@RadLacina @KissineMikhail This does not address the classic "Some dogs are mammals" case; You would need to tell it that "All daxes are dumbos" before asking the test question. Sorry for multiple replies :-)

[Ira Noveck @Irastamon]

@RadLacina But you didn't specify that in fact all daxes are dumbos

@KissineMikhail For the record, it's more like half

@wisekaren 'Squib' is occasionally used in academic journals (and in my mind linguistic journals) to describe a type of short article that (the author considers to be) potentially impactful. Some of my favorite pieces are squibs. That said, I associated these with the firework meaning.

@DannyBate4 So, another way to put it is that “both” provides an upper bound (not more than two) that “two” doesn’t?

@OnSophiaStreet I’m there. So far it feels like that moment early at a work party where people are eyeing each other but not interacting much. But it does have the feel of Twitter. I do miss the political stuff.

@jasondhorowitz @NewYorker A writer friend sent me your piece, undoubtedly b/c I too grew up with the Mets (played LL in Flushing Meadow next to Shea), have kids who I raised abroad (France) & with whom I shared my love of baseball & the Mets. Don't worry, Luca will get it. OTOH, if they win next year...

@sergioten Don’t mean to sound snarky (I’m not a big enough football fan to go all out for it but I also know a lot of people boycotting it this time).

[Ira Noveck @Irastamon]

@sergioten Not watching it?

Ok, I think this time I did it correctly for real. I'm joining the herd at Mastadon. @[email protected]

@VBambini Elon Musk is unbearable and unpredictable… I don’t see people of good conscious staying here for too long.

@VBambini For the record, I asked an artist friend Didier Cailly to come up with (to imagine) a cover after describing the contents of the book.
