imagine fire is the most terrifying thing you can think of bc if it burns your corpse, your soul is permanently deleted from the afterlife but it’s also a war crime you cavalierly threaten against other city-states you’re warring with and then go thru with after defeating them. beast mode, honestly

hi all. I'd really appreciate it if you listened to, shared, and perhaps even left a (good?) review of my podcast. the point is to highlight the amazing work in medieval studies being done right here in the US, as well as how the medieval continues to haunt modern America --> AmericanMedieval.com

Sorry but the OP is so funny. "Oh you hate AI? Well what if all these things that suck and burn natural resources, and that also stole from you, which you have never used even once went away?" What point is this meant to prove?
Alexander Glass@alexanderglass.bsky.social · 20h agoI have one answer.
📢PROJECT UPDATE📢 You may have seen the news that the University of Exeter, home of the wills project, has placed 500 academics at risk of redundancy. The project leader Prof. Jane Whittle & project co-investigator Dr Laura Sangha are both at risk, alongside almost all of the History department. 1/

*visibly sweating trying to come up with a post in response to this* Um, the marker pens in unis are the community dick of the higher educational system.
Justin Hancock@justinhancock.bsky.social · 2d agoIt says something about pedagogy that finding a working marker pen at an educational establishment is getting impossible nowadays. So I bought these from the nearby supermarket and they were a lifesaver today. My girlfriend is going to repost this later with something amusing about trash boyfriends

Lee Hurley@hleehurley.com · 2d agoThe GCs are uniting in their grief over Rod Liddle's death, a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend and said he couldn't be a teacher because he'd rape the kids. He was also a vicious racist, long before it was so profitable. He hated trans people, so, to these 'feminists' he's a hero.
My BF: found alive, kind, and in Amsterdam with me, his age appropriate GF. Rod Liddle: dead. Remembered for writing that column saying how much he would like to nonce. What can you say but LMAO?
Justin Hancock@justinhancock.bsky.social · 3d agoRod Liddle once called me "creepy and pornographic" in his column in The Spectator. Sad for his loved ones, but not sad he has gone. RIP (P not standing for peace here)

This is being done without tribal or expert input and the public comment time is incredibly, and cowardly short. Please comment to help try and save Chaco. www.koat.com/article/chac...

If you’re ever wondering whether person (x) is reasonable or whether they’re just a hooting wingnut crackpot, then I have always found “do they have serious, very aggro beef with Amnesty International” is one of the best indicators.
