Was going to do a little work today but after mistyping stuff in several emails (like “shure” for “sure”) I think I need to allow another day to recover before going back to the editing

A major under-covered story.
Five years have passed since Myanmar’s military staged a coup against the government.

The junta’s impunity needs to end.

@adobe.com has made a useful product less useful with an annoying and redundant feature

The author has moved on to b. Avodah Zara 4b, in which the rabbis discuss why God might be snippy at the start of the day, as all the gentiles are waking up and committing idolatry with the sun.

The pros of indexing a highly technical but repetitive manuscript: being able to mass batch entries across whole chapters or even the whole manuscript
Cons: keeping track of which intersecting and overlapping categories I have and haven’t done

Recalling what a deeply human process it is to create a truly useful book index — not replicable by any automated or AI system, as it requires a theory of mind, a deep understanding of the audience & their likely needs, preferred search-terms, and points of confusion.
