people often accuse me of committing hijinks, but I ask you, why would I ever let my jinks be low?

weird little guy (respectful)
an unbelievably tiny, slightly translucent white mushroom, with a thin, curving stalk and a cap that looks like a jellyfish, growing out of the moss covering a tree trunk. the photo has very shallow depth of field, with the mushroom and an area of moss in focus but the foreground moss blurry and the background black with a hint of green

Angebote für Studierende, "die noch nicht so gern prompten, weil sie lieber selbst formulieren und denken wollen."

Dazu fällt mir auch nichts mehr ein.
Zeitungsauszug: "Der LMU Career Service veranstalte rund 80 Events im Jahr für alle Branchen und Berufe, darunter eine KI-Akademie, die sich auch an Studenten richtet, die noch nicht so gern prompten, weil sie lieber selbst for-, mulieren und denken wollen."

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

In addition to how deeply wrong I believe this to be, it makes clear how complex our fight for the future will be.

We all need to REALLY understand why this is wrong and dangerous. And this is not only about people with dementia.

A cat in the fancy litter box like in the quoted post, but the litter box is photoshopped to look like Ultramarine armor and the cat has a red eye implant. They're facing off against Chaos Space Marines. Thank you to @caitlinroseboyle.com for making this for me. We are truly in our WH40k era.

Austrians continue to rank as having one of the highest English proficiencies from non native English speaking countries, and as someone who goes to Austria often I refuse to believe who ever does this survey has ever left Vienna.

Medieval "Piss-Prophets" who would taste urine using a "urine wheel" have entered the chat.
A close up of the medieval urine wheel featuring urines of different colors. There is an illustration in the middle of a seated man inspecting another man's urine.

Be wary of anyone claiming to teach or discuss history without bias. History is, and always has been, an exercise in interpretation. Treating it like an exact science is, at best, ignorant—and at worst, outright deceitful.

While I was exploring the fully digitized Dijon BM Ms 130, I found this doggo either napping in or biting a Q on fol. 107r.

Whole MS here: patrimoine.bm-dijon.fr/pleade/img-v...
Medieval manuscript page detail with a dog drawn in red ink curled up in the bottom of a large red initial Q.

It’s #WomensHistoryMonth, so let’s celebrate Dulcia, a nun/scribe who signed Laon, Municipal Library MS 423 in the first half of the eighth century. IMHO, this manuscript is *chefs kiss*. Time for some #nuntastic #BreakfastPaleography!

St. Mildred, continued! Her feast day was yesterday, but I had more manuscripts than I could get to. Let's look at BL Cotton Vespasian B XX, an early-12th-c. dossier of materials relating to St. Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury, including texts by Goscelin of St. Bertin about Mildred. 🧵

"Rags to Riches" and "Self-Made Man" stories have long been self-fashioning tools for the ambitious. Historical examples of Rags-to-Riches stories real and fake show us how to cut through the propaganda!

Rags to Riches Stories Fake & Real, or Always Look Up Everybody’s Mom! – Ex Urbe
Rags to Riches stories were popular long before modern iterations like the “American Dream” or “self-made man”, or even early modern ones like Jack the Giant-Killer or Cinderella. And they were also…
