@henribergson666 @DrewLDickerson Which book is this?

[Chad Vindin @ChadVindin]

@WeirdMedieval For some reason I first read that as "suffering, euphoria, and Emerald Fennell all come from the same root word"

@lottebettsdean Heathcliff is a murderous psychopath who destroys everyone's lives and starves his own child to death. His obsession is a bug, not a feature. There's no love and certainly no romance, people inexplicably choose to see romance in it

[Chad Vindin @ChadVindin]

@lottebettsdean My naughty take is that anyone who likes this story can't see it for what it is, so the only way to portray it is to also not see it for what it is, so in that sense, she is serving the audience's story, not the author's

@hyusapx This looks amazing- where can I find it?

[Chad Vindin @ChadVindin]

@lottebettsdean I love these sorts of details!

@flynnslick Tabloid by Errol Morris is one of my all time faves.
The Imposter by Bart Layton
Raw Deal by Billy Corben

@Komaniecki_R Definitely a better term than the "Scotch snap".

All languages covey information at a similar rate when spoken (39bits/s).

Languages that are spoken faster have less information density per syllable!

One of the coolest results in linguistics.

Instead of saying "you have to practice to get better", I've got an aerials instructor who says "whatever you do is what you'll get better at".

I love the reframing.

Scientists are figuring out that birds talk to each other through song.
I bet there have been birds who heard some of Messiaen's music and thought "oh that's completely inaccessible"

Notable to me that every for-profit information hub is injecting AI into every corner of their services while the largest nonprofit information hub is fighting it off like their the Night's Watch

The London Review of Books has evidently hired a classy shit-poster to do their social media, and I'm all in

[London Review Bookshop @LRBbookshop]

not a lot of people know that "Sally Rooney: Intermezzo" is an anagram of "merely a nine złoty's orzo". 9 złoty is about £1.50, which from Morrisons gets you 500g of orzo - just 60g less than the weight of *Intermezzo* in hardback. a fun "easter egg" from faber and faber

Learning that some people in Dorset, England, still say “thou bist” (like German 𝘥𝘶 𝘣𝘪𝘴𝘵, Old English 𝘵𝘩𝘶 𝘣𝘪𝘴𝘵) instead of “you are.”
