#warningsign we can all get behind

New content for a legendary #warningsign (that still needs stick figures)

this is the correct way to react to anything the president says-

while unequipped to evaluate the paper referenced here, I give its title 💯 "Adversarial Poetry as a Universal Single-Turn Jailbreak Mechanism in Large Language Models" i demand a Norton Anthology of Adversarial Poetry

I’m scheduled to lecture on WHAT tomorrow!!?!

It's about that time of year again....

point 1: didn't know these turns had a name point 2: hell yes point 3: can't believe there were actually only 13 J-turns in the whole series point 4: half these episode titles sound like Silver Jews' songs

(almost) a stick figure #warningsign about a stick figure

monday me is tired of comparing manuscripts to the Mona Lisa to make them sound important today it's the Borso d'Este Bible, called quite ridiculously the "Mona Lisa of Illuminated Manuscripts" news.artnet.com/art-world/bo...

Always great to see my friend and fellow historian Scott Hancock reminding Gettysburg residents during its annual Remembrance Day Parade that Confederates "fought for slavery." 🗃️

Haven’t seen this one posted today, one of the best-ever baseball songs youtu.be/KG2SPjcKM4M

Rhett Miller just posted a song he wrote with Ben Greenman about Todd Snider. You can listen here (it’s not paywalled): rhettmiller.substack.com/p/song-for-t...

Pretty sure I’d ignore this #warningsign. Now, add a stick figure or two and it’d be effective

Song in my head this Friday night "thank your lucky stars you've got protection Walk the line and never mind the cost And don't wonder who them lawmen was protectin' When they nailed the Savior to the cross 'Cause the law is for protection of the people" www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqcJ...

As of now my last buzzard sighting of 2025 is Nov 8, more or less in keeping with the last few years. Still kind of expecting (hoping) to see a few stragglers this week.

With Friday’s snow, first of the season, the watch for the last buzzard begins. Some some Saturday, but none since. Can’t all be gone already!

Mr. Accordion

lot of bad things in the world, so it's a great consolation to be able to use @cecilefromont.bsky.social's scholarship on the Kingdom of Kongo in my Christian art class on Monday, and @periodeye.bsky.social on Diego de Valadés as an etcher today

so awesome to get a great #warningsign from someone I've never met--- --especially when it forbids debonair canines in Paris-- Better still when the alt-text refers to the red line as a 'no-no bar'--I'm dead!

well someone really wanted this book! high estimate was 150,000 euros, it went for 825,500! (was it one of you? if so, can I have a look? promise I'll wash my hands first)
