Robert E. Lee reading Homer, etc.

Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson used the tik tok slang phrase "understood the assignment" in her concurring opinion for the birthright citizenship case

@DietrichVFA41 @MickWest Have these notes ever been made public? I only follow the subject off and on, and I’m not sure if they were ever released.

@aimeeterese Always run when you hear the phrase “acts of service.”

The part where Luke tosses aside his lightsaber, symbolizing not only his rejection of the dark side, but also his surpassing of the Jedi before him, is the defining moment of the saga for me, and one of the greatest moments in cinema in general

[Michael(Poltfan)((JapanDayTripper)) @PoltFan69]

George Lucas could buy Star Wars back for pennies on the dollar and make the greatest flip in history.

@CifrOracle @TheProfInvestor Why?

[annie @soychotic]

The only reason the phrase “master’s degree” survived the 2020s “THAT WORD IS ROOTED IN SLAVERY” epidemic is because all the women who loudly cared about that sort of stuff all have useless masters degrees

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

when you ask AI about things you know nothing about, it seems smart but once you start asking it about topics you are actually an expert in, you realize it is just commoditized, polished, and amplified mediocrity.

@JohnDSailer The humanities resemble nothing so much as an old flag in which the center has disintegrated, and what remains are shreds of brightly colored cloth in the corners.

[Melissa S. Kearney @kearney_melissa]

Wow.
“In the most extreme cases (e.g., anthropology), we see a widespread deterioration in scholarly standards grounded in a pervasive repudiation of ideals of objectivity together with a toxic intellectual climate in which reasonable dissent on politically charged topics is routinely suppressed and punished.”

[Tenobrus @tenobrus]

berkeley professors started getting serious about detecting and preventing ai use in intro cs classes. fuckin 35% failure rate. combination of explicitly caught cheating, inability to pass exams, and not actually having learned anything from prerequisites.

college is over man

[Duckie Louise 🌦️🦝🌸🍓🎨☕️ @DuckieLouise]

If I sense a post was written with ai, I stop reading immediately. I don’t want my own human brain to get infected with that cadence or that flatness or any of it. Gross gross gross, get it off me.

[Trireme @trierarque]

Nice simple thread on the dating of Luke.

[ChaplinBendFarm @ChaplinBendFarm]

@KafkaesqueKlamm @charlesmurray Erhman is wrong. Luke/Acts is clearly written by Luke. We know this because in Acts 16:10 the narrative changes from third person to first person. From there on it's an eyewitness account.

[ChaplinBendFarm @ChaplinBendFarm]

@KafkaesqueKlamm @charlesmurray Paul's first imprisonment is thought to have been 60-62 AD. That puts Acts about 30 years after the events of the gospels.

[Ancient Philosophy🦉 @AncPhi]

What we have access to is information. Knowledge requires a teacher.

[Trireme @trierarque]

@alfredjviii Always assumed the dark outfit in ROTJ represented temptation of the Dark Side. (Luke actually Force chokes some Gamoreans early in the film. He’s already walking a fine line.)

[Trireme @trierarque]

A lot of the success of something like Star Wars comes down to boys obsessing over it, and girls tagging along when they see that boys are into it.

With the feminization of popular media, this dynamic no longer plays out. No boy will obsess over entertainment meant for girls.

[Trireme @trierarque]

@robby_weidemann That’s a good thing.

[Trireme @trierarque]

Make it so.
