The only possible thing that could make this worth watching is if everyone dies.

He knew that, D'oh.

Don't you trust me?

Partner: Of course not, you're a woman.

It's good that Venusians read Plato.

18c bullshit, courtesy of Google’s Gemini AI chatbot: “Richardson, though never directly mentioning Fielding, likely had him in mind when creating the villainous Lovelace in Clarissa (1747).”

@allenmichie That is a hilarious one.

Good news for folks who enjoy AI embarrassing itself with nonsensical answers!

"Well, according to an interview at The Verge with Google CEO Sundar Pichai published earlier this week, just before criticism of the outputs really took off, these "hallucinations" are an "inherent feature" of AI large language models (LLM), which is what drives AI Overviews, and this feature "is still an unsolved problem.""

@stefan It is annoying that they keep calling it "hallucination".

How to actually appeal to young voters and win the 2024 elections

@ErikUden Where is this from? Can I repost it elsewhere?

I got the Shingrix shingles vaccine on Thursday, and I definitely felt some side effects yesterday (fatigue, chills) but I’m pretty confident it’s way better than actually getting shingles.

jsadow,
@jsadow@c18.masto.host avatar

@overholt @LillyHerself it is the second shot that is a killer for side effects (intense joint pain in my case) but everyone says actual shingles is the worst pain they've ever had so definitely better etc.

That Jackie West debut album that just dropped is very beautiful.

jsadow,
@jsadow@c18.masto.host avatar

@kissane It is a drag that Mastodon doesn't care about music.

jsadow,
@jsadow@c18.masto.host avatar

@radiofreefedi @kissane Search is so bad on Mastodon that it is hard to know. What are some good music-related accounts to follow?

jsadow,
@jsadow@c18.masto.host avatar

@buffyleigh @radiofreefedi @kissane @1001otheralbums.com@1001otheralbums.com Is "John Mastodon" a fictional character who is the embodiment of Mastodon?

Sorry for the late notice, but network work at MIT means our stream is down this morning. Should be up shortly.

@wmbr Will have to listen to Becca's BOC tomorrow, instead.

For anyone on Bluesky following me at @jonathansadow.bsky.social where I never post, I think you can follow me at @jsadow.c18.masto.host.ap.brid.gy to follow me on Mastodon where I post on rare occasion.

experimenting with the Bridgy Fed, but don't know how to follow this account: @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy

@jsadow@c18.masto.host avatar

@mazdam @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy It would be helpful if you could log into your account on the other side and follow accounts there.

jsadow,
@jsadow@c18.masto.host avatar

@mazdam @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy Or follow accounts on Bluesky from Mastodon, which I think you can't do?

Re-reading Memoirs of Emma Courtney, which I hadn’t read since grad school. I had forgotten how infuriating it is.

jsadow,
@jsadow@c18.masto.host avatar

@shandyist Ha, I think it is really the other way around. Why is it infuriating?

For a long time, I've said that the thing I love about the gothic novel, in its eighteenth-century form, is that it appealed to young women particularly because it suggests that their fears are not stupid or insignificant; there really is a conspiracy against you, and you must act, now. (The conspiracy is patriarchy! They're not wrong!)

Teaching The Turn of the Screw today, it's like the perfect meta-gothic. The real danger is how we act on our certainty of danger!

Cf. Bodies Bodies Bodies.

@carrideen On the meta-Turn of the Screw, "Turning the Screw of Interpretation" is the pinnacle.
