      This is just to say
I have looked on
the works
that were in
the desert
and which
you were probably
thinking
would still stand
Forgive me
they were trunkless
so vast
and so old

      Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
  As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy

      They fuck you up, your King of Kings.
They may not mean to but they do.
They leave you trunkless legs of stone,
And add some visage, just for you.

      Whose land this is I do not know
The statue fell down long ago;
No one will mind me stopping here
To watch the sand o’er ruins blow.
My camel friend must think it queer
To rest with no oasis near
And precious little shade these days
Gives Ozymandias, I fear.

      I heard there stood two legs of stone,
Honoring his works unkown,
But you dont care for statues standing trunkless.
Well it goes like this stamped on lifeless things,
Final words of the King of Kings,
The mighty ruler Ozymandias.
Ozymandias...
Ozymandias..

      Which reminds me of this old classic on the Noise Miners.
“'Noise mining is a funny thing,' he said. 'When you first see a bit of noise, it doesn’t look so impressive. But as you work it out of the rock, it gets more and more refined.' This process, he explained, is called 'shucking.'"

      Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.
    
  
      Economics does the same, but they have established quite wide-ranging evidence that doing so creates "alphabetic discrimination" in which there are career and publication advantages to those with names at the start of the alphabet. See, eg: dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn...
    
      
        The Effects of Listing Authors in Alphabetical Order: A Review of the Empirical Evidence
          Each time researchers jointly write an article, a decision must be made about the order in which the authors are listed. There are two main norms for doing so.
