We need a Swiss Guard themed buddy cop show about the Pope trying to get tough on crime

I’ve got two PhD scholarships for domestic students at Macquarie University. Topics must be related to Greek myth in contexts of communal crisis in antiquity. Always happy to chat about ideas! www.mq.edu.au/research/phd...

Paying for NYT Connections is basically paying someone to troll you. I do not know why I play this game so consistently when I get annoyed by it even when I win.

Words to live by from an underappreciated leader. #AncientHistory

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

What JD Vance really means by this is that Maduro is bound by US laws but Trump is not.

Autodesk Fusion is completely bizarre and inscrutable until you understand the internal logic of the program and then suddenly you realize it is packed full of quality of life shortcuts created by thoughtful software engineers.

This is like Mr Rogers picking up Mjolnir

If after we blow your boat up you still float, you are a witch, so we can kill you. If you drown you are not a witch.

How did I miss the news about the Frankfurt Silver Inscription??? Someone mentioned it vaguely at SBL and I somehow hadn't heard. Very interesting journal article out recently that evaluates some NT TC issues in passing.

I think a lot of our fears about AI and the creative arts (I have them too) might also kind of be about society in general, specifically whether the masses are as happy with low grade slop as we fear they will be and what that says about hope for a better future.

James Bond supervillains threaten to blow up the world with their big laser unless you pay them a trillion dollars.

Real American supervillains embed themselves in the economy and threaten to cause a depression unless you subsidize their sex robots and the weird chatbots they use to avoid humans.

Last Starfighter reboot franchise

Your element got a nice shout out in the session I presented in.
