The reason so many are surprised to find that Bardot was a POS is that the French took a novel approach. Instead of giving a racist old has-been's views the oxygen of outrage, they largely shunned her.
We could all learn something here.

Today's footage of the waterspout touching down by the beach and the person walking on the sand being completely nonchalant about it is very 2025.

you are telling me you don't think when you read? there's your whole problem, and ChatGPT can't help you.
Re books: books and literature are useful for information, but they aren't interactive and dialogic. They don't fulfil the same function that I'm referring to.

The American government failed to redact the Epstein files properly because Elon Musk cancelled their Adobe subscription. No one needs a nuclear weapon to take down the US.

28 BBLs later: society collapses thanks to a plague of undead butts
At 61 years old, I had lost volume and wanted my younger body back quickly. Donor fat seemed like the best option.

You’re literally a class traitor if you use genAI SORRY
I need to reiterate into the new year, if I clock you using genAI, even if you think you're using it for a good cause... your solidarity is nullified by its usage & Im blocking you.

I posted this👇 to a claim that genAI is better than Ctl+F to search historical docs. @tristanpalmgren.bsky.social replied with a genAI summary of my document and @bookllyfr.bsky.social asked if it was accurate.
It turns out that it did exactly what genAI does: made stuff up & got stuff wrong.🧵

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

A big part of being a historian is being a detective! Who did this? Why? Where? Why does it matter in the grand scheme of things? You have to learn how to probe, how to uncover, how to read against the grain, how to find unusual sources, how to interpret those sources. How to piece together a puzzle
It also robs students of learning *how* to research.

Thing is, wearing a mask means having nothing to fear. Neither I, nor any of my kids, have ever had covid, and thus, none of the future complications years from now.
My daughter remains eligible for heart transplant, while others keep getting infected and don't survive. That's living, not hiding.

It’s not a refusal to re-enter society.
It’s not shaping your life around Covid avoidance.
It’s adaptation. It’s a desire to protect health. It’s being willing to accept that things change, and masking & clean air are the way forward.
Mass death & disability is not normal
