it would be transcendent to be like, excavating a site to build a thing, and lo, there appears a fragment of Laudatio Turia all like "you can't imagine the things this woman could do with a budget spreadsheet"

over the years it got broken down so the stone could be repurposed elsewhere, so historians have been finding bits and pieces of it scattered all around. like one little bit in a church wall. one little bit to cover a ditch. just a bunch of little Wife Guy fragments all over Rome.

my favorite historical wife guy is the Laudatio Turia guy, who constructed a giant stone monument on which he had carved a lengthy narrative about how hot and brave and politically savvy and good at weaving his wife was.

i think a lot of well-meaning people fall into a rhetorical trap where they take the bait and argue about male vs. female performance in sports rather than arguing for the value and dignity of women’s athletics generally. don’t let yourself be dragged into a bad faith framing.

the best HS teams in the country have multiple guys who will be in the NBA in a couple of years. they aren't normal high schools, they're basketball factories. but this literally doesn't matter. the value of women's sports isn't contingent on their performance vis a vis men.

Goo morning, monsters. There’s nothing wrong with slow. Sliming, stretching, splorping, endurance can cover distance just as easily as a sprint. And those frantic runners need to rest sometimes, to recover and replenish. Keep creeping along. When they sleep, slow suddenly becomes so terribly fast.

This plane landed in Myanmar about three hours ago. This is the third ICE flight to Myanmar this year. Burmese deportees in 2025 were immediately sent to a torture facility next to the airport, according to Myanmar Now. Weeks later, not all of them had emerged.

This likely ICE flight operated by Journey Aviation has taken off and appears to heading for an Asia removal. In May, this aircraft deported people to Myanmar.

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
