Faerie land.

@jakebackpack Er erwarb einen Doktortitel an der Universität Freiburg, und dennoch ließen sie ihn nicht in die Partei eintreten! 😢

At last, a fun literary hoax-scandal.

The fan fiction is highly entertaining.

Everyone keeps saying that Jamir Nazir is a totally AI-generated person, but he appears to really exist and live in Trinidad and Tobago, even if he did use allegedly AI for his award winning poetry and used AI to create a headshot.

Especially when you do it in reaction to some website clickbait.

You guys really have got to stop ranking novels. Seriously.

Much enjoyed showing @timothy_kenny around my library, talking about different sorts and sets of Classics books, the history of scholarship and publishing, and all sorts of topics that happened to come up here and there. Full YouTube video linked below (it's not short!)

@IneluctableQuak It seems like most people have no idea how influence works. For them it's another way of saying "I consciously imitated X."

You mean to tell me Knausgaard is Norwegian for "keeper of the nuts"?

[Anthony Etherin @Anthony_Etherin]

WORD FACT

Latin “nucleus” (“kernel of a nut”) comes from “nucula”, a diminutive of nux (meaning “nut”). Latin “nux” and modern English “nut” share the Proto-Indo-European root *kneu-.

@jaycaspiankang Where your child is 9yo or 3yo, either way she is far too young for college. She really ought to finish high school first.

@anecdotal He needed secretaries because he was too inebriated to write.

@jakebackpack EXT: A 17yo girl enters the construction site, identifies herself as Mrs. Trump. She rises in the open elevator, gazing up at her architect. Trump stands triumphant, his arms akimbo, near the edge of the tall ballroom as the winds buffet him atop his magnificent creation.

Still the most reliable way to get a good laugh out of me.

[name but also a little joke @bearsaremean]

20+ since Charles Grodin yelled at Martin Short to act like a human boy and I have carried that insult in my heart ever since, I love it so much.

And "human" is so funnier than "normal human", the bar is so much lower, after all this time my only contribution to the joke has been to make it worse. Just give me one more decade, let me workshop this one a bit, my strength is not improv

What is the deal with this guy and animals?

He's like the inverse St Francis of Assisi.
