I inflict computers on old books and vice versa. Digital Humanist by training, press-ganged into writing instruction. Will teach for access to research databases.
Daanng! Wish I'd seen this before rolling out my syllabus this semester! I'm totally stealing this next semester.
Is there for a form of citation/credit you'd prefer for it. :-D

In (almost) any other year, a power outage in mid-January (in the Land of Cleve, no less) would *NOT* threaten anyone's supply of frozen food.
Damn global warming. :-/

This just in: Microsoft and NVidia CEO's both agree "Our products are so great that it would be really awesome if you'd stop calling them crappy."

Oooh! This is a fun one! Obviously, can only think of candidates off the top of my head, but I would think the key questions are: How much originality counts for "authorship?" How much "work" constitutes the "work?" And how much did economic pressures influence this outcome?

Yeah, I thought of Caxton, too, but I think the question presupposes "full works," and most of Caxton's works were translations or antiquitites.

I was about to ask the same! I was thinking it might just be the C-Bus locations...

When I lived in Europe (Germany and UK), I loved to blow people's minds by pointing out that the distance from London (UK) to Paris (France) is shorter than the distance from London, TX to Paris, TX. :-D

When they took the printer out of the trunk and got the bats, we were jumping up and down on the sofa, screaming "Hit it for me!!"

Long, long ago, I was working a tech support job, and we watched "Office Space" at the department holiday party. When that particular printer gave that *particular* error message, we all collectively groaned. We knew it well...

Do you mean @nkjemisin.bsky.social 's "The Ones Who Stay and Fight?" I teach the two side-by-side, and I love the contrast Jemisin provides (and her upfront challenge to Le Guin's fairly simple binary of "leave or stay.")

When we "adopted" the "stray" cat on our street (replace scare quotes with "stole" and "roaming/outdoor"), we knew she might be spoken for, so we got her a collar that said "If this is your cat, please call..." :-D

Thanks! Your archives have moved around a bit of late, and I didn't remember of that one was still online. :-D

(And, of course, if you haven't read @badmachinery.com 's "Giant Days x Batman", you should. Don't think it's online any more, but print copies... exist? Probably. Completely different meeting of a completely different Daisy with... presumably the same Batman?)

Holy poop, I had forgotten that one. In my defense, that is some DEEP walky-verse lore right there.

Wait, is this a Giant Days reference, or a completely different comic reference I don't get? o.0

My brother (elder by 2.5 years), once tried to pull the "I'm the original, you're just a copy" line. I countered that he was the beta test and I was the production model. :-D
