You know what we won't need once handwriting recognition software has done its thing? Archivists, curators, conservators, catalogers, codicologists, or paleographers. We won't need archives either. We won't need diplomatics, editorial theory, book or media history, or material culture studies 🗃️🧵

Judging high-school videos for the state German competition. This year's best line: "Sie sieht aus wie eine möchte-gern Angela Merkel..." That is a banger. Teenagers (especially if they are someone else's) will always amaze and delight -- such a clever bunch this year!

Uttered by me today in the citrus aisle to a shopper looking for large oranges: “It isn’t the size of the navel but the quality of contemplation that counts.” Possibly this is why I ought not to go out alone….
