I donโ€™t think there is ever a great time for humanity to turn our future over to a set of intelligent machines, but I know that doing so while the globe is dominated by an Epstein Class of anti-human fascists is definitely the worst time.

I know, it seems like that, and then you're doing research projects without a full-service academic library, as I do, and the number of times you think "I really have to get to the University of X library" is very high!

Just like the book will never die, radio will never die.

WORD FACT

A โ€œpsithurismโ€ is the sound of a treeโ€™s rustling leaves. It comes from Greek โ€œpsithurรญzลโ€ (ฯˆฮนฮธฯ…ฯฮฏฮถฯ‰), which means โ€œI whisperโ€.

Sorry, I mean set your clocks forward to 53 BCE for the Parthian campaign with Crassus!

And to you as well, David! Time to set your clock back to 499 BCE for the Ionian Revolt!

This spring, we set our clocks back to 499 BCE for the Ionian Revolt against Persian hegemony in Asia Minor.

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They donโ€™t know why they got into this war. Theyโ€™re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they donโ€™t know how theyโ€™re getting out.

The picture shows two dolls with movable shoulders, elbows, hips and knee joints. The legs of both dolls are partially broken off. One doll's arm is almost completely missing. The limbs and torso are very long, the breasts small. The faces are largely destroyed. The hair is combed back behind the ears, reaching down to the shoulders at the nape. The ivory, which is actually white, has turned brown over time.

Beloved #toys: a pair of #Roman ivory #dolls with articulated arms and legs found in a tomb of a little #girl from a wealthy family in Emona, Ljubljana/Slovenia.

The majority of the dolls in Roman times were made of less valuable materials such as clay, wood or linen. ๐Ÿงต1/2

WORD FACT

Greek โ€œdrameinโ€ (โ€œto runโ€) and the related noun โ€œdromosโ€ (โ€œrunning, racecourseโ€) ultimately give us:

Hippodrome โ†’ A racecourse for chariots (โ€œHippo-โ€ = horse)

Dromedary โ†’ via Greek โ€œdromas kamelosโ€ (โ€œrunning camelโ€) and Late Latin โ€œdromedariusโ€

Indicted. Convicted. In Charge. How Did the World End Up in the Hands of Men Courts Have Already Judged? Three of the most powerful leaders shaping this weekโ€™s headlines have one thing in common, and itโ€™s not what youโ€™d expect.

Because law alone was never meant to carry the full weight of justice. People have to care. Communities have to pay attention. And we have to stop normalizing what should never feel normal.

In a courtroom, consequences follow findings. In the wider world, power often outruns accountability entirely. The same legal systems that hold everyday people to account can struggle to reach the people whose decisions cause the greatest harm.
