This is happening BTW

NYT has suddenly decided that it cares about international law

Shame Jordan Peterson was killed by an all beef diet because we need him now more than ever to protect white people from Elmo

Give me the confidence of a guy who corrects Adrian Goldsworthy on something that is this open ended

They’re calling it the most surprising Persian victory since the Emperor Valerian was captured during the Battle of Edessa by Shapur I

Future historians are very lucky to know the official start date of the American Century of Humiliation

Liberal socialist woke Rome is coming as part of Woke 2 and Pope Leo is leading the charge

your holiness it is time to use your powers and send jd vance to hell

In two weeks the national press corps is going to laugh at his jokes and applaud him at their annual Hilton dinner for being a fun and interesting president to write about

Mfw I’m crushing it:

BBC journalism standards are as nonexistent for reporting on Muslims as they are for when they report on trans people

Just got a cool YouTube ad

Belief in the resurrection of Jesus is a cornerstone of the Christian faith, but did you know that the idea has deep roots in the Jewish tradition that informed the earliest Christians? This video details how the first Christians reinterpreted and reimagined Jewish beliefs youtu.be/qlqhfwvycyA

Shared this same post verbatim on YouTube and got what I think has to be my favorite comment of all time. I have to admit that I have been bested and I must concede that since the dawn of time millions, literally millions of people have been real at one point

Getting some work done this AM while listening to friend of the pod @curtisdozier.bsky.social talk about his latest book. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu8x...

Inventing a Time Machine so I can go back and explain to Jesus that in 2000 years the country with the largest number of his followers will commodify his death by making toy guns with eggs and bunny ears for the occasion

Jesus’ death by crucifixion is remarkably well attested, to the point that it forms 1 of the 2 concrete facts about him that historians universally acknowledge - learn more about why the case for the historical Jesus is crucial to a coherent approach to ancient history youtu.be/o5GdcSFiRq0?...

Hard to think of a more literal anti-Christ figure than Donald Trump who spends Easter morning promising death to innocents

When we talk about what the NYT is up to now, it’s actually helpful to be attentive to the fact that they have *always* done shit like this

you can acknowledge a guy existed without getting religious about it, as it turns out

By 146bce, I understand that Carthage was only a couple of weeks away from developing the first nuclear weapon.

Arsenal Football Club you are officially on fraud watch

If kids don't become proficient in AI now there's a real risk that they'll become proficient in actual tangible skills

Ensuring that all students are proficient in the use of Divining rods would be a better use of their resources

The crucifixion of Jesus is the most famous state execution in history, but he was not the only person Rome subjected to this excruciating punishment. This video (our most popular one by far) details how crucifixion was a tool of imperial domination and intimidation youtu.be/Emk21WbOFo0

The more you read the NYT, the less you will understand about the world

Really worrying development when even Trump (perhaps the least religious person to ever exist) begins invoking holy war language

One year ago since @drchristinah.bsky.social dropped this epic takedown.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Think that this guy’s crash out had more to do with frustration that he is making no headway trying to advance conservative talking points using liberal jargon than it did any “rude” feedback. 8k followers and precisely 0 likes on his pro-voter ID post lol

This guy’s temper tantrum is even funnier when you check his profile and see that he already tried turning himself into a martyr over his brave anti-DEI stance to absolutely no fanfare

“Young people”

Caesar, Augustus, Trajan… there’s no shortage of famous (and infamous) Romans. But every Easter we remember that one of the most well-known Romans ever was just a provincial governor who oversaw what he thought was an inconsequential trial of an itinerant preacher youtu.be/7zGY3CY3lzE

I don’t listen to Fearless Movement nearly as often as I should because it’s a quite lengthy double album and I can’t stop it once I start but each play is a treat. Highly recommend if you’re interested in very modern genre-defying jazz

Really dreading the 2028 cycle where 75% of the candidates and 100% of the media/professional chattering class will claim that asking candidates to take a position on anything beyond “I am not Donald Trump” is a divisive litmus test that we cannot afford

Someone do a wellness check on Tyler Cowen

I'm not a historian or whatever but is this seriously the first time a ruling class has dehumanized THEMSELVES like this lmao

I do truly believe that this man has no interior life

Dying empire embroiled in a quagmire of its own making attempts outlandish conquest to restore faith

Just got the first legit non spammy sponsorship offer from the channel that wasn’t for AI slop or a blatant scam and it was for a “traditional masculinity” supplements company lmao. Not opposed to selling out in principle but like come on please not right wing grift shit

What I wouldn’t give to know Trump’s inner monologue as he sat in the Supreme Court today and had to listen to people talk about not him

Cautiously optimistic based on live reports coming out but it looks like Trump overplayed his hand here and a court that is desperate to cling to legitimacy by pretending it doesn’t serve him had no choice but to trying looking independent as Trump put his thumb on the scale
