This week on the blog: Hoplites! We're taking a crack at explaining the long-running debate over the nature and significance of the ancient Greek heavy infantryman, the hoplite, and the phalanx in which he (mostly) fought.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Amazing, they built a blasphemy machine.
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

Our landscape and ecosystem has been severely damaged for generations and the process by which it occurs is encouraged and subsidised by the State and the EU, initially to meet self-sufficiency needs, but now in the main because of export profitability. A country as an open air cow factory.

A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments.

A lotta stuff seems to have happened „just like that” in the #LifeintheUK test handbook. Classes „appeared” and suddenly owned lots of land, Britain „grew” & „became” the „largest empire ever seen” and working conditions „gradually improved” - a history full of miracles, no violence, no struggles

After reading further it's a foreign property group, not one person, which does not make it any better, but like, how are the government, in the midst of a housing crisis, allowing investors from other countries buy up whole communities and ruin lives en masse like this?
Hmm this landlord that owns 14 houses is evicting his tenants. Guess he needs another tax break, obviously he doesn't feel secure enough 🙄
On Kerry Today with @jerosullivanrk.bsky.social -
- 34 people, including 15 children living in a Killarney housing estate, face homelessness as their landlord begins a mass eviction process.
- 14 households have received termination notices.
