Has this happened to any of you using Gemini’s Nano Banana? I was refining a logo design for GeorgeEliotScholars.org and suddenly this scary shadow man appears. Happened in 3 separate sessions. Has he appeared to you? #NanoBananaShadowMan g.co/gemini/share/e…

@Tank___Evans Saw a line of 9 police vehicles speeding down College from Magnolia (Toomer’s Corners) 15 mins ago. Any more news?

@butYalways Thank you, Jungha Kim! It was wonderful to meet you!

Feeling thankful for amazing colleagues in DH willing to share their expertise and experience. Thank you Amy & Maura @#TAMU

@ProfMHewitt @OUPAcademic Delighted to see this book in the world. Congratulations, Martin!

Courier arrived with an unexpected parcel, so of course we had to have a celebration. Ten years in the making, but now I think we can say it has been *published*. Hopefully understandings of Victorian generations will never be the same again! Available via @OUPAcademic

@_akpiper @mattwilkens @dbamman @soni_sandeep @LizEvansX Congratulations! I look forward to reading this in JCLS.IO, a wonderful new DH journal. By the way, are you planning to spend Independence Day in Krakow, Poland? Very tempted to apply: jcls.io/site/cfp/

🚀 Exciting news! Our new article "Small Worlds" is out in JCLS, co-authored with @mattwilkens, @dbamman, @soni_sandeep and @LizEvansX. We explored the mobility of characters across 13,000+ English-language books. jcls.io/article/id/391…

@LouiseCreechan Congratulations, Louise! Your excellent work is receiving deserved recognition.

@Drrrgvdd @OliverKamm That thought belongs to James C. Next line is “Sir James might not have originated this estimate; but a kind Providence furnishes the limpest personality with a little gum or starch in the form of tradition.” Check quotes and context here: georgeeliotarchive.org/textexplorer @EliotArchive

@OliverKamm My favorite quote: A man's mind–what there is of it–has always the advantage of being masculine,–as the smallest birch-tree is of a higher kind than the most soaring palm,–and even his ignorance is of a sounder quality.

I finished Middlemarch today. What a magnificent achievement; the final words are a peerlessly wise & humane philosophy of life. I’ve never seen the much-lauded 1990s BBC adaptation, which is on iPlayer. Grateful for advice on whether I should watch it.

@rosemondcates @EventFlightless Wonderful news! Thanks for sharing. ;)

@BevRilett @EventFlightless Thank you so much! I used the archive for research on this paper and found it extremely useful.

Last week at @EventFlightless I presented on George Eliot, ran into an old classmate, and enjoyed meeting some amazing people. Looking forward to next year! #navsa

This paper is actually a nice find! "Assisting in Writing Wikipedia-like Articles From Scratch with Large Language Models" (arxiv.org/abs/2402.14207). Audio generation is definitely more impressive, but I can absorb information much more effectively in written form.

Too funny. I wrote the Canadian “honoured” and didn’t notice the auto/correction until I’d posted.

Thank you! I’m honored to have been invited. (Also honored!) 😆

@_akpiper Lovely! Did you write this, Andrew?

This is a good placeholder for the summer. See you in/after the Fall.

@lydiaecraig @eiu Congratulations, Lydia! Eastern Illinois U is lucky to have you.

@Christy_SpaceHW I’m so sorry you are going through this, Christy. Stay strong!
