Historian and archaeologist working on the Mediterranean. Used to pretend, badly, to be a dead base ball player. Not sure why I’m here now except I missed people from the old place.
I do a lot of this when I think about the Museum of Science and Industry

Some long for peace or a restored earth but I pine for the day when the most I knew about a sports announcer was they used fun GRE words when describing a massive power dunk.

“each university will now be required to feed syllabi and course details into a database, which will then be examined by artificial intelligence for content not aligned with approved syllabi.”

This is one of the ones I’ve never rewatched and have been afraid to see again in case that chips away at how much I love it. It holds up?

LORD CHUDLEY-SMYTHE, eminent Oxford historian: my dear boy, if one considers the context of these eras, your facile comparison fails on multiple levels.

Yeah exactly this. It’s been wild working at a university and seeing this shit creep in and knowing it is a deliberately planned thing that was breathlessly reported on as if true.

I do too, very much. Looking this up now, and I so appreciate you mentioning it.
