her backstory is littered with, uh, obvious lacunae where the explanation for how she got a particular story (including her first big story) involves a serious ethical violation

I tried to turn this into readable prose just now and found myself frustrated by all the bizarre word choices and logical lacunae also stuffed into the Sentence.
in case you think we are exaggerating, behold The Sentence

if people are aggressively anti learning stuff that's another thing entirely but each of us has a body of knowledge with lacunae we "should" know, if someone learns a fact and is excited, the good response is "yay!" or maybe "here's something i know directly related, isnt that cool?!"

It always struck me back in 2016 (and since) as the biggest lacunae in the elite press's understanding of Trump was his decade-long stint as an popular network TV star and what impact that had on the electorate.
Interesting context for the story from the former "Apprentice" producer: recent research shows how perceptions/viewership of the show helped Trump win the 2016 nomination.

Analysis | ‘The Apprentice’ and the creation of Leader Donald Trump
In 2024, Donald Trump no longer relies on his TV celebrity — and has warped reality so that he is no longer an exception.

Oh! New vocabulary word; Lacunae.
“Lacunae: intentional gaps or holes; deliberately omitted information that makes a world, system, or mechanic more intriguing by its omission”
I often fall back to calling this “negative space “ but it’s nice to have some more specific jargon.

This is exactly the wrong thing to say! Everybody has weird lacunae in their basic life skills and being afraid to admit it means being unable to get the missing skills.

Lacunae.
Every language has helper-words like “like” and “um”. It’s not imprecise, it’s context-specific. English doesn’t have official formal/informal, and languages naturally fill lacunae

omg, papyrologists, can y'all imagine AI trying to figure out lacunae?
Historian focusing on early modern book culture here. I am not sure that feeding a private company with all our past handwritings from archives is a solution or a way forward. Google‘s AI studio is a data trap. #skystorians
Gemini’s ability to read handwritten archival documents has importance beyond the humanities. It opens new frontiers for scientific research and collaboration with the humanities.
