Question for anyone into #Culloden ( @jennscott1485.bsky.social or otherwise): If I'm a visiting historian in Edinburg, what's a good recommendation on how to visit Culloden? Tour group? Bus? I want to visit the visitor center and not just rush.

Q. Why does Marie Antoinette look a bit grim-faced?
A. Because it's Bastille Day. Holiday in France today to commemorate the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789 in the French Revolution.

In a moviescape poisoned by rampant cynicism, the new Superman is a breath of fresh air. The hopeful legacy of the Reeves' version is back!

Quand je dis que l'i.a. nous abrutis, c'est pas des farces.
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

so basically all copyrights and patents in the US are void because whatever comes out of that AI will be infringing on anything and everything that has ever been sent
Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis.
It's surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.

I thought the goal of all my years spent mastering paleography was to teach students how to read old writing, not to help me read theirs... #gradingtime

I am severely disappointed.
I was having lunch with a paleontologist friend.
She goes on and on about mosasaurs and plesiosaurs.
I leaned in, eyes narrowed, and asked: "BUT have you found a magical liopleurodon?"
"No." she replied most seriously.
Feels like I wasted a kidney.

Because of Trump’s firings and gutting of federal agencies, the Congressionally-appointed U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission now lacks representation from NEA, NEH, IMLS, National Archives, and the LOC. Along with all the new cabinet agencies on the Commission. It’s about controlling 250.

Whenever I travel in the U.S., I take unhealthy pleasure in convincing as many Americans as possible that because we use the metric system, Canada has 25 hours in a day; each Canadian hour has 50 minutes, thus accounting for the extra hour.
Never. Been. Called. Out.
It's goddamn hilarious.
