So the Greek word “eidenei” means “to know” and I’d have bet my bottom dollar it was related to Hebrew’s “Adonai” meaning “my lord”, as the lord seems like a figure who would know some stuff. But no, Adonai is from a Canaanite language. So yeah. I don’t know shit about #etymology. Going to bed.

New to BlueSky. Are there unspoken rules for how to engage on here? post genuinely? follow random accounts for self promotion? Outrage posts all day? If I reply to you more than once and you don’t reply back, move on?

…Wut? These are decaffeinated coffee crystals. You lied to me!

don't want to drown in outrage, but here's a bit of catharsis.

Character limits seem to attract reactions and half-formed thoughts.

I’d love to see examples of short posts that do a good job of capturing something like mildly complex.

rn we fear rising costs, inadequate health care, and families destroyed by illegal deportations. But remember when people were really spooked by plastic tupperware? I’m taking the stance that you should feel free to use your plastic tupperware again. Even go and put that ish in the microwave

About to watch season finale of #Pluribus. So this whole thing is a metaphor for #AI, right? Like the joined synthesize all human knowledge but are unable to explain how any given decision is made. Zosia is Carol's personalized AI assistant, etc.
