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.
Why Do Historians Still Have To Go To Archives?
Why do historians go to archives? Hasn’t everything already been digitized?

I think the TL;DR of this video is we stopped doing certain things, and maybe we shouldn’t have. At least not entirely. Modern design edition. And I really struck a chord with me.
God YouTube can be cool and good sometimes.
What a brilliant video that not only has a great fucking message, but is also beautifully shot/edited. youtu.be/tWYxrowovts

You know your product is cooked when the league who has players wearing Fanatics jerseys is making fun of it
This NHL ad making fun of AI is extremely funny, and I'm surprised I'm saying any of those words together

There's Discourse about using genAI for writing research, and I want to add that every time I've done research (reading books, emailing the library, talking directly to experts, etc) I always stumble across something that inspires a new direction or adds depth that wouldn't have been there before.

A prequel for the original was already a waste of time, so why waste more time with a sequel?
Unless Carpenter surprises me, I don't know...
Enough with the nostalgia bait, man.

You also don’t have to share it on the internet if you feel it’s not good enough. Just make the art and show your friends. I’ve been taking a lot of dance classes and I really love them but I’m not going to share any videos online of me dancing. Not everything valuable needs to be shared online.
I mean, things are tough all over. If rude criticism stops you from making art, you should probably not be making art.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

One of the many fun things about photographing birds is that sometimes you are trying very hard to get a photo of a bird through the branches/grasses/etc. and other times the bird does this.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.
