I'm certainly not the biggest Taylor Swift fan (I like some songs, but not all). But all the misogynistic rage I'm seeing towards her makes me wish I were a bigger fan than I am.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

In honor of Hades 2 launching today, I wanted to take a look at the way the roguelike gameplay is such a clever way to retell a story of the underworld. It's a great way to kill Time. 😏

Hades II dropped today, and through the game's Rogelike descent and return, we're reminded that myths aren't relics of the past—they're living stories that continue to transform alongside us, holding space for new voices and perspectives while honoring the timeless patterns. My take on Hades II:

🌒HADES II v1.0 is OUT NOW!! 🌘 Battle beyond the Underworld in our bewitching sequel to the godlike roguelike. Go Kill Time! Nintendo Switch 2: supergiant.games/h2switch2 Nintendo Switch: supergiant.games/h2switch Steam: supergiant.games/h2steam Epic Games Store: supergiant.games/h2egs

I am SO fucking excited for Hades II !!! I can't play it until later today, so for now, I'm putting the soundtrack on so I can direct my excitement somewhere! #gamersky

🧵 Outsourcing your vengeance doesn’t absolve your complicity. The mental gymnastics of Christian Nationalism is astounding in how awful it is. Allie Stuckey offers her audience comfort in their complicity, allowing them to hate others, even though their scripture tells them to do the opposite.

Ahhh the epic cycle is finally complete! #ancientbluesky

Love scrolling and seeing a headline that says, “14 Greek Mythology Movies That Still Stand the Test of Time” and the main image is of the movie Troy. Um no

Classicists and Latinists rise up! A song with Latin in the lyrics in the Billboards top songs Thank You Kpop Demon Hunters 💁🏻‍♀️ #ancientsky

So out of curiosity I wanted to see if the Watergate Hotel from the Nixon scandal is still around (it is). And I saw they have a “scandal suite” for the room from the scandal and I shit you not one of the robes in the robe for guests to wear says “cover up” with the watergate logo.

Not me falling down a rabbit hole of finding every folklore reference in K-Pop Demon Hunters:

Same! Kpop Demon Hunters have infected my brain. New obsession

After The Ghost of Yotei video yesterday, I’ve been having this and the other song that came out on repeat. LFG!

Tree. Own it like Odin (Yggdrasil - Odin's Horse) or hack it like Gilgamesh.

You taught me language, and my profit on’t Is, I know how to curse.

“You already have too many books.” “You have stacks of unread books at home.” “You don’t have space for more books.” First of all, fuck your negativity. If you want a book and don’t want to get from the library or in digital and you can afford it, buy that book. Buy six. Be happy.

free my country from calamity.

'Scotch-free'? 'Scott free'?? The one you want to use is 'scot-free.' ‘Scot’ is an old word for “tax.” So, ‘scot-free’ literally means “exempt from tax.” It’s since been broadened to mean “completely free from obligation, harm, or penalty.”

Ohh 👀 New book to add to the TBR list!! #booksky

“No one sees death. No one sees the face of death, No one hears the voice of death. But it is savage death that snaps mankind. … How similar our death and abduction, And one cannot draw the image of death. Yet no one has ever greeted a dead man.” -Tablet X in the Epic of Gilgamesh #AncientSky

This week, I’m sharing three threads about the body—its power, vulnerability, and the modern myths that try to control it. -Klytemnestra’s Kink is Karma -My Back is My Roman Empire -When “Religious Freedom” becomes Sacred Violence

Spending my Sunday going adding my annotations from “What to Expect When You’re Dead: An Ancient Tour of Death & the Afterlife” by Robert Garland from @princetonupress.bsky.social to my zettelkasten! #booksky

A perfect post to reshare the day I’m finally free of Meta

My old Facebook and Instagram accounts have finally been deleted. (After waiting 30 days for it to go through.) Ahh what a freeing feeling. Bye Meta 👋

We must not make a scarecrow of the law, Setting it up to fear the birds of prey, And let it keep one shape, till custom make it Their perch and not their terror.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

I love my cat, but he is actually John Travolta’s character in the movie Face Off. Every morning he paws at my face just like this:

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Ok with the creation of a certain recent account, I finally figured out how to use the MAGA list for auto blocking. And sharing a screenshot here and a quick how to in case anyone else is like me and SUPER late to the “auto block” game! 😆

I absolutely would read this.

It’s such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, “this might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!” and “Jesus might be retuning soon!” instead of “look at how much people are suffering!” and “how can we stop this injustice?”

he slanders thee most grossly.

Some desperately needed good news!! Absolutely CANNOT WAIT to play this!

Yay! Happy Pub Day!! 🥳

In the face of the conspiracy theories and revolting jokes about the murders of the Minnesota lawmakers, I’m trying so hard to remind myself that the majority of people are decent human beings that don’t use murder as a butt of a joke or for conspiracy.

The terrorist in MN who murdered Melissa and Mark Hortman named his security company "Praetorian Guard Security Services." It's just a small piece of the picture, but when so many representations of ancient Rome idealize violence, a certain number of people are going to take that to heart

I now better understand the older people from my youth who would complain about their bodies. They'd talk about how the decline happened gradually, without their notice, until suddenly they couldn't help *not* think about their body. Aging: A Thread 🧵

Sorry am I his numbers are so few

If this is true, that’s absolutely disgusting. Modeling yourself after the Roman Empire is already problematic. But wanting to emulate the Praetorian Guard is so fucking gross.

Successful and peaceful #NoKings protest in Lees Summit MO. It was so beautiful to see SO MANY people in a smaller Kansas City suburb calling out the tyranny in Washington. Stay hydrated and stay safe out there fellow protesters! 💙❌👑

Why, it contains no king.

Things don’t go well for those who throw military parades for themselves on their birthday.

Dante wrote up a special place in Hell for ICE The worst of the worst are frozen at the bottom of Inferno.

Your silence most offends me

I do enjoy the country-specific name changes for No Kings protests this weekend
