We “are calling for resistance to the AI industry’s ongoing capture of higher education.” Thanks for this, @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social and Christopher Nygren.

The US is not going to have a government left. The current regime is dismantling everything and anything that might actually benefit its citizens. Is this what you voted for?

Planning Episode 8 of The Homer Hotline this morning with the amazing Prof. Donna Wilson, author of a book that has been most influential on my thinking: _Ransom, Revenge, and Heroic Identity in the Iliad_ (Cambridge 2002).

Now editing...The Homer Hotline Season 1!

The Dems are far from perfect, but the vast majority of them seem to have the best interests of their constituents at heart, and they deserve support in an imperfect system. This cannot be said of the scum in the Rep party.

I say this as someone whose entire job is finding the narrow use cases in which AI is actually useful: All the fear about AI, all the reluctance to adopt it, is entirely legitimate, and a product of the fact that it's been foisted on the public with no consideration of its negative externalities.

This is not surprizing; Lattimore dominates, and it can be difficult to remember that his first name is Richmond, not Richard.

"Human beings are not without some agency: While everything in the Iliad may be part of Zeus’ plan, no divinity seems to cause Agamemnon to reject Chryses’ ransom; nor does any god inspire Achilles to ask Zeus to honor him by making the Achaeans suffer." sententiaeantiquae.com/2025/12/10/d...

Frankenstein (2025) | REVIEW wildsoundfestivalreview.com/2025/11/14/f... One auteur, however, hopes that his passion project can add something new to the storied legacy of the character, and now Netflix has given that opportunity to that auteur. I am, of course, referring to Guillermo Del Toro.

Im not in the right area and I don’t have the space but you may be luckier!

What does Herodotus tell us about mad tyrants’ sexual desires and judges’ betrayal of the law? Nothing! Actually it’s all about the moral bankruptcy of liberalism… thesphinxblog.com/2025/11/13/o...

It’s #ThrowbackThursday! Shout out to these brilliant readers at my Oxford show, who really brought the Greek Factor 🏛️ Everyone else needs to up their game…
