לֹא מָצָאתִי מְרִיבָה שֶׁיִּשְׂמְחוּ עָלֶיהָ בְּיוֹשֶׁר וֶאֱמֶת כִּמְרִיבַת שְׁנֵי הַמְּשׁוֹרְרִים

I have not found a controversy in which people could take such sincere and true joy as the clash between two poets.

—Jedaiah ha-Penini (ca. 1270–ca. 1340), Sefer ha-Pardes (The Book of the Orchard), 8:28–29

Ways you know #UChicago is a special kind of different place:

The chalkboard in your classroom at The Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures contains Classical Hebrew attestations of לשאת alongside playful hyroglyphs tucked around equations for diagonal matrices. Y'know, Tuesday.

You swing by a friend's office as a favor, and you get some free Kraft Mac & Cheese on the walk home. Just another day in the neighborhood. #InTheLoop #Chicago

When selecting costumes, the biggest little fans of the @chicagocta.bsky.social asked to dress as 'L' directional signs for two of their favorite lines.

And, yes, they're both Loop-bound trains according to the back.

The @pirates.com hold the longest active win streak—shutting out both the Mets and Cardinals—and haven't allowed a run in 31 innings.

Celebrate accomplishments.

Today, the @pirates.com became the first team in over a century to win four straight games by scoring seven or more runs while allowing two or fewer each outing. The last team to achieve that feat? The 1911 Pirates.

Over the past two days, the #Pittsburgh @pirates.com have scored 19 unanswered runs and won their second consecutive series. Take the wins. #RaiseIt

I want to live in a 2025 in which streaming services feature the 1994 live-action animated classic The Pagemaster. I'm not saying it's the most important thing we need right now. I am saying it'd be an inestimable catharsis and an indication of how much better we're doing than we would be otherwise.

Please buy our home! We're staying in the neighborhood. Our growing children just need a little more room.

What better way to celebrate the inauguration of the Rev. Dr. @maishaprez.bsky.social as President of @mccormickseminary.bsky.social than processing astride my friend and colleague, the Rev. Dr. Joy J. Moore, President of Northern Seminary? Golly, today has been special.

On Friday, I had the honor to share my research on "Dirty Words in the Book of Job: Excavating a Poetic Vocabulary of Divine Participation" with the Wesleyan Theological Society at Baylor University's Truett Theological Seminary.

Yesterday, after presenting to the Wesleyan Theological Society at Truett Seminary on "Interdependence as Participation: An Eccelesiology of District Administration," Charles Perabeau and I made a pilgrimage to Pilot Point, TX—site of the 2nd General Assembly of the Church of the Nazarene in 1908.
