Hey (medieval) archaeologists, can you identify the ruins on this album cover? Reminds me of one of many Cistercian abbey ruins I've seen in Britain.

Personally struggling coming to terms with the various AI policies that I've seen in my courses over the past year. I'm relieved to see some, sad to see others. All I know is that I won't be touching any of it.

As we bear witness to the seismic changes in federal governance and public technology, this project could not be more timely. See š§µ below. Two founding members of the US Digital Service (rebranded DOGE) have amassed an extensive oral history archive and timeline of the agencyās origins under Obama.

Historians Uncover New Evidence That Jesus Made Annoying Smacking Sound After Every Sip Of Wine
JERUSALEMāShedding new light on the religious leaderās personal life, historians announced the discovery of new evidence Friday that suggests Jesus Christ made an annoying smacking sound after every sip of wine. āWeāve recovered a portion of a previously unexamined ancient text that details Jesus of Nazareth blessing some wine, taking a ceremonial swig from the goblet, and then making a loud tongue-clicking sound with His mouth,ā biblical scholar Fatima Harisi said of the contents of a tattered Aramaic scroll, which was likely used as a source text for the New Testament and which describes all 12 apostles cringing and rolling their eyes at one another when Christ engaged in the behavior. āWhile there is some speculation as to whether the Son of God had chronic dry mouth or whether this was just how He involuntarily expressed a feeling of refreshment, the text clearly implies that it happened all the time, mentioning that His followers often became distracted during Jesusā lectures once they noticed the aggravating tick. Rarely have we seen a personality trait of Jesus Himself rendered in such meticulous detail, with one passage including a hand-marked tally of how many times He did it over the course of a single dinner. The text also states that Jesus followed the lip-smacking with an emphatic moan that was āas unsettling as it was irritating,ā but still āslightly less infuriatingā than when He gargled it.ā Harisi went on to read several additional passages that detail complaints about Jesus āshaking the whole goddamn tableā by constantly jiggling His leg.

Brilliant, incisive critique by an actual Severan historian, and how the actual history would have made a better movie than the tropified disaster we were given.
