Walked into the DH lab this afternoon to find this handsome Octopus Palaeographicus on the whiteboard.

Yves Klein Blue Monochrome. Here’s a high school class on a field trip staring in complete awe at it. They made fun of every other painting on the floor but when they got to this one they just kept repeating “it’s so blue” “how is it so blue” “it’s so fucking blue” etc

If you see this tweet, you have to mention one of your favorite paintings. I saw Ivan the Terrible and His Son Ivan at the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. It’s huge and fucked me up.

Postmortem.
Thanks for all of the retweets!
Late last night the twitter/x account was suspended and I also can't view the ResearchGate account anymore.
Here's a summary of some of the discussion/findings.

I knew there were a lot of fake accounts on this platform, but they are usually obvious. I had no idea how intricate and complex the ruse could be. Get a load of this story. 1/

Just the most astounding couple of paragraphs.
Pure oligarchy territory.

a major gripe i have with US higher ed is probably one you haven't thought of
so, adjuncts
adjunct professors used to be roles open for e.g. people who were career professionals who wanted to give back by teaching a class or two in their spare time

every time we bring up medieval medicine we have to mention bloodletting; what a dumb treatment, we think, modern medicine is evidence-based and would never do anything so ineffective and superstitious
nope, we routinely choose superstition over evidence, for example-

If you think the pandemic's over, you're badly wrong.
This is the staff absence rate for the seventh largest employer in the world.
See the consistency of the absence rate leading up to the pandemic...
Look at how it changed in 2020.
And see where it's going *now*.

PS, how this gets framed around the psychological trauma of Israeli soldiers and not the victims of genocidal violence is just wild.
English
CNN published a piece today about Israeli soldiers returning from Gaza. One bulldozer driver testifies that they drove over Palestinians, dead and alive, "in the hundreds". This is genocidal and just breathtakingly evil.

Everyone always talks about cafes, bookstores, staffed libraries, when there are plenty of other 3rd places. Parks! Public squares! A community center run by volunteers from the neighborhood!
But its the fantasy of comfort and being served people are after, not 3rd places

This dude is lying—like yes, there IS a loneliness epidemic, but it's NOT affecting men disproportionately. It's affecting the genders equally!(receipts below). There IS a male entitlement epidemic however (which he's demonstrating perfectly here with his need to center men) 🧵

As the author of this PDF, it's been interesting seeing people guess at the rationale behind its design. However, the rationale had nothing to do with theory vs practice, and everything to do with pragmatically coping with an unaccommodated disability in academia. (1/16)

Compilers was was known to be the hardest CS class at Cornell which was hard as it is. We were handed a 8-page PDF at the start of sem for a language spec we'd be implementing by the end of sem, split into 6 parts. On part 5, the median was a 0/100 and most the class failed.
