I remember helping run a hp quiz at the bookshop I worked at yrs ago. Group of grown adults arrived late, demanding to be allowed to compete against the room of 9-year olds. They won by 1 point and were the worst winners, checking their quiz sheet bc they thought there should be a wider margin. 💀

Incredible work!! I am intrigued by the ability to toggle between a modern transcription and the semi-diplomatic version on the project website. This is something still being debated in Lister studies circles with regards to readability and access, and the option to simultaneously view both is fab.

So grave! This might be one of my favourite comparisons, seeing their different perspectives so clearly and their later resolution. This also isn't the first time I have seen AL describe how frightened AW is by a situation and AW not mention it at all 😆 Is one exaggerating or the other hiding..?
Dearest is grave and silent. Too grave for Adney. They discussed and were better friends than ever. All made up. As per usual...they worked it out.

ACADEMIC READING ALREADY COMES WITH A SUMMARY IT IS CALLED THE ABSTRACT
The Appendix on an AI policy is actually quite bad. Having an AI deliver a summary before reading has major implications in terms of the experience of student learning. What we want students to do and how they do it is the question. The experience of reading is not the same as reading a summary.

It's so funny Trump says Zohran Mamdani looks TERRIBLE because when I saw Mamdani at my bodega, before I realized who he was, I was like "What a handsome man in an impeccably tailored suit!" And I'm one of those lesbians who usually proceses men like the faceless WAH WAH adults in a Peanuts cartoon.

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.
