Logeion Greek-Latin

Any outage tonight is a regular outage for monthly updates and should only last moments. (She said. I'll just walk away now)

It’s nice that conspicuous so often combines with things that definitionally are not there: absence, silence. Only the expert can feel that things that are not there are staring them in the face😉

My guess for Ancient Greek place names that are vegetation based (reeds, clover, celery,..) is that they are more based on looks than on eating.. Eg Selinous, now Selinunte (Sicily), named for a kind of wild celery.

Mamdani is overal. Maar hij is beleefder.

Three property tax attorneys at Holland Hicks Law — including partners Jeffrey Holland and Harold Hicks — donated a combined $8,500 to Hynes' campaign. You might not recognize the firm's name, and that's by design. It used to be called Madigan & Getzendanner until they rebranded in 2023 after Madigan was indicted. But it's not just Madigan's old firm. Pat Hynes has now taken 131 donations from property tax appeal attorneys totaling $112,100. Add in property tax appraisers and other real estate developers, executives, construction firms, and corporate landlords, and you're looking at more than $350,000 from the real estate industry funding his campaign. Why are all these people investing in Pat Hynes? Because they want a return on that investment. Property tax attorneys make their money winning big tax cuts for commercial property owners. Those cuts don't make taxes disappear. They shift the burden onto you.

Seems bad!

The "New.." message mentions more links in the Sidebar. This is a sign that you are (back) on our default server.

We are now fully back. Let us know if things break/are broken!

And we're back, with the basics. Awaiting resolution on the main server.

10 problem reports and counting about Logeion being down; plus some private messages. Good morning to you too:-)

Users beat the sysadmin this morning in popping up in my email. We'll be down for a bit. Hope it gets resolved soon!

OMG. Blutmässig. Of course, a mindset will have a vocabulary to go with it.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong is searching for an assistant professor in AI Humanities. Application deadline March 29.

Good. Enjoy your smiting Ramseses while you can.

Be safe.

Oh nooo. My favorite people!

🤯Can we call it “certifiable”😇

Sent you a dm with a possible alternative.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." -Minnesota native F. Scott Fitzgerald

The Impact+ Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence and Social Change is aligned with the federal strategic priority areas, which include responsible AI, democratic and community resilience, and humanities centred design. The research program will advance a global understanding of how AI technologies are designed, deployed, governed, and experienced in real-world social contexts. This research program may consider democratic institutions, public decision-making, civic participation, bias, accountability, surveillance and data sovereignty to contribute to the development of more inclusive and equitable AI practices.

This is a super interesting and frankly exciting opportunity for any US scholars focused on *critical* approaches to AI who may be looking to flee to Canada for obvious reasons.

Brock U. is in Southern Ontario. Decent spot. Very good labor studies program.

Racially Restrictive Covenants in the Chicago History Museum's Archives - Chicago History Museum Hannah Simmons writes about materials on racially restrictive covenants in the Chicago History Museum's Abakanowicz Research Center.

Yes! In the archives:

Great - that blog includes a link to this interactive map: digitalchicagohistory.org/exhibits/sho...

Also I haven't been to the DuSable Museum in a while, so I should revisit. I understand that museums can prioritize celebration over the history of oppression, but to my mind the Missouri History museum did a great job of combining the two.

I understand that not everything can be shown at once (as a Chicagoan, I was amused at a whole display case for a Nobel Prize winner - Chicago economists get less space in their own building:-)), but I was impressed by this entire exhibit on 'urban renewal', restrictive covenants, etc. in St. Louis.

Not just in student writing, but it is where we can still hope to make a difference! 😉

'took measures to make those in attendance aware' = put a microphone right there.

Really looking forward to talking to the Brooklyn College community about LLM curiosity & tinkering in both research and teaching!

Intersect is the new violate

My Canadian cousin got her Christmas card to me returned yesterday. There was no error in the address; but just a five digit zip code? Sovereign immunity I guess! Contrast that with a package from the Netherlands a few years ago that had my zip code scrambled *and* house address# scrambled. Success!

All I can say is: not enough O'Reilly.

Opening signage for the Mill Creek exhibit.

I failed to post this picture from the Missouri History Museum, from the several rooms devoted to Mill Creek, which I’d never even heard of, and segregation generally in the history of St. Louis. Left me wondering: Can you learn about issues like restrictive covenants this well in a Chicago museum?
