@michaelhobbes.bsky.social presumably many people have said this but “Mindfuck” is so ready for a IBCK that I started reading bits of it in your voice before taking that as A Sign and bailing.

Happy Birthday Alan Turing
The Alan Turing Memorial, situated in Sackville Gardens in Manchester, England. (Just outside Manchester's gay village.) It is a bronze sculpture in memory of Alan Turing, a pioneer of modern computing. Alan is sitting on bench. The memorial is covered in flowers, as it is his birthday today.

The thing is, I don’t remember any of this - there was a day when nobody thought it was an option, then a literal day when it might happen, then it was irreversibly happening. There wasn’t a persuasion phase.

This is what Turing’s statue looks like on his birthday ❤️
Alan Turing’s statue in Manchester surrounded by lots of bunches of flowers and some pots of flowers. Most are on the bench and some are on the floor.

Cleaning is dangerous!
"One inch in from the bottom and left-hand side of the daguerreotype can be seen the two figures who remained in the same place long enough to be recorded. Daguerre’s image was presented as part of a triptych to King Ludwig I and was displayed from 20 October 1839 at the Arts Association in Munich. The daguerreotype in this book is, obviously, a copy. But a copy is all that it is possible to see of that first photograph of humanity: the original was destroyed when being cleaned at the Munich Fotomuseum around 1974. Only an empty wooden frame with the description remains as a record of the original." From Gardner, John, and David Stewart. “Introduction.” Chapter. In Nineteenth-Century Literature in Transition: The 1830s, edited by John Gardner and David Stewart, 1–16. Nineteenth-Century Literature in Transition. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2024.

It's backed-up by research! "samples from the United States were less frequently specified in titles" unless "they referred to racial/ethnic/cultural minorities who may be perceived as exceptions to assumed generalizability of the White American population" #AcademicSky doi.org/10.1177/1948...
Screenshot of a journal article titled "How USA-Centric Is Psychology? An Archival Study of Implicit Assumptions of Generalizability of Findings to Human Nature Based on Origins of Study Samples". Authors listed are Bobby K. Cheon, Irene Melani, and Ying-yi Hong. A section is highlighted, stating: "We observed that samples from the United States were less frequently specified in titles compared to both other WEIRD and non-WEIRD regions." The abstract concludes that this bias may reflect assumptions of generalizability of White American populations to all humankind.

I just had to go back a full day of #academicsky to find a picture that had alt-text. Has the system changed or do we not do that any more? I’m pretty sure there was a time on Bluesky that leaving off alt-text was considered worse than writing “Elon is a genius” at the end of a post.

#academicsky - This is a strange thing to look for but I'm interested in finding a dataset of 'initial letter of surname by country' I.e. I am looking to be able to say "only 0.6% of people in France have a surname beginning with H, but 30% of people in Wales have a surname beginning with P"
