An Allen, our Sangria, and a memorial “martooni” for my mum’s 98th birthday at Dalí tapas restaurant

@jetsjets @paulkrugman There was no way they would have had the Republican votes to overcome a filibuster or almost certainly even the votes of Manchin or Sinema. This is a red herring

@matt_boot_ I may have snorted

@AntigoneJournal As a child, probably D’Aulaire’s myths originally. As an adult, a bout in the 90s reading historical fiction by Renault, Saylor, McCullough, etc, reading Fagles’s Odyssey, and then taking Greek at the Harvard extension school (we began with Homer!)

@matt_boot_ I was a fan of Tzotzil myself back in the day

This is terrifying: a marketer pinged me for quote permission — common for a journalist. Only I didn’t recognize the text as something I’d ever said. Pumping it into Google returned nothing.

I asked where he got it: ChatGPT. AI fabricated a quote and attributed it to me.

@matt_boot_ I noticed that!! 💕

@matt_boot_ @jon_speaks_ Levantine Arabic that I took in college had [æ:] except around emphatic consonants when it was just as you describe for Egyptian

[Justin Grunau @iustinianus]

@matt_boot_ Yes I’ve heard it. I just assume it’s someone who guessed the pronunciation from reading it instead of hearing it first
