I remember the phrase "they can't be allowed to melt back into society" re: the de-Baathification of Iraq after the war there. Like everything about that experience, the attempt was cynical, stupid, and botched. But there really should be a plan about what we do with guys like these in the future.

The @theatlantic.com claims that Canadians will use "treachery" to make America and its media look "silly". No, we are a democratic people who hate thugs and their pusillanimous enablers. Deal with it.

And to all a good night and enjoy the fish.

COOPER: Harry, I know who did it. TRUMAN: Enlighten me. COOPER: Miss Scarlett. TRUMAN (smiling): In one ending, sure. But— COOPER: But in the second, it was Mrs. Peacock. TRUMAN: Ok, but— COOPER: In the third you'll find it was everyone save Mr. Green, an agent of the Bureau. TRUMAN: ... LUCY: Wow.

Here’s Gogol’s original text of Ночь Передъ Рождествомъ in pre-reform spelling from an 1873 edition, starting on p. 103 books.google.com/books/about/...

I suppose Norse Roots chips are really Nazi-coded. Here’s the Fascist-coded equivalent: ☑️ futurist aesthetic (polygons/sans-serif) ☑️ classical architecture (in silhouette) ☑️ Italian nationalist imagery (tricolor toppings) ☑️ only available to an elite few (limited edition) ☑️ asks for your papers

Is your snack time insufficiently fascist-coded? Try Norse Roots beef tallow chips in Odin’s Original flavor to bring you back to the Viking Age when they… uh… did not have access to potatoes as they were only grown in the Andes on a different continent.

This is as easy a test of your belief in the American system as is conceivable: Should this be an acceptable argument from a president?

you should know that Christopher Nolan already made an Odyssey adaptation back in 2014 and it was called Interstellar

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

One of these days we deserve a Passion of the Christ-esque version of the Odyssey with all the dialogue in Mycenaean, Luwian, and proto-Tyrsenian (Etrusco-Lemno-Rhaetian). But this does look like it will be fun. youtu.be/x_GUG_rbwX8?...

Dude did a minute long riff on his wife's underwear, but when your job as a member of the mainstream media is sane washing the incoherent ramblings of a guy who keeps the lights on in your building, the public must be told he's just doing normal President stuff🙃

Morning.

Democrats have forgotten how to connect with working people like they used to

Reading Satzinger's review of "Ancient Egyptian and Afroasiatic" (Ling Aeg 2024) & came across this terrific critique of attempts to sand down or obfuscate the complexity of Egyptian morphosyntax. His previous comparative analysis of the "second tenses" is here: homepage.univie.ac.at/helmut.satzi...

Does anyone wanna see a really good Getty image of Rita Moreno and Sam The Eagle having dinner in 1979?

In a shocking twist, my hamfisted attempt at a coverup has only drawn attention to my crimes

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

Wait, surprise is associated with a particular intonation!? Oh, you can see surprise by measuring electricity from your brain!? Hang on, some languages have grammatical marking for surprise!? In our latest episode we get enthusiastic about surprise!

slow day in the office so figured we'd start some beef with museums

I see the justice department have had a go at Tristram Shandy too.

Just noticed this is on Kanopy; otherwise I would have shown it in class. We watched Gremlins though.

Waiting for that list to come out like the cast list for the school play 🤞

New personal motto just dropped. {pabmo’ pabmey pabmeH} “to follow grammars for the sake of grammar”

So... National Socialist States of America to USSA to International War Crimes to Terrorist State. And Drumpf isn't even a full year into his 'presidency'. Full scale quarantine, embargo, sanctions, asset freeze, and severing of all diplomatic and corporate ties please.

Very cool!

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke

okay so my prediction is that the death of Trump ends the Republican Party as we know it and Newsom splinters the 'center' dems that are actually republicans into the new Republican Party. has anyone called this yet? I hate this guy. Reagan of course but also Newsom.

Google is very concerned I will confuse a local restaurant promotion with one of the top ten Twilight Zone episodes

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.

I’ve been hard on legal scholarship in general but there’s more here than I thought

Stealing homes from people who are kidnapped by the state is 1) heinous and 2) not an actual housing policy
