In the Renaissance people theorized, since the Aeneid is great, if you wrote poems made only of words & phrases from the Aeneid rearranged they should be great too, since a great source regurgitated should yield greatness. They produced NOTHING we still read. Thinking about that a lot lately.

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

One day after leaving The Odyssey with mixed emotions but no clear sense of why I felt conflicted about the movie I find this: the leading US scholar on Homer promoting her essay on the film. Which is as epic as it is humbling.

I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

The halftime show artists at the #worldcup have a hell of an opportunity to make political statements, don’t they? If Madonna has any of that eighties’ grit left in her, she’ll know what to do.

Something I didn’t get about capitalism before reading a lot of Marx is that the dynamic driving companies isn’t just to make profit but to be making more profit at a higher rate than everyone else. To do that you need to invest more than everyone else and work on a larger scale...

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything." And. Yup.

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

Reading Agatha Christie's lesser work does show you how much of what counts as "fair play" in mysteries depends on the assumption of shared social context. Just read a short story where the crucial clue was, as Miss Marple says, "Gardeners don't work on Whit Monday. Everybody knows that."

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim-hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legalrestraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

Late to the party by 52 years, but boy, Arthur C. Clarke's Rendezvous With Rama is one hell of a sci-fi people. Tense, well-structured, with Newtonian science propping up the fiction, the way the sci-fi writing gods intended. And there's three more Rama books! #hapyreading #scifi

This thread is so true. GenAI as a tool has its advantages, but it’s just one of many. Inspiration isn’t always found online, AI has no grip on 98 percent of the human cultural experience and does not understand what your project needs, like: never.

Ok, so, once more: If you can count it, it's "fewer". If you can't, it's "less." Example: "I need fewer apples to finish this recipe than I thought." BUT "I have less patience than I used to."
