Zach found this recording recently, and it's a crucial piece of evidence that thoroughly refutes a theory put forward by Alina Chan, DRASTIC, and even, according to what we read in Vanity Fair, the FBI. Check his thread! #covidorigin

It's a public webinar that Zhengli Shi delivered on March 9, 2020, before a global pandemic had been declared. In this clip from the talk, Shi delineates 4 sarbecovirus lineages. The 8 samples in "Lineage 4" are the ones in the figure most closely related to SARS-CoV-2.

Final Whitman print. "A noiseless patient spider, I mark’d where...it stood isolated, launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself...And you O my soul where you stand / Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space...Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul"

Photo of a letterpress print on deep blue paper with silver ink. It says "A noiseless patient spider" and proceeds with the rest of Walt Whitman's poem's text, but with the lines at angles to resemble rays, the eight legs & body of a spider, so not easily readable in order. The phrases "O my soul where you stand" and "O my soul." stand out in larger text with the O a very circular one positioned to look like a spider with eight legs, then a spider hanging on a threadPhoto of a letterpress print on deep blue paper with silver ink, held up in front of a sunlit frosted door.

The type is hard to read and fills the space with diagonal lines; it's the type for the print in the two previous photos.

Test print 👍 of the Whitman poem. Using rule like web lines between the text worked; going to add some more. I remembered to put the missing letter back in, too. #DHmakes

understand why students might think this is a rebuke of the UVA Board shenanigans but absolutely humiliating to see the whitewashing of a man who unashamedly lied about students & called in state troopers to brutalize them as an quixotic demonstration of why harvard should take him back as prez

first time in new york since zohran took office and other than having to recite the shahada on arrival at laguardia nothing much has changed

Not accusing anyone upstream of doing this, but I feel like AI-critical digital humanities folks are going to carve out an exception in the criticism for AI-coding, fundamentally because most of them don't think that coding is intellectual labor.

This post from @ryancordell.org got me curious to try out Claude Code, so I am trying it out now. Using it to try to recreate the Virginia Woolf project from my dissertation project. Will share notes and thoughts here as I go.

Half the countries that just sent troops to Greenland (specifically, UK, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark) were part of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, so there’s definitely a limit to how outraged I think they’re entitled to be.

This seems to strongly suggest that the incoming president of UVA doctored his CV to the edge of outright dishonesty, and that the most recent changes came months before Jim Ryan was forced, as if they were made in anticipation in Ryan’s removal. augustafreepress.com/news/vanishi...

Ask not what your representative will do for you (nothing), ask how you can make your representative so miserable they quit their job

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds. I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are. My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.

I’m enjoying this Fuchsia Dunlop book about Chinese food, in part because she’s so openly good-natured and also inexplicably hostile to Daoists. Just like “this dish is indescribably delicious and beloved by all under heaven except those goddamn Daoist monk jackasses.”
