From this, she claims to have a perfect understanding of the book. Anyway, Calvino wrote that in 1979. Truly prescient stuff

In If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler by Calvino, a student describes how she “reads” by feeding the text of a novel into a computer and having it spit out a count of how often each word appears. Ignoring the articles and prepositions, she finds the most common words

Personally, I read a bunch of classics in high register in college. I guess it was fun. I recently ChatGPT'd Aristotle into readable English, finished it around 5x as fast as a translation, and felt I got the main gist of things. idk does the pain incurred actually teach much?

Mad respect for the girl who just walked in the bar alone at 1:30 AM, crushed a single car bomb, and bounced

At an unprompted jazz show at a bar in Chicago. I feel like if you like jazz, you should just go to any show and listen to the band tune their instruments and then leave

I was only briefly a resident of Mississippi, but I honestly don’t see how anyone supports the Stennis Flag over the Magnolia Flag. It’s so beautiful and unique, and a true representation of the state. But honestly anything is better than the current flag

@ErinnCutright The biggest rush I get as an introvert is refusing plans, and I can’t even do that now

I relate a lot to Midsommar. Not the bad relationships or anything, but because I too am an anthropology grad student who booked a trip to Europe during a bout of existential dread over writing my thesis

@psycha_major Oh look, the white man isn’t worried about white supremacy and wants to downplay its importance. How novel

If they name this school St. Blaise, I expect us all to bully them

@testradaa123 Right, because economists would *never* try to insert themselves into discussions they have no business being a part of
