  • These Are Words Scholars Should No Longer Use to Describe Slavery and the Civil War

  • Words have meaning

    It's incredibly sad that this has been turned into a meaningless phrase.

  • That's stupid bullshit and you know it. The Civil War was a war between one group of guys and another group of guys. We cannot use the same term to describe both groups of guys. The historical accounts would make no sense.

    And history has ALWAYS referred to rebels and insurrectionists by the name they give themselves, it's nothing unique to the Confederacy. Pretending it somehow "legitimizes" the Confederacy is pure bullshit dreamed up by someone who wants to puff up his "I am so very very woke" cred. It's a solution in search of a problem.

    What do we call George Washington's army? The same name they gave themselves, the Continental Army. What do we call Irish nationalists during the Troubles? The same name they gave themselves, the IRA. What do we call the militant Islamic fundamentalists who took over Afghanistan as the US pulled out? The same name they gave themselves, the Taliban.

    The fact that you think referring to a rebel group by the name they gave themselves has ANYTHING to do with ANY kind of narrative means you are being either disingenuous or ignorant.

    There are many, many ways to fight against bigots and racists nowadays. This is not one of them.

  • Historical revisionism is a goddamn plague and should be met with a firm slap to the face any time it's suggested, even if it's in favor of the side we agree with.

    I don't know what kind of fucking obsession gen Z has with labels, but you need to chill the fuck out about it. Calling the North "the United States" instead of "the Union" does absolutely fuckall to make anything better whatsoever, and it chips away at the foundations of historical accuracy.

  • Exactly. If I were her, I'd fuck off to Europe and send a big fat middle finger to everyone asking for help.

    Is that in the best interests of the American people? No. Is it an entirely understandable reaction? Yes.

  • A weird phrase is plaguing scientific papers – and we traced it back to a glitch in AI training data

    Jump

  • More salient takeaway is, don't use a LLM to translate a scientific paper. Because it can't translate a scientific paper. It can only rewrite the entire paper, in a different language. And it will introduce misunderstandings and hallucinations.
