“... Greenwich Village intellectuals of the 1930s the two views were held to be incompatible. An anonymous writer in the New Masses jeered at ‘the sex phobia of this six-year-old Proust’ and wondered why ‘so many young writers drawn from the proletariat can make no better use of their working-class experience than as material for introspective and ...”

“... it comes to the man: ‘I tried to think of Wieder. I tried to imagine him alone in his flat, an anonymous dwelling, as I pictured it, on the fourth floor of an empty eight-floor building, watching television or sitting in an armchair, drinking, as Romero’s shadow glided steadily towards him. I tried to imagine Carlos Wieder, but I couldn’t.’ The ...”

Instead, they wrote, an LLM is a ‘stochastic parrot … haphazardly stitching together sequences of linguistic forms it has observed in ...”

The Trojan Horse​ scandal began late in 2013 when an anonymous letter was sent to the leader of Birmingham City Council and he passed it on to the police and the DfE. Four pages were attached to the letter, purporting to be instructions sent to a ‘brother’ in Bradford on how to infiltrate the governing bodies ...”

As an anonymous queer man explained to the Evening Standard in 1964, ‘fifteen years ago, almost anyone wearing tight trousers … was probably gay.

“... as with a new intensity to define modern experience, undated and unlocalised. These poems are both anonymous and individual. They are both easy and difficult. They are easy in the sense of their largeness, directness and human centrality. Any good modern anthology of love poetry will hold half a dozen of them, which have grown so familiar over the years as to ...”

“... for objection to an individual juror is apparent, both sides face judgment by 12 effectively anonymous individuals. We have never had, as the Americans have, a right to cross-question jurors-in-waiting in order to see whether there is cause for recusing them. But our random system brings its own problems. A juror may know the accused or a witness, or may ...”

“... there has also been an unconvincing attempt by Charles Hamilton to prove that it survives as the anonymous playscript known as The Second Maiden’s Tragedy, which is more sensbly attributed to Thomas Middleton. There is no sign that Theobald had any specific knowledge of the earlier Cardenio text, records of which re-emerged after his death. (He did know it ...”

“... In a song called ‘Help Me’, he sounds as if he’s finally crawled to a Narcotics Anonymous meeting: ‘With a humble heart, on bended knees, I’m begging you please: help me!’ Singers like Isaac Hayes (a Stax act, as it happens) had already shown that MOR balladry could be a many-splendoured trip, and with the best songs in the Stax ...”

Early in June several anonymous articles were published smearing Wang, claiming she had a criminal record and had served time for injuring a young policeman.

“... stations in the Los Angeles area, the first pressings of this epoch-making album were splendidly anonymous: a blank white gatefold cover containing two vinyl discs with blank white labels. This packaging gave the record a nickname that swiftly became its title, and soon the covers were adorned with a rough rubber-stamping that read: ‘Great White ...”

The polemic ‘I Hate Straights,’ for instance, written by Anonymous Queers (though their names appear in Let the Record Show), copies of which were distributed at Gay Pride in 1990, is the most intransigent statement of social rage associated with members of ACT UP. Yet it includes this passage: The next time some ...”
