Νικώμεν! A more than a decade long ambition was achieved today as I ran in and completed THE Marathon (so-called Athens Authentic Marathon). It was my first (and probably only) - such a great, if quite challenging, experience! And Athens in November is perfect.

This post gave me so much FOMO that I immediately (and successfully) ordered one here in the US. Now $400 later feeling a bit sheepish…

A reminder of the 'Teaching With Ovid' symposium - accepting paper and panel proposals through to January! Do you use Ovid in teaching, or do you have an idea you'd like to road-test?
The International Ovidian Society and Soc. Ovidiana (a medieval outfit) have teamed up. All disciplines welcome!

This just makes me sick. Vaccines do not cause autism. It is one of the most-studied conspiracy theories and has been debunked every time (for example, the link below looked at >650k Danish children). Thousands of children will die of easily preventable diseases because of this.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...
