After fasting for a scan I have concluded…I don’t write well when I am hungry.

My theory is the main issue with the world is rote learning. Rote leads to memorizing not thinking. This leads to binary thinking which causes people to see everything in a good bad correct wrong prism. It’s exhausting

I would like a word with the management

You ever read a journal rejection and think. Well if you gave me a longer word limit I would have been able to explain that.

A detail of 'Christ With a Child' In St Tysilio's Church, Bryneglwys, #Denbighshire. The glass was given in about 1896 to the memory of John Yale, by his parents. John died aged 31, but choosing to use a portrait of him as a child is really affecting, I think. #StainedGlassSunday

This is some gunboat diplomacy stuff

Was Maduro under indictment in the US ?

The children will be cultured

Pseudo archeology increasingly drives me into a frothing rage. Because it diminishes degrades and denigrates the wondrous achievements these people accomplished.

Oh @seva.bsky.social you hit the nail on the head

Happy new year yall

Pseudoscience, pseudo history, pseudo archaeology puzzle me. Are not the actual disciplines wondrous enough? For I have walked Agamemnons halls and communed with the spirits long gone. Such glorious desolation.

@flintdibble.bsky.social Dear Sir, I have recently had the good fortune to come across your channel and greatly enjoyed your archeology videos as well as your firm pushback against pseudo science garbage. Keep up the good fight and if you are ever in London first pints on me.

Oh what fresh hell is this?

Well 2000 words on academic paper written not bad start

How Putin will threaten the UK in 2026 My take for @theipaper.com. Not the more fashionable, exciting and, for me, implausible suggestions of a direct military threat, but the more indirect challenges, regardless of whatever happens over Ukraine inews.co.uk/news/world/h...

He’ll hath no fury like jet lagged 3 year old

Poppy War is intriguing but it’s too much hero’s journey. Give me a 20 page discussion on logistics and tactics PLEASE. Quilfer remains the superior military/political fantasy I feel

It is EXHAUSTING not only being made responsible for coming up with new kinds of assignments for our students; it's also tedious reading op-eds that suggest the core problem is a crisis in teaching. But, as Chris and I lay out here, this isn't a crisis in teaching; it's an attack on learning.

As is tradition. The Festivus pole

Jesus, Greenland again? Did he get bored with Venezuela already?

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

yeah I think influencer culture *inherently* is just poisonous, even more so than the regular cult of celebrity was because it's so purely self-centered and pervasive.

As a dyslexic voice type is an absolute godsend. The problem is my post, often have misspellings and errors because of phonetic pronunciation.

“Boris Nikolaevich, you betrayed not only us who believed in you, who believed in democracy, who longed for change. Unfortunately, you have [given up on] democracy.”- Maria Sorokina People’s Deputy 1993

What is interesting for me as the American administration’s view of Russia is deeply distorted, but seems to be based on the distorted view the Russian regime has of Russia itself.

My wife wants to know why I keep humming joy to the world

SMASH THE MACHINES!!!

GenAI slop is *infecting* the system, reproducing and multiplying itself.

British phrasing once more for the win

It sparks joy

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

The mountains call

@natebowling.com Happy holiday season mate safe travels and much success in the coming year

Brought a smartphone to a gunfight

Jet lag has it’s advantages

My capacity to be outraged remains. This is just beyond the pale.

Oh Zoom has a AI thing. I hate it how do i turn it off.

I doubted they would escalate in 2022 until the week before it happened. Because I knew it would be a long violent war. Russia was not capable of winning not the least because the Ukrainians would resist with their teeth if they had to. Lesson learned out of touch autocrats can be delusional

This thread is worth a read. Anti immigration policies only make life more miserable for EVERYONE

Three generations. None of them particularly kind or generous people. VII I once heard described as the hard man who walk the dogs on a chain around the estate. VIII well what’s a few headless exs. And Bess must have been pure cast iron to do so well as a woman in a man’s profession.
