Today I found out that Umberto Eco crafted a version of this meme in the 1980s…

Beware the
alibi of photocopies ! Photocopies are indis-
pensable instruments. They allow you to keep with you a text you have already read in the library, and to take home a text you have not read yet. But a set of photocopies can become an alibi. A student makes hundreds of pages of photocopies and takes them home, and the manual labor he exercises in doing so gives him the impression that he possesses the work. Owning the photocopies exempts the student from actually reading them. This sort of vertigo of accumulation, a neocapitalism of information, happens to many. Defend yourself from this trap: as soon as you have the photocopy, read it and annotate it immediately. If you are not in a great hurry, do not photocopy something new before you own (that is, before you have read and annotated) the previous set of photocopies. There are many things that I do not know because I photocopied a text and then relaxed as if I had read it.

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

Just remembered one of my all time favourite tweets

By @johnnorthside

Xanadu du du
Stately pleasure dome decree
Xanadu du du
Sacred river sunless sea
Fertile ground, girdled round
Blossomed incense-bearing tree
Come and dance every night, to the dulcimer lady

This is crazy lol. I’m slipping a piece of paper with Chinese written on it under a door and someone inside is responding in Chinese with another slip of paper. Whoever’s in there must be a native level Chinese speaker! Well, guess I’ll stop thinking about it now

There's no reasoning with that sort of handwaving so I'll leave it there.

On checking the BBC site this morning I read this "In just over 48 hours, Scotland's chances of reaching the World Cup knockouts for the first time have dropped from 42% to just 0.07%."

You're a credit to the BBC. Have you ever done a video or interview about learning Russian by any chance?

Having occasionally connected to the GovWifi network for work purposes, it's sometimes a bit disconcerting to be out and about and suddenly connect to the network when there are no obvious GovWifi-type buildings.
