You can bomb the world to pieces
but let's see if we can't just bomb it into peace?

(hasn't worked before but surely worth another try, yeah?)

Have you done an IYL on Falun Gong yet? I can’t recall but it sounds like something you would/should!

I’m glad there are people who love this stuff. I don’t but I still enjoyed your review.

And this example is pretty convincing - looking at ויקרע four lines down in μL the yodh does have a line but it’s at the end of the point. In ויפל it comes before the point, so it’s a דגש.

How long after a race can one reasonably wear the finisher’s medal for? Asking for a friend

For some absurd reason, this is the way.

Sometimes I click on an Answers in Genesis link just for fun.

Apparently the reason Jesus said a mustard seed is the smallest is because it is. If any seed is bigger now, it must be due to speciation since, and either mustard was smaller then or other seeds were bigger. 👍

Glorious.

Great stuff Evan!

Uh oh. Patterson just announced that Taylor is the smartest person in the Liberal Party.

How the hell is Angus Taylor still a thing? - The Shot Angus Taylor a walking Venn Diagram intersection of fossil fuel fervour and cash for the boys.

and of course he's not just inept, he's also corrupt.

Looks like the only person more inept than me at a spreadsheet is gunning to be the alternative Prime Minister.
Great job Angus.

but wait do i also need to cover all those topics?

I'm up to Luke 13. Interesting how:
18 died at Siloam collapse🤝 18 years crippled

Similar to earlier in Luke 8:
12 year old child 🤝 12 years bleeding

I think this means we should (somehow!) read those two passages in Luke 13 together.

“Tradition is not the worship of ashes but the preservation of fire.” - old mate at the opening of the Winter Olympics.

And probably a Zoroastrian once upon a time too.

Good indicative survey data here on Paul and his letters.

It could be the opt-in nature of the latter one but adherents of Pauline authorship seems to have slightly risen between them.

How did early readers think about the relationship between the gospels?

Repost to enter a drawing to win a free book.

I’ve always loved this picture. We studied it in art class when I lived in Germany. Brilliantly evocative storytelling.

Is it that time already?

Only question is really is going to be “Great spill Angus. Well done.” or will strong man Hastie get the nod?

Mine’s moved on to “bruz” whatever that means

Looks so good! Edited by my PhD supervisor and also my masters supervisor plus an article by my other PhD supervisor.

Now to work out which of them can get me a free copy…

I’m amazed he can paste two pictures together on his phone. He’s 30+ years my senior and I have no idea how to do that.

Not so funny when they consume you without permission is it

Thanks for your advice 🪔 on submitting to SBL International. I put in two papers (one in Judaica and one in Qumran/DSS) so we’ll see if either of them get up. Hope to see/meet many of you at ISBL in Radelaide in July.

The train station just outside Sydney called Douglas Park

This is where they bring me for a little run around

I loved this clue and was so glad to solve it sans hint

love these end of year email appeals

Happy New Year! We need $49,123 before midnight or people WILL DIE.

It would make an excellent jigsaw puzzle

At uni I had a job selling beer out of a keg on my back. I would wander around the stadium pouring cups at footy games.

I asked Eddie Maguire (used to do Who Wants to be a Millionaire in Aus and was Pres. of a footy club) if he wanted one. He didn’t.

Really interesting @gregoryjenks.com!
