me: I’m enjoying this even though I don’t necessarily have the disciplinary training of the rest of the crowd
presenter: so now let’s look at Dav Pilkey
me: oh no actually my own literacy is more than adequate here
Here at the Ludification of Vision conference at UvA, marginally (husband presenting) but two exciting things so far (for me); 1) Captain Underpants and 2) in this Q&A there have been a few citations of @eikeexner.com‘s work on manga that I for sure am going to read
I have caught up on the drama surrounding the Neopets TTRPG (which I did help kickstart lol). I have so many thoughts and absolutely no audience for any of them
Book cover of Digital Degrowth: Radically Rethinking Our Digital Futures by Neil Selwyn
in a new city I like to wander from bookstore to bookstore, often rummaging for hours across different locations until I find books that tell me they want to come home with me
but sometimes the first book I see in the first bookstore I visit has a big fat “this is for you” sticker on it
this made me laugh way too loud at this coffee shop in Amsterdam and now me and the grandpas next to me are watching your video together. Prof Alvis you’re healing our cultural divides
sorry my reply guy instinct is faster than my “that‘s not even that funny” Wise brain
reindeer aren’t real, they’re made up for Santa like Minotaurs and narwhal. also, gloves???!!
A weathered leather bound book with a design devised in gold reading “Are we a stupid people?” With a large gold question mark and a lion holding a flag and a heraldic shield underneath. The bottom reads “By One of Them”
Today’s research deep dive brought me this leather bound book cover
I think intentionally activating your own diving reflex in order to physiologically force yourself to calm down is a technique we should be legitimately teaching to all schoolchildren alongside the Heimlich and Stop, Drop, and Roll. science rules

me halfway through attempting to explain to my husband “what I’m giggling about”: okay so the game is about a little girl from New Jersey. actually you know what it doesn’t matter. oh also just so I know, what do you know about orphan works
Smear campaigns in Reddit comments have become a fixture of celebrity legal dramas, but they aren't just affecting public figures. For @spitfirenews.com, I investigated anonymous online attacks against a woman who reported a music professor for sexual harassment.

It's funny as a long-time adjunct to see these tenured goobers announce how excited they are to never think or write for themselves again. There are hundreds or even thousands of us ready and able to unburden them, if that would really make them happy.
from my English-speaking perspective, it’s quite easy to pronounce as long as I’m not looking at the word spelled out 😅 I’m sure I’m missing some phonetic nuance
I'm probably going to go twice, as bookends
Screenshot of Google Translate in Dutch, “Niemand van ons weet waarom die idioot Groenland wil.” The English from which this translation was generated is not included in the screenshot, but it was “None of us know why that idiot wants Greenland”
I like to practice key phrases even when I know most people there speak English
this isn't a joke about dutch, it's a joke about my ability to spell
Headed to Amsterdam tomorrow, T-minus 24 hours to learn how to spell rikijsjmuseum

the Sioux Falls Stampede has a similar annual tradition

PHILLY LET'S GET RID OF THE DICKENS STATUE IN CLARK PARK AND ADD AN ACTUAL REAL LOCAL HERO
I'm not sure how to get a statue of someone made (feels like I should know, tbh), but I think one of @kendraserra.bsky.social hand-in-hand with Cookie feels pretty appropriate here?
GREAT thread & writeup for those of us interested in video games OR IP law OR cultural heritage OR all of those things
posting this with both my "annoying memelord" persona and my "annoying archivist" persona, as both are thankful to @philsalv.bsky.social for sharing this peek into the process
if this is cereal for men, who the HELL has been crunchatizing me this whole time
I'm not saying that those of us in cultural heritage should take advantage of the current moment by repackaging all our previously-deferred collections management/infrastructure/technical debt projects as "AI readiness." But I'm also not NOT saying that
someone smarter than me should write something about the particular convergence of having to save this resource due to its defunded maintenance costs and also feminizing the acronym from a man's name to a woman's name
