Why are we even seeing dude’s name pop up? I shouldn’t even see dude’s name in my email notifications. Why is dude still being published? How does dude still have a platform? We really separating the scholar from the scholarship in 2025? What a joke.

Changes to BMCR’s language policy – Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"A review written in transparent prose can be translated via Google or Deepl with great accuracy"

Not sure whether forcing your colleagues to use AI just because language skills among Anlophones is collapsing is really a good look.

My fellow academics, do y’all ever move around your house to get a change of pace while working? For example, I’ll go from working at my actually office at home to the table in the dining room or to the couch. Though the couch is dangerous sometimes πŸ˜‚

Well I’m glad I took German in my undergrad. My UG advisor said I would need it to do good ancient history work so I took it for 3 years. Wish I could have taken more!

And everyone tries to make Ryan Coogler one of the best Black directors right now but I’d argue for this and other films he’s just one of the best directors right now. Michael B Jordan’s best role to date and so good that I forget he plays two characters at the same time.

I 100000% recommend watching this movie. It’s easily a 9.5/10. I would say it’s almost as good as Get Out (if you haven’t seen Get Out I cannot help you). Ryan Coogler’s best film to date!

Not a suggestion but a comment. That is a dope topic for a class.
