Yes. Turnitin numbers don't mean much. For one thing it will sometimes flag properly quoted material.

(What Turnitin will also do is give you possible sources for the text, and you can follow up and check those.)

FWIW I doubt a U.S. grad school would worry much about an MA thesis done elsewhere.

@DeliaChristina What power does the DNC have here?

Since Bill Ackman and his followers have so many questions about how Wikipedia works now that his wife has been accused of plagiarizing from it, I figured I'd help him out.

Christmas greetings from #MartyTheDog and #MaxTheDog #dogsofmastodon

@skyguided @kayleeserenada@tech.lgbt Yep RePC is where I take stuff. A fun store too!

@dbellingradt @histodons I love medieval lions.

I keep finding out that several friends from here unfollowed me a while back without realizing it--or did I say something super obnoxious? I don't think so? At least no one is saying so. But at some point I realized all the people I normally hear from were silent and it was sad. Anyhow, if a few people boost this, that might help find The Missing Chums.

Update: That's plenty; thanks folks!

@MartyTheDog and @MaxTheDog celebrate their bath by wrestling all over the house. Marty is larger but Max is Max. @Bellingcat

@Benfell@hcommons.social @Viss Ten year rule, ha. I've cited 19th-century work on a number of occasions. I think I once cited Aristotle.

@MiriShuli @Pope Congratulations, Miriam, we're now having to argue on Bluesky that not everyone on Mastodon is as terrible as you are.

Shot in the dark here: did you, or anyone you know, work at the #Harvard Office of Information Technology (#OIT) circa 1997-98, AKA When Everyone Quit At Once over the summer? (Before or after the quitting is fine.)

If so... I have some questions which you are probably no longer legally enjoined from answering! 🤣

@kristenhg That's definitely the mealtime stare.

#MaxTheDog weighed eight pounds after adoption in January; now a sleek ten. Still eating enthusiastically. #dogsofmastodon

@UlrikeHahn @harcel @gemimarc @maegul It's also easy to cadge a code here: look to #blueskyinvite or #bluesky_invite

I find the two almost disjunct. I'm committed to Mastodon and subscribing to its patreons. It's earnest and quirky and, yes, better for science. OTOH Bluesky, being all on one server, has the advantage for jokes and buzz. It has that quicksilver, large-conversation quality.

@harcel @UlrikeHahn @gemimarc @maegul I've been contributing my Bluesky codes to "BlueSky Invites for Scientists, Researchers, and Clinicians" (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdYI6kGH9Ez75pq1EtkpqWLiuAhmpFekH0utRMB4MHQvF-fbg/viewform) which seems to recycle them effectively.

Engineering professor and materials scientist @debcha's new book *How Infrastructure Works* is a hopeful, lyrical - even beautiful - hymn to the systems of mutual aid we embed in our material world, from sewers to roads to the power grid. It's a book that will make you see the world in a different way - forever:
