Evening viewing recommendation? On the Criterion Channel, watch TENEBRAE (1982) in our Dario Argento collection! ❤️‍🔥 Argento raises the giallo genre to new heights with this darkly humorous and notoriously grisly murder mystery, widely considered one of his finest works.

Really interesting. Having taught several works by Octavio Paz in my humanities and Spanish classes, I definitely think there is a value in showing students how tenuous the division between poetry and prose can be #PoetrySky #EducationSky #AcademicSky

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 29: The best way to promote your books isn't to spend money on ads. It's to get people interested in YOU. Engage. Comment on topics that interest you. Write blog posts on the themes of your books. If those things interest you, they may do the same for others.

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.

Quien ha visto la Esperanza, no la olvida. La busca bajo todos los cielos y entre todos los hombres. Y sueña que un día va a encontrarla de nuevo, no sabe dónde, acaso entre los suyos. En cada hombre late la posibilidad de ser o, más exactamente, de volver a ser, otro hombre. -Octavio Paz

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

I am endlessly fascinated by right wingers' obsession with Sparta. I can understand an initial vibes based appeal I guess - like if you opened the first page of a book on timocracy and were twelve. but the thing about history is you can find out what happened to those guys

I know it's no shock that AI has ruined Google, that you have to ignore the AI summary, but this is so bad. I was looking for 948-950 of the Pardoner's Tale. What the host means there is that the Pardoner asks people to kiss relics he's wiped his ass with. The AI can't read Chaucer so it bullshits.

In Middle English, "fundament depeynt" refers to an intricately illustrated base or foundation, claims Google AI. No it does not.
