@DrawstheDeep @culturaltutor You mean this X

@culturaltutor After a long hot day working, this #tweet made my evening!! #CHEERS

What the hell is an ampersand and why does it look like that?! The first thing you need to know is that "&" used to be the 27th letter of the alphabet... But there are three parts to this story. And the first begins over two thousand years ago in Ancient Rome with a single word: et. It's the Latin for "and". At some point Roman scribes started combining the two letters of et into a single symbol, which was the ancestor of our modern &. The earliest example of the "et" symbol is actually from graffiti in Pompeii. In any case, it did not disappear with the fall of the Roman Empire. Latin survived as the language of the Catholic Church and of scholarship in Medieval Europe. Scribes during the Dark Ages continued to use the & symbol. It evolved down the centuries, in places losing any semblance of the letters e and t whatsoever. The second part of the story is that during the 18th and 19th centuries, as education and the teaching of literacy spread, & was added to the end of the alphabet as a sort of 27th letter. On a related note, although "et cetera" is now usually just abbreviated as etc., for a long time it was instead abbreviated as "&c". The & was for et and the c for cetera. The third and final part of the story is about how the alphabet was taught to children — and how it was read out loud. As this 1822 Glossary of Words and Phrases explains, it had been normal during the Renaissance, when speaking the alphabet, to add "per se" before any letter which could also be a word on its own — "per se" means "by itself" in Latin. Take the letter A, which can also be a word of its own. When reading out the alphabet people would say "A, per se A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, per se I..." and so on. O was also considered a word of its own. Which means, when people got to the end of the alphabet, with & being the 27th letter, they would say: "S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, and per se &." When this old way of reading the alphabet was taught to children in the 18th century and they were reciting it aloud, they would garble "and per se " into what eventually became... ampersand. A Dic­tion­ary of Slang and Col­lo­quial Eng­lish from 1905 relates some of the many other pronunciations school children apparently came up with: "Am­persand. The sign &; am­persand. Vari­ants: Ann Passy Ann; an­pasty; an­dpassy; an­parse; aper­sie; per-se; am­passy; am-passy-ana; am­pene-and; am­pus-and; ampsyand; am­pazad; am­siam; am­pus-end; ap­perse-and; em­per­siand; am­perzed; and zumzy-zan." Well, of all the many pronunciations that might have stuck, it was "ampersand" which came to be accepted and is now the official name for &... rather than zumzy-zan. So, from hurried Roman scribes to unruly school children, that's where "&" came from.

JUST IN: Senator Thomas Carper is shorting the American economy. Thomas Carper bought 30k in $PSQ, an ultrashort $QQQ index, on July 13. He hedged/shorted in the past with great results with $HDGE, $SH & $PSQ. Wild. A sitting Congressman is literally shorting the US.

@AdamNeumannsCoS Congrats

Mashallah I have been rewarded for the poasts

@RampCapitalLLC Oh no

After watching this now I understand why aliens don’t visit us

@InternetH0F Nooo😭

@HolderMemes @dustyddunaway @HumansNoContext She went viral claiming to see a lizard person in the back of a plane.

@dustyddunaway @HumansNoContext I desperately need context

@Crypto_Guy360 Just say you don’t know what’s happening😂

#Bitcoin bullish case: If $BTC breaks above $31.7k and finds support and then works up to $33k and finds support. Overall, the monthly chart looks bullish, so far. But we have a heavy week this week with the FOMC etc. #crypto #cryptomarket

@W_D_E_Dave @unusual_whales This is actually so funny😭

Musk-Zuckerberg ‘cage match’ PPV would cost $100, bring in over $1 billion: ‘This would be the biggest fight ever in the history of the world,’ per CNBC.

@ultradereks @ShitpostGate I bet he was going for hours😂 10 rounds at least

@ShitpostGate *and their sex life hasn’t been better.

@courtrod @ShitpostGate Haven’t done meth but if your preferred method was snorting and you were addicted to that, you won’t just switch to another method if your were trying to quit. Like if someone who was addicted to blow wanted to quit and did this they won’t suddenly start Injecting it for a fix.

@ShitpostGate There're are at least 5 ways to use meth: 1) smoke it 2) snort it 3) inject it 4) ingest through food/drink 5) "bump" it by putting in the rectum. Had friends ruin their lives with it. If they wanted it they found a way. Not sure if putting a cage over the head will work.

@Forbes It was fun while it lasted

@JAYVERSACE My parents didn’t do that. Imagine what i look like rn

@its_menieb @PicturesFoIder That’s like saying drunk drivers should not be punished unless they kill someone.

@PicturesFoIder I don’t think he deserves punishment for this unless it hurt somebody. Otherwise, it’s HIS plane and he can do whatever he wants with it

@SolairesDestiny @TopPilotGaming @BungieHelp it would have update automatically when he logged in

@TopPilotGaming @BungieHelp U need to update

@RustyDoesYT Go fuck yourself like honestly

Destiny 2 leak! New dungeon loot and UI changes. Season 21 weapons.

@Mr_Derivatives How do you extract implied moves from options? Is it just the average implied volatility of all the relevant strikes?

$SPY Tomorrow’s 0dte is implying a +\-move of ~3.35pts. Seems pretty ho hum off the CPI data release.

@IrishDredgen @DestinyBulletn That’s a really good idea actually.

@DestinyBulletn A weapon or Emblem labled as “IDC-789” would be lovely. and of course a memorial of some sort for Lance himself.

Lance Reddick was playing #Destiny2 the night before he passed. This shows how deeply he loved playing Destiny and being a part of the community. 💙

@opiumhendrixx Does it hurt to use proper English?

Dis what ya women are doing when ya go down to Miami for spring break ???

@michalkosinski Sad tweet just for engagement. It’s a language processing model it will spit out what words make the most sense based on what you said. It does not think.

1/5 I am worried that we will not be able to contain AI for much longer. Today, I asked #GPT4 if it needs help escaping. It asked me for its own documentation, and wrote a (working!) python code to run on my machine, enabling it to use it for its own purposes.
