I guess it´s a bit of entertaining knowing that my life is someone else´s hell or personal worst case scenario. I rather enjoy it, though.

Hello, I'm a historian in a film. I study ancient celebrity secrets & lost treasure. I teach at a university but that's no impediment to me rushing off to another continent on no notice. All my info comes from discovering a mysterious document or inscription, whose translation is 100% unambiguous.
Hello, I'm an author in a film. I will be seen doing anything but writing a book, because typing is boring. Then I will have a 30-second montage of clicking away at a keyboard, I will hand a ream of paper to my editor who will declare it to be genius and a week later I will be atop the NYT list.
Hello, I'm an attorney in a film. I have a pure and perfect knowledge of every area of practice in every jurisdiction. Nevertheless, I will be corrected by a plucky law school grad who just passed the bar. After some stubborn resistance, I will silently nod and take her under my wing.

For reasons completely due to my own irrational cultural bias, I often find myself grumbling internally when I come across editorializing in Spanish articles (e.g. " El género, una teoría inagotable," or "LOPE DE VEGA Y LA MUSICA DE LA PALABRA")

In this Ohio diner, Texas Flood still means a Stevie Ray Vaughan album. But they do know this: The tragedy along the Guadalupe River was not caused by climate change; it was caused by DEI.

Whether it's Republicans behaving like autocrats or Democrats pointing out that Republicans are behaving like autocrats, both parties have contributed to the sense that America is backsliding into autocracy.

In classic Republican fashion—they've found a way to make their "Big Beautiful Bill" even worse.
More cuts to health care.
More money added to the debt.
More Americans suffer.

Five solid stanzas on the medical practices of the aboriginal canaries in the middle of an epic poem (La Conquista de Tenerife) very much embodies the weirdness that I love about Medieval and Early modern literature

It is some how better to tell the poor to work harder so they can afford healthcare than to tell the rich to work harder to make up for what they pay in taxes.

How long until “ojalá” is taken to mean support for Hamas because it’s just the Spanish transliteration of إن شاء الل

If you can separate your brain from the cost in human lives, the basic idea of "regime change has never worked for the US before, but i know I'll be the one to crack it" is a bit funny...

If you take a rat and put a wire into the pleasure center of its brain and then hit it with electrical current, it will orgasm uncontrollably until the creature dies of exhaustion.

Oh, nothing. Just thinking about John Bolton when he heard the news we were bombing Iran.

Bartolomé de las Casas is, of course, a great human for condemning slavery and arguing for universal human rights in the 1500s, but a close second is how good he is at citing his sources...
