Some may know that I mostly write about Procopius and Agathias, but here is a review essay I wrote for Histos on another of my favourite sixth-century authors John Malalas: histos.org/index.php/hi....

I love Halloween...but a bit sad this year since I'm down to one child for trick-or-treating

When they are playing well, like now, they can be a top 25 team along the same lines of Boise State that could make the college playoff, so not too low of a ceiling, especially when one considers the declining prestige of a program like UCLA which is struggling in the revamped 'Big 10'

This feels both unfair and unkind. Lee and Merle are brilliant scholars—even if I don’t agree with all of their positions on the Bubonic Plague, I certainly don’t begrudge them a grant. We should all take a step back and consider that what we say here can have real consequences for others.

Devastating news about Dennis. As a tribute here is a link to his magisterial piece: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

No, its Dorothea Schaefter, though Michael's editing my other one on marriage and alliance

Yes, it was a thorough and positive review...though I suspect there was a slight dig at me in his discussion of Rozycki's chapter!

Interesting, considering our differences over methodology, that Rance echoes many of my thoughts found in my original review of an earlier version of the manuscript....

It occurred to me that MAGA isn’t actually a nostalgia for Greatness, rather a longing for American Exceptionalism. They are mad that the rest of the world has good movies & good music & technology too. They want it to be like the 50’s: cool Americans vs. the miserable rest!

They hate our freedoms!
