I am delighted to report that a shitpost I wrote a year or so ago in response to the question 'who was the first person to boil an egg?' is now being repeated by AI-penned spam pages

🗃️ The whole history of this is super interesting - the 2016 book 'The Legacy of the Japanese Bluestocking Society (Seitosha)' is a pretty great writeup (one of those books you start reading and just keep going), and I'd also like to share their manifesto that was published in this first issue:

The clock has struck midnight on the Atlantic. The time is upon us. It is #Squidtember! We have SO MUCH planned for you. But first, what you've all been waiting for. Squid shirt 2024. @coreydanks.bsky.social created some of the most deranged squid art I have ever seen. I'm obsessed.

So like, someone just pulled the little “here, my sockpuppet account wants to know why you’re so down on Nate Silver for using ChatGPT for research,” and I have the obvious answer, which is that ChatGPT knows what words come next but doesn’t know the right answer.

seriously, though, this sucks: 1—40%+ of voters like this guy 2—even if some say “doesn’t seem quite right” many add “but it must have seeds of truth or people who aren’t far left trans would call it out” 3—more people believe the lie “healthcare for trans kids is too easy” 4—kids can’t get care

reputation and legitimacy is absolutely what Forbes and similar places sell, but it's also totally grifting corps too, which is funny. like, if you get on a top whatever list with them, they then urge you to pay thousands for merch and the license to DISPLAY the award on your website and comms.

I didn't manage anything for #Smaugust, sadly. But here's a page of sketches of a green peafowl-inspired dragon from 2021.

I found this activity in my Amer Govt #polisky materials & thought I'd share. It's designed to get students reflecting on what politics is. I'd handout a paper with these three speeches & assign students in groups to read one of them & answer the questions about it. Then we'd do a class discussion.

You see this a lot, but it makes sense. Our brains don't measure the progress of time in a purely quantitative way. It's more qualitative Meaning: We tend to measure time in events, 'landmarks', i.e. "It's been a while since [significant event]", rather than "It's been 56 days since new year" /1

SO MANY great hashtags spawned on Science Twitter! #DoesItFart led to the creation of an animal fart database and then became a book, written by @danirabaiotti.bsky.social and Nick Caruso and illustrated by @blackmudpuppy.bsky.social, it began as a convo about whether or not snakes fart (they do) 🧪

Today on the patreon I wrote about the history of how men don't like it when women speak, and how I don't care. You can check it out from only a quid per month, which would be very cool of you. www.patreon.com/posts/on-wom...
