If Germans own #Hitler - and we obviously do - then Americans definitely own #Trump .
Saying: "I didn't vote for him!" Is no longer enough. Now the question is: "Do you comply, or do you resist?"
The Germans who grew up after WWII also asked these questions to the generations of their parents and grandparents... and the latter often failed to have good answers.
Looks like I'm getting into the badge making business. I'm getting a badge maker, just so I can make some Night Gardener, Outie, Innie and other silly Severance things I can design and print, since it's woefully under represented out there.
Anyway, went to the beach, had breakfast whilst listening to the radio in the car - Jonathan was braver in the cold 🌞 and bought stuff at Morrisons and now home.
I has cake for later and an individual mandarin trifle with a tuna crunch sub for lunch. Ooh yeah =)

Excited to teach Digital Research Toolkit for the Humanities again this summer!
This course introduces students to essential tools for transparent, scalable, and efficient research workflows. Right now, the course covers:
📂 File organization & research workflows
💻 R & scripting for data processing
📊 Data visualization & reporting
🔍 Literature research & documentation
🔗 Git, GitHub & collaboration
🚨 BUT before I finalize the syllabus, I’d love to hear from YOU! 🚨
💡 What tools, workflows, or topics do you wish you had learned earlier in your research journey?
💡Are there essential skills for humanities students entering industry or academia that I should add?
💡 Should I introduce LLMs and AI tools for tasks like automating text analysis, literature reviews, or data preprocessing?
💡 Should I make space for regular expressions?
💡 I’m considering dropping LaTeX in favor of Markdown, Quarto, and plain text editors in general. Is this a step backwards?
The course is open source:
🔗 github.com/a-nap/Digital-Resea…
I will be updating it every week with slides, code, and homework assignments.

A sword is strapped to her back. She is holding a small pink flower in her hand. The background is a blurred forest with blue hues. There are small yellow lights scattered throughout the image.

Niles is absolutely jazz. Old Jazz played from a scratched-to-hell CD through an automotive radio that, by rights, should not be trusted with your eardrums.
