This and the nonstop Christmas music. Even at the shoe store where nothing else says Christmas, but the muzak rotation is already in place for the next 2 months.

📌ing this, because this is right up my alley. Love a good article on gaming history!

My pleasure! It’s a quick read, but packed with really interesting analysis on the nature of reading and deriving meaning from texts.

If you’re into fragment research, I highly recommend checking out the forthcoming book from U Toronto Press by Bamford, Unprinted. The focus is on texts from Iberia in the 1500s-1600s.

Good ad and all, but I’d be more impressed if you didn’t have a chatbot prominently displayed on your homepage.

I grew up in the Twin Cities. My parents would regularly reference the U and the Y (for YMCA). I was very confused.
