Nusky

One day 60 years from now, some of your grandkids are gonna ask you what it was like to know me.

I deserve better than this.

Eating sauce on taco
That's a mole

Just you wait until I pivot to video…

In Pursuit of Didactic Poetry Why this underappreciated subgenre of an underappreciated style of writing ought to become a fixture of any modern classroom worth its salt.

I haven’t really been keeping up with advertising my writing on social media since my article on Alice, but I’m still writing. open.substack.com/pub/nusky/p/...

Got banned off the other site for telling Richard Hanania to jump off a bridge

Classics Education: A Manifesto for Today My response to a prompt asking what we as classicists ought to do for the health of the present and future of our discipline.

This week, I wrote my opinions on what direction “The Classics” as a body needs to take in order to return to its primary role in education. nusky.substack.com/p/classics-e...

Politico buried the lede in this article. Trump is replacing Musk as head of DOGE with Joe and Murr from Impractical Jokers

I never understood this line

I heard there was a secret ooze
It turned four turtles into dudes
But you don't really care for pizza, do ya?

They fought like this,
Two swords, a stick
A couple sai
Some nunchuck tricks
Those Ninja boys-a callin

German Translation Exercise: The Mystery of the Chinese Carnation by Louis Weinert-Wilton An excerpt of a classic German Krimi-novel, translated into English.

This is the last translation I’ll be doing on the blog, at least for a while. Check it out if you want. open.substack.com/pub/nusky/p/...

I was actually Banksy this whole time btw

Allowing racial profiling in TSA lines used to be a pretty popular opinion among the idiots. It would be pretty easy to bait them into doing that as part of the anti-woke narrative

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.

Poke me back on Facebook you coward

Just finished writing my first 0 star review for the blog. I’m going to have to track down the person who recommended I read this book and honk them on the nose for being such a clown.

Oh and I also hate the impulse to dumb down all my writing instead of letting it speak for itself.

I hate writing to such a small audience but I also hate self-promotion. I feel so stuck all the time.

HBD

A functioning government would buy this up and destroy any American’s data in order to prevent horrific shit from being done to their descendants, but as-is it’s probably going to end up in Elon’s hands so he can hand pick his next sperm receptacle.
