace by 4 years. Thus, Oreos is an usurper cookie.

A Mayan scribe (right) and his instructor (left) – the dots and lines between them form an early speech-bubble, and it's thought the glyphs refer to sloppy work. So here we have a 1,500yo cartoon of a writer getting a bollocking from his boss! #Writing #AncientScripts #History

This is horrifying

After killing off the download business, Spotify will now kill off niche artists. Don’t use this shithead company to listen to music, use Apple Music, Deezer or Tidal www.stereogum.com/2240332/spot...

Holy shit... this is beyond horrifying: www.cnn.com/2023/10/24/w...

To kick-start this new profile, here is a little thread I've made about the connections between archaeology and video games with, of course, an environmental question behind it. Let's dive into a thread about Jomon culture in Zelda Breath of the Wild!

Just saw a partial solar eclipse down here! Sadly, the clouds covered up the peak moment from where I was watching at the time... but it was still very cool to see. 😁

How do 1 million people evacuate anywhere in 24 hours? Especially when they have nowhere specifically to evacuate to?

It is shattering to watch hundreds of years of Jewish longing for liberation result in a situation in which we inflict upon other peoples the terrors and crimes which were inflicted upon us. There aren’t words.

"The Supreme Court is collapsing in on itself" makes a late bid for most on-the-nose metaphor of the year apnews.com/bb79d2faa7e3...

Gonna leave these words by Esther Perel here and log off for a little bit and think about literally anything else.

Once more for the people in back: STOP. SHAMING. KIDS. ABOUT. FOOD. HABITS.

me, exploring my own mind: yooo whats up with all these demons lol
