@medievallitura.bsky.social I see you liked this and I must apologize for my citational behavior 😅

FYI the convention here is to just cite the original journals, possibly with “collected in” if you want to be completist, but the other half of me is like ffs

The number of times I’ve had to footnote that I couldn’t double check a previous transcription because of the cyberattack always has me feeling like I’m referencing the burning of the Library of Alexandria

They must have been kinder to theirs 😂 The one thing I will say is that the new model has an integrated cord, rather than one you can unplug to carry the whole thing to the table and it’s an annoying if not significant downgrade.

This failed because a local jury decided not to indict. We tend to think juries should be blank slates, impartial and uninformed.

But when the jury began it was trusted specifically because it was informed and partial. A medieval story time on the jury!
The DOJ failed to secure a felony indictment against a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent in protest of Trump's D.C. crackdown
