It's so funny when people idolize Roman aristocrats like Cicero, Caesar, and Sulla, because reading the primary sources about them makes it clear they were catty bitches who insulted each other by gossiping about the shame of a rival's grandpa owning a rope-making business and a bakery

The number of people who've revealed their confident ignorance in defining Chabad's place on the Zionist/anti-Zionist spectrum (either in defense or in attack) is something.

Most Jewish communities do not fit such easy description, Chabad especially not.
If you're gonna say the Chabad rabbi deserved it because he was "grooming kids for the IDF" you are not just an antisemitic bigot, but an extremely ignorant one at that.

Learn the first thing about the subjects of your bigotry before opening your mouth so you don't embarrass yourself like that!

After every tragedy we do the important thing, get angry about other people’s reaction to the tragedy

Old Russian joke. Every day a guy goes to a newsstand and carefully scans the front page headlines, clearly looking for something specific. One day the clerk running the stand asks what he's looking for. Guy says an obituary. Clerk says those are in the back. Guy says, not the one I'm hoping for.

Asked to write something about technology in Thucydides and there's a bit on siegecraft and I'm trying not to be snarky here but the core technology in Thucydidean siegecraft is God's own humble Rock. Placed atop another rock.

It's all walls and counter-walls. The tech is literally neolithic.

As i've said before, the renaissance was just 15th century OnlyFans.

Artists discovering rich dudes will pay big bucks for pictures of their favourite Greek god, goddess or bible figure with their bits out.

Reports of a mass shooting at Bondi Beach, Sidney, at or near a Hanukkah event which was taking place on the beach. I have seen videos of two men in black shooting down to the beach, but I'm not sure if those are the assailants or LEO. Reports of many casualties.
