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.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

An older watercolour drawing from when I used to make frequent trips to sketch in London. This shows the Embankment with lots of pigeons, a pavement artist and a couple of Japanese young women on one of the benches. This was sold at an exhibition.

I understand that they gave somebody 150 million to be the new boss of CBS. I just want to say, if these people are ever looking to do more novel things with their money, for 150 million dollars I will write an album every day for a year. I'll do it, too. try me

Can folks do me a favor?
I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.
I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.
I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.
Here’s two favorite set photos.

So @mattyglesias.bsky.social is doing that thing where he tells you what my post says without linking to it. Here's how it actually starts.
I'm waiting to hear his response to my question: "what happens when regulatory arbitrage isn't good?" Is it because the Abundance agenda falls apart then?
