This undertaking has quite possibly been the most important project that has ever come out of my blog. Substack gives a free trial week to any new subscribers, and even if you donāt plan on paying, I recommend using that on this.

I spent my morning thinking about certain precursors to The Funny Thing that may come to pass. Like, at some point Elon is going to fuck up the TSA budget and that could lead to The Funny Thing happening very quickly.

There are too many safeguards in place to protect from natural selection. Trump should have died of Covid in office but they had to pump him full of meds instead. Abolish the secret service.

If I were to get off my ass and actively work towards stopping all the people who have gotten in the way of my generationās health and wellbeing, Iād create a cottage industry of street cleaners in D.C.. In that scenario youād be whining about me for other reasons.

Little bit of good news. I was given the opportunity to help a fellow classicist (@Alvarus__lat) with some proofreading for his translation of Comeniusā Orbis Sensualium Pictus. It feels great to have my name attached to such an important project, and I encourage everyone to pick up their own copy.

Anyone here with a classics connection to the University of Chicago? I would even take non-classics connections at this point. I need something that may be in the archives but definitely isnāt digitized and the library will take a month to get back to me.
