Studio execs are going to want to adapt more poems for the big screen now

Loebs (on the Latin side which is all I know) are mostly just worse scholars using newer language with less apparatus.

ok, can't think of anyone left unoffended, logging off

SA taking a tern for the worse this is a terrible birdflu joke

I have been programming for more than 40 years, which, huh. Anyway, yeah I'm now doing the agentic, as someone who used to be into the AesTheTiC and honestly.. it's good? 🧵 [disclaimer: if you're "never AI" I feel u, but I'm not interested in your responses because I know them all]

The school for poetic communication looks amazing #dh this is the kind of thing I love https://sfpc.study/

School for Poetic Computation

The School for Poetic Computation is an experimental school in New York City supporting interdisciplinary study in art, code, hardware and critical theory. It's a place for learning and unlearning.

Frankly, I think the best thing to come out of this movie is the possibility of drag performances referencing Homeric works and the high likelihood of someone using the name Gagamemnon.

This is the fourth time I have made roast pork following www.recipetineats.com/pork-shoulde... and she is right, it really never misses. TL;DR prop up on cut onions, wine in pan, 2.5 hours at 140 fan, 30 mins at 250, rotating the pan. The gravy is the stuff of song and story.

To be fair, a good Medea movie would be great. A good way to show that Jason is the bad guy in the story. I could see Pattinson playing Jason. I basically want an actor I want to hate and Pattinson is good at that. Cotillard as Medea ? Greta Gerwig as director ?

But I would watch the hell out of a series of courtroom comedy-dramas, each one based around Cicero’s speeches

I never really thought about Mr Snuffleupagus etymologically until today, but OE has 'snofl' = 'phlegm, mucus' and pagus is obviously from A.Gk φάγος = 'eater' Anyway I still have a sniffle and it is annoying me is what I'm saying

Very lucky and grateful to present this paper in Daejeon at #DH2026 with @tonyamart.bsky.social — if you’re wondering what the queen of pop herself is doing on the slide, we also have posterior predictions over her song lyrics and her poetry book!

Bret Beheim@babeheim.bsky.social · 7d ago

@artjomshl.bsky.social and @tonyamart.bsky.social compare the evolutionary dynamics of poetry and lyrics over the last few centuries #dh2026

It’s the first paper in a themed issue on computational poetics we’re co-editing with @nmhouston.bsky.social for CHR journal! Lucky to have this contribution from Erin

Apparently there’s some kind of revival of interest in Homer which reminds me I saw him live in Thrace in 790BC I bet most of these posers can’t even name three of his epics

To my colleagues in #Classics teaching in English: A PhD student of mine is searching for English-language summer schools to improve their basic Latin skills, within the EU, or good online resources or books to improve their Latin on their own. Any advice or experiences to share? #ClassicsBluesky

OK, I apologize. Nobody should make jokes at Cicero's expense. that would involve reading him. 🥁

I am shook by LRT. The possibilities are endless... but 99% bad? Livy Cinematic Universe 🤔 Tacitus Cinematic Universe 🤨 Suetonius Cinematic Universe 😳 Cicero Cinematic Universe 😱😱😱

SO TRUE! or just use Ovid and have it be 20x better ;)

There is SO MUCH good material in Classical antiquity. Just book 1 of Livy could be a seven-season Netflix drama, "The Kings of Rome". Shakespeare wrote Coriolanus out of like four pages of Livy. There's a whole Livy Cinematic Universe there for the taking.
