I mean, it's been two weeks, right?

Yes, I'm agreeing. It's a 100% no that he could have a conversation. Sorry.

100% no, because he lists both Xenophon and Juvenal among his favorite authors in the subsequent tweet.

I'd even prefer Tedious – he probably was! Read the Thebaid! – over something straight out of Monty Python's Life of Brian.

But I can and will never abide 'Tittius.' Tittius, Tittius, Tittius, all of books 5 and 6. You've actually GOT a long vowel in Τῡδεύς, and you're moving the accent over anyway, but you won't give me TieDAYus or TIEdius or TIEjus or any combination with Tee-?

But, surprise, I beef with some of the direction on name pronunciation. The intro comments harp on PaTROCKlus by a rationale that would give us SoFOCKles; a great many names have gratuitous long vowels which I know we blame the Brits for...

Okay, so I wouldn't say "Marxist" is a pyrrhic but too bad, it's in my head now:

I would not be surprised if its origin lies in Elon attempting to one-up (in level of obscurity) Zuckerberg's fascination and identification with Augustus.

I nearly had to read it out loud to even know whom it referred to.

And now I can tag @actualbenfolds.bsky.social, whose song is oh so applicable.
"I don't wanna do this no more," to quote another from the same album.

I only regret that I have but one follow to give.
