Ugh! Could you manage some awkward crochet?

I have on saved celebrity pic, but yours couldn't be more perfect!

I’ve had the same problem. I was able to read for work but not for fun. But like you I’ve finally started reading again. Hoping that recent world events don’t destroy my renewed ability to read for fun.

A wonderful respite after staring in horror at my phone reading about the bleakness of it all. I laughed out loud. Thanks!

Happy Birthday!

And almost all humanities research as well as pretty much the only source for major grants in the humanities, as few as there are, is the NEH--and I assume they have also been hit with similar lists. You made a wise move all those years ago.

Would we know about Milton's copy of Shakespeare were it not for the hands-on archival work of scholars on different continents? What else would be lost to the bot's desire to reduce everything to the most likely answer?

Plus, archival research is fun. Why do we want to give up the joys of discovery by outsourcing the physical connection with the past that lies at the core of archival work? And what happens to the unexpected and often important discoveries that happen along the way?

I would be more impressed by the claim that AI makes a great historian if the documents "transcribed" by the bot weren't easily read by anyone with a basic knowledge of cursive. Come back to me when it can read the secretary hand of a member of the Elizabethan nobility.
