2026 Frank Sinatra: Stop spreading the news

JESUS WAS UNVACCINATED EVERYBODY

not the main point, but we should note how Americans (and Europeans before them) thought that the boundaries between modernity and premodernity are porous - how we can, by our actions, replace place with time

Most people don’t know this but this is actually what they gave Socrates to drink

Screen shot of google results reading "People also ask: What personality disorder did Jesus have? Who is Satanas?"

Googling the incipit to a random Wycliffite tract to try and get more than the 19th century cataloguers are giving me, and getting some truly off-the-wall follow-up questions

Two Working LEGO Printing Presses | LEGO® Ideas The development of mechanical printing changed how ideas move through the world. Once text and images could be printed rather than copied by hand, knowledge was…

Hi #EarlyModern Bluesky - did you know that someone brilliant has built working printing presses using Lego and they are trying to get enough supporters so that Lego will release it as a kit?

They look so cool!

Did they move the button or am I exceptionally maladroit today?

I keep accidentally saving things, sorry if I do that to you, I don’t mean anything by it

This Gatsby reboot sucks

I am not coping very well with how stupid the markets are

It is extremely stupid. However, it reflects a deeper problem imo - the sheer certainty among the public that greater state capacity or greater infrastructural development will never actually benefit them, while tax cuts or direct handouts provide immediate financial benefit.

It’s probably literally knowable what Edmund Burke thought about coffee orders given the coffee house culture of the 18th century, right?

However you feel about the College Board and Accreditors, I think it’s worth observing that Heritage and the Claremont crew are going after them now. I wouldn’t say they’ve moved beyond institutions, but they’re also looking points of leverage to control the whole system.

can't help but notice whose losses are expressed in dollars and whose losses are expressed in lives

I’m just saying, if it was long feared then shouldn’t responsible parties have taken steps to, you know, prevent it instead of enabling a madman to cause it?

Look, “are you surprised” is obviously very annoying on social media, but I am thinking that we need to figure out how to koolaid man into America’s boardrooms to pose the question to those who most deserve it

Truly!

Yes siree it’s a real mystery why whenever I can take an afternoon off I’m too tired to do anything but stare in the middle distance

Love too work 10 hours on a Sunday

This is how I feel after we “spring forward”

I miss the 321 Contact magazine

I just finished teaching Jo Walton’s The Just City, a book that I have come to have a significantly higher opinion of than I did when it first came out precisely because it takes this seriously. The students got a LOT out of talking about this aspect of the novel in relation to now.

I would like a different version of Hamnet where Agnes—devastated by grief—attends As You Like It and giggles the whole way through

Like 60% of working with people under 25 is reminding them that they are young and have time, and he instead creates a totally arbitrary pressured deadline for a sensitive, impressionable kid. Y I K E S !

I’m not saying anything that hasn’t been said, but Mr Keating is one irresponsible teacher
