[6] L To Calvisius. Thave been spending all my time here among my tablets and books as quietly as I could wish. "How is that possible," you ask, "in Rome?" Well, the Circensian games have been on, and that is a kind of spectacle which has not the slightest attraction for me. There is no novelty, no variety in it, nothing which one wants to see twice. Hence I am the more amazed that so many thousands of men * should be eager, like a pack of children, to see horses running time after time, and the charioteers bending over their cars. There might be some reason for their enthusiasm if it was the speed of the hors or the skill of the drivers that was the attraction, but it is the racing-colours which they favour, and the racing-colours that fire their love. If, in the middle of the course and during the race itself, the colours were to be changed, their enthusiasm and partisanship would change with them, and they would suddenly desert the drivers and the horses, whom they recognise afar and whose names they shout aloud. Such is the influence and authority vested i one cheap tunic, I don't say with the common crowd, - for that is even cheaper than the tunic, - but with certain men of position; and when I consider that they can sit for so long without growing tired, looking on at such a fruitless, cheerless, and tedious sport, I really feel a sort of pleasure in the thought that what they take delight in has no charm for me. Thus it is that I have been only too glad to pass my leisure time among my books during the race-meeting, while others have been wasting their days in the most idle occupations. Farewell.

[first lines Jerry: Loyalty to any one sports team is pretty hard to justify. Because the players are always changing, the team can move to another city. You're actually rooting for the clothes when you get right down to it. I mean, you are standing and cheering and yelling for your clothes to beat the clothes from another city. Fans will be so in love with a player, but if he goes to another team, they boo him. This is the same human being in a different shirt. They hate him now. "Boo! Different shirt. Booooo."

Pliny the Younger apparently thought sports were very stupid but it's funny that it's for the exact reason laid out in Seinfeld s6e12 ("The Label Maker")

I came for The Name of the Rose homage, I stayed for the meditation on writers block

this prompt doesn’t work if the Instagram music embed doesn’t have the Zelda song falsely attributed to System of a Down on KaZaA

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for Switch, characters blink even when looking away from the camera (visible in reflective surfaces). An exception is Peach. This creates the unintended impression that Peach doesn't actually need to blink and only does it for the camera.

this post is for nobody

if people can perform HAMLET in Grand Theft Auto, then we should be able to perform MR. BURNS A POST-ELECTRIC PLAY in Death Stranding 2

[whispers] it’s what eyes wide shut is about

at this point I’m pretty sure the last ten years have been a death dream I’m having as my brain shuts down and floods my system with DMT. I guess the apprentice is probably on in the background. various daytime tv

BOB DYLAN IN NEWPORT: I haven’t seen people this mad at somebody going electric since Thomas Edison electrocuted Topsy the Elephant on Coney Island in 1903

I've spent the entire day so far singing "It Ain't Me Babe" to myself, but saying "babe" like Dennis Miller

Who cares

good choice on my end imo bsky.app/profile/nyti...
