I recently got up to Sphacteria. While I knew the story of the Spartans asking for Helots who had done service to Sparta in the war to step forward for their freedom, then killed them, I didn't know it came just after offering Helots freedom for smuggling supplies into Sphacteria.

I know a lot of people are waiting for 1.0 to play Scarlet Hollow, but I think that exploring its chapters as they release is an extremely special experience that will no longer be possible when the game is finished. Episode 5 is the last chance you're going to get to have that experience.

If you haven't played Scarlet Hollow yet, do it now before anyone spoils Episode 5 for you.

this was my favorite line so far tbh #otd #ofthedevil

Sorry, Red. I can't GIVE credit.

Oh cool, they're teasing a new character! I bet she's going to show up in the ending of Part 5!

The Aeneid declares that the Roman's arts will be to 'crown peace with laws, to spare in war the humbled and to war down the proud' and yet at the end of the poem, when Turnus is humbled, Aeneas murders him in the last line of the poem - a stark comment on Roman self-perception.

I think the big flaw in Iron Lung is Simon's emotional arc. What gets him from just wanting to survive, to crawling through blood to save the blackbox? Like, you can infer that Eva sacrificing herself is part of it, but there's not enough emotional meat on the bones.

In preparation for the final stream of Of The Devil Episode 2 from @jelloapocalypse.bsky.social / @brendanblaber.bsky.social today, here is another comic from me for another small bit from their playthrough.

i would be overjoyed if the U.S. had a president as ethical and even-tempered as Chancellor Gowron

It wasn’t a “bomb threat”, a bomb was actually thrown into the crowd and didn’t go off! Aaargh!

I have a very dear family friend who is an anthropologist from an upper-middle-class family and as close to a P.G. Wodehouse character who has ever lived. He once drove the entire length of Italy because he got lost trying to get to the city from Rome's airport.

my dad once faxed him a question about the most important sacred mountains in Japan from the UK only to come into the office the next day and find the fax machine had spooled a many-pages long answer onto the floor, including considerations of 'what is a mountain? what is sacred? what is Japan'

Me: So, Mr. Franklin, is this the America you had- Benjamin Franklin: Do you have any more “hentai” of this “Ushiromiya Natsuhi”? Me: Maybe a little, sir, but she’s not a terribly prominent character in the source material. Most people feel inclined to draw the other characters. Ben: Figures.

death battles: blue morgan vs black battler

It can't be stated enough how hard it rocks that Bulma runs over a child then fires a gun at it.

Shocked that this is all they're charging him with, and not attempted murder.

1. I've been thinking a lot about the May Thirtieth Movement in China in 1925 where cops killed protesters resisting foreign occupation of China and set off a massive series of strikes and protests that changed the face of Chinese politics forever. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Reflecting on it, one of the craziest things that happened yesterday - and it was clear even from rapid response reports - is how, after the shooting, DHS flooded many dozens of agents into the scene, effectively taking over the block. Not MPD or emergency services, the immigration agencies.

insane fyp pull

On rewatch, Jud does talk a lot about sin, but only in reference to himself: his own sin of hate and fear when he killed a man in the ring. That "largely" is doing a lot here

It's sale season again and Volume Two has its deepest discount yet! Under ten bucks waow that's a lot of nun for none money

the parish council can’t fire him. the assistant pastor can’t just go to the next town over and plant a new church. only the hierarchy can step in, and we are told explicitly that they haven’t and won’t, something that anyone who knows the politics of the US Bishops Council isn’t surprised by at all

this is kind of delivered as a throwaway but I think it’s really important we aren’t introduced to Wicks as someone who exists in a vacuum. the movie never frames him as out of step with the whole of Catholicism. they know what he’s doing up there! they tacitly enable it! he hasn’t gone THAT rogue!

Watched Wake Up Dead Man, and I was able to correctly identify the murderer right after Monsignor Wicks was killed, and I still didn't solve the mystery. It's great.

that episode sure was something #TADC

Strong Bad getting caught making out with his own drawing at the end of Teen Girl Squad 10 is a cautionary tale for all artists

Dispatch, Episode 5 #dispatch #dispatchgame #flambert #gayisokaymeme

Very telling that the Guardian Weekly article showing teenagers' reactions to Australia's social media ban have a bunch of healthy kids saying "Annoying but no biggie, I can wait two years" and one very disabled one saying "welp there goes my entire world."

Completely dazzled by Networks of the Past, a new gallery @CSMVSmumbai charting India's relationship with the ancient world. Its not just one of the best curated museum galleries in South Asia, it is also the best visual representation I have ever seen of the world I describe in The Golden Road...

Skinky

just riffing on this, in 1944 my grandad's friend Paddy, who would go on to become a very distinguished writer, kidnapped a German general in occupied Crete and took him up into the mountains with a resistance team, from where he was sent on to the UK by submarine. Now, up in the mountains ...
