This is an absolutely stunning discovery!

Finally got around to watching Severance, and all the propaganda reminds me of a small pamphlet I purchased at Roycroft called "A Message To Garcia" which apparently went viral in 1899 — effectively and eerily 19th c

All I have to offer are tautologies

Big mood!

CNN reporting that the strikes on Iran tonight are joint US and Israeli strikes.

Which means Donald Trump should be impeached for a third time.

What he has done tonight is illegal under the US constitution and the UN charter.

You know, Ukraine has never blown up a school full of little girls. Sometimes an accident is not an accident, especially with countries like the US, Russia and Israel that repeatedly commit the same crimes against children.

I used Named Graphs in the .trig format to model provenance for a knowledge graph generated from a corpus of documents using a pre-existing digital humanities ontology and an LLM. It worked. I highly recommend this approach.

One of my favorite classes to teach in my HIS 3000 course on slavery is a discussion of how to think about early opposition to slavery and an intellectual history of the enslaved. I always assign @kbgraubart.bsky.social's awesome WMQ article and the famous Quaker Germantown petition from 1688...

Ukraine didn’t choose this war& it's wrong to assume that this is a permanent arrangement that others can stay safe behind Ukraine forever.Ukrainians are people,not terminators.

Let's test @anagora.bsky.social if it will pick up [[serendipity]]

Can I link any Wikipedia article, such as the [[characteristica universalis]] one?

i think this is what drives me nuts. people talk about how, say, the UN was founded by "starry eyed idealists" who didn't understand "reality." the truth is that the UN was founded by those who had just fought and *won* the bloodiest war in human history.

I hope to understand more in the future and build relationships of solidarity

such that systemic racism can be dismantled in a way which engages indigenous community partners to support and revitalize their own languages. I recognize that while this is a tension for me as a settler seeking to understand, it is probably not a tension for my indigenous colleagues

Need more people working in Linked Data and Semantics to understand the importance of the C.A.R.E. principles in addition to the F.A.I.R. principles. www.gida-global.org/care
