“Apologies came back from the [AI-cheating] students, first in a trickle, then in a flood. The professors were initially moved by this acceptance of responsibility and contrition… until they realized that 80 percent of the apologies were almost identically worded and appeared to be generated by AI.” https://arstechnica.com/culture/2025/10/when-caught-cheating-in-college-dont-apologize-with-ai/

This is a sheet of unused turnpike tickets from an 18th century English toll road. Something like this is so completely unremarkable in its time that it almost never survives, but in this case it was used as wastepaper to fill out a binding, and then recently discovered inside. #NewAcquisition

I just hosted a showcase of our Syriac manuscript collection for a packed room of enthusiastic Syriac scholars, and the highlight was hearing one of them chant a bit of the service for Palm Sunday from this 12th century manuscript.

I’ve been playing Blue Prince all week so I keep wanting to check the prints on the wall for one-letter differences. #Monsterdon

I’m not sure “preposterous” is my first reaction to someone saying “I photograph the dead.” #Monsterdon

I feel like the last couple decades have conclusively refuted the idea you can galvanize people by showing them the horrifying acts committed in their name. #Monsterdon

PSA: I’m turning 55 next month, and there’s an issue with people who got vaccinated for measles around the same time I did as a kid having waning immunity. I got tested and it turned out I had no immunity, so I got revaccinated this week. Don’t listen to the science deniers: measles is not a trivial disease if you’re 5 or 55 and we can no longer rely on herd immunity.
