@AntigoneJournal Mind your p’s and q’s, dot your i’s, cross your t’s, learn your ABC’s and you’ll get straight A’s.
@Athens_Stranger @hallerite John Carroll’s Humanism (1993) was the first book that made me think about this. Do you rate it?
Laurence Penney retweeted
1/n A physical book is a real object, anchored. If you read a particular edition, you remember not only the contents but the object itself: its cover, typography, smell, even where a passage sat on the page. Books organize themselves in memory by place --the ancient method of loci. Digital text does not exist.
My new library does not have tall bookshelves, intentionally so all books are in easy reach. Non #Lindy books are ditched except those that can be useful are in a hallway not in the main rooms. [Same material as Umberto Eco's but shorter]
Laurence Penney retweeted
The greatest harbinger of end times is not plague or war, but the sudden enormous proliferation of Xerox-quality POD editions (unmarked! no warning!) from houses like Penguin.
@AntigoneJournal Polytropos is now well on its way to being naturalized in English. Result!
Laurence Penney retweeted
Christopher Nolan asked the Oracle of Delphi, "Will audiences love my adaptation of the Odyssey?" And the Pythia replied, "They will discuss it non-stop for months before it even premieres." And away he went, glad in this heart, poor fool.
@AntigoneJournal Hoping for this set, despite Guthrie’s “deference and good manners” failing him “in a task which requires more boldness, even recklessness” when we get to volume 4 (J.M. Rist, 10.2307/1087338)

It was an honour to have a 1D map from my collection feature in an @underware talk last year at @ATypI Copenhagen. The video of the talk has just been published. youtube.com/watch?v=5jaYrj…

Destroying the @internetarchive's @waybackmachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history. Media giants are now threatening to do this. We can't let this happen. Pass it on.
@RichardDawkins I don’t mind endnotes but they’re unpleasant without running heads to indicate page range

清明上河图 (Along the River During the Qingming Festival, 12th century), the painted scroll sometimes called China’s Mona Lisa, has been brought to life digitally before, but AI is taking it to another level 👏
AIが復元した「清明上河図」に言葉を失う。確かに、AI特有の「滑らかすぎる質感」に違和感を覚える瞬間もある。だが、張択端が描こうとした千年前の喧騒が、圧倒的な解像度で迫ってくるのも事実だから、これは模写ではない。AIという異質なフィルターを通すことで、われわれは初めて「大宋」の熱気に触

Why not use the giant screen to scroll along the entire Tapestry from left to right?
The Tapestry looked wonderful on the giant screen in Piccadilly Circus. Imagine how good it will be close up! (Forgive the background hubbub).
@mike_matas I assume the ease transitions are shown here in 0.1x slo-mo. Otherwise any racing driver or fighter pilot (or even gamer) would be aghast at such meaningless, ornamental and disrespectful delays in a HMI.
@latinedisce “Ally. Look it u” — Learn Latin @latinedisce (Yes, really. Look it up.)
@GuyInFlight @LUDENClassics I remember it differently, that the pesky engineers had intentionally taken design decisions that made a V installation hard because they feared management demanding it take the Rover V8.

‘The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it.’ Tom Stoppard 1937 - 2025
@Athanasius_45 E.R. Dodds devotes several pages of “Pagan and Christian in an Age of Anxiety” to this theme, crediting the verse to Palladas
