Hic Svnt Lepores @agnosticnixie.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Besides the fact that hard SF writers often have 0 interest in any other hard thing besides physics, it's always funny when one of their red lines is military ranks that aren't just a carbon copy the USAF 161

Hic Svnt Lepores @agnosticnixie.bsky.social · 30/08/2026The thing is even if Suetonius were not basically doing senatorial propaganda (I think the jury's still out), once you've read enough history of the late republic, it's hard to give a fuck about senatorial whining, that horse was probably the least useless thing in the room. 062
