Am I the only one who gets a real kick out of citation chains? Reading people's writing and footnotes, and making assessments and notes, finding the sources in the footnotes and reading them yourself, and making more notes?
I...love it?

Not for academics it isn’t. You learn by reading and by following citation chains and talking to other people in the field. Letting the AI do the summary is abdicating your job.

This guy reads footnotes
Reading "A City on Mars" by @zachweinersmith.bsky.social and @weinersmith.bsky.social and got to the bit about space food.
The description of what was created by Sidney Schwartz (a brown slab that could be cut with a bandsaw or drilled) sounds suspiciously like Pratchett's dwarf bread. And as tasty.

Anyway I must not have read all the footnotes in the Harpers letter, huh
As is the case with Musk, and even Trump, the most grotesque part is not their existence — awful people have always been around and always will be. The most grotesque part is nominally smart or honest or decent people taken in by them. Or, at least, pretending to be taken in, for advantage.
