As the school year winds down each year I have lots of ideas about why I want to do with my students the next school year…

But when it comes to sitting down to do the work to implement them I just crumple into a puddle and, like a toddler, yell “ I don’t wanna!”

One of my favorite episodes of the show.

Thanks for the essay!

That’s it, I am hereby asking for fewer Latin-class-related current events to happen.

I’d like to request news stories give me more archaeology finds and fewer “trying to recapture the aesthetic of imperialism”.

My first and only console. Such a pity it had to come out right around the PlayStation.

I already got one. From a dude outside my state.

This episode is so in line with how I view both the original series, and many early seasons of TNG.

It’s not a serious morality play, it’s camp. And those were basically the two kinds of episodes of Star Trek for the longest time.

I would both love more reviews on my Martial reader, but am also terrified each time I see there is one.

Metatron and Shoeonhead. Giving academia a run for its money.

Simply amazing.

Of all the channels to cite when supporting your premise that YouTube has legitimate and professional historians and scholars, you could hardly have picked a finer pair.

Brilliant.

I’d also add that reviews help so much for online purchases.

If you buy art (or anything really) made by a small business or an individual, please review it!

I believe it will be retired soon in case you end up waiting and missing it.

I love to hear this. I just heard about you and clicked over to see your game. It’s not really what I’m normally looking for in a game, but you’ve earned yourself a sale and I’m gonna give it a shot: I love this thread and the story about the naming coincidence.

Continued best of luck to you!

Yes, I teach high school Latin, and this is what I tell my students. English is a dramatic language, and shares much more with German grammar than it does with Latin.

The fact that 60% or so of English vocabulary comes from Latin is due to the Norman invasion in the 11th century.

I’ve bought the book already! Just waiting for the semester to do down to have time to dive into it.

Look forward to listening to the interview.

It's been about six months, and it's almost my birthday, so I'll re-mention my commentary on some of Martial's epigrams. If you are a Latin instructor or student and would love to read some of Rome's funniest short poems in Latin, please give it a look/review.

Absolutely great show: great writing, casting/acting, set design (for the 90s). So good.

Pay attention to Londo’s coat through the seasons!

The headline is eight words too long. Way too many qualifiers.

My first console!

And it was quickly decimated by the PS1, and it’s a big reason I never got into console gaming and just stuck to PC. If the Saturn had done well I might have moved to consoles as more came out. I loved my game gear growing up.

Off from school due to a storm, so it's time to sit down with my newly arrived "Martial's Rome: Empire and the Ideology of Epigram" by Prof. Victoria Rimell both for pleasure and research into my next reader!

I loved that show.

The plot/narrative was, of course, fast and loose, but the world, sets, etc was great.

Oh it’s a gem. And Connery did it AFTER Bond.

Our household is all EV but we still feel the pain. Trucking is the number one way things are shipped in this country, so higher prices will abound for me, even without a gas car.

But even if I was immune myself, I’d lament the pain for others. We def need to move away from fossil fuels.

I’m not sure if already know this, but his jacket changes colors throughout the show, starting purple, getting darker, and then black. It’s a neat way to visually represent his arc.

Agree. I don’t like a bunch of media, but seeking an audience to hear me say which things and why seems unnecessary.

This seems a much better approach than creating a system where ppl don’t need to worry about the costs of future treatments.

It’s also fine to not like something without telling everyone unless asked.

No need to enter spaces of praise and joy to ruin it.
