When we look back, I think we will find that the post-9/11 wars combined with a very particular type of media coverage fried a lot of people's brains on this topic. Special forces! Beards! Muscular men, kicking in doors! Death, lethality, the punisher!

Am I amused at Mearsheimer being as much of a useless idiot when it comes to day-to-day matters as he is in the foreign affairs? Perhaps I am. www.badbaltic.com/acclaimed-ru...

Will Putin launch a large offensive to finish the war? Russia is increasingly stuck, and war leaders under pressure often try to escalate their way out of problems. But as military analyst Alexander With argues on Logic of War, offensives launched from weakness usually fail.

One last offensive to end the war?
By Alexander With History shows that states often launch a major offensive when they expect a turning point in the war. The purpose is seldom total victory, but to enhance their diplomatic and milita...

Dzięki reformie podatkowej więcej pieniędzy zostanie w portfelach (najlepiej zarabiających pracowników). Nie chwalmy rządu tylko dlatego, że mogło być gorzej.

Fully agree. This smells like infoops. The idea that Putin would use nukes at a point when there isn't even officially a war going on but just a "special operation", is just silly.

I might have given my wife a 40 minutes lecture on royal succession laws in Gondor spanning Isildur's accession to the high kingship, the fall of Arnor, and Eärnur's ill fated trip to Minas Morgul... but how is everyone's Friday evening going?

Yes, one could say a case of omission of the significance of women in those Late Antique networks in the modern scholarship.

Yes, we did talk about it a while ago. Because of that lack of crossreferencing I was also under the initial impression they might not have been included, but I did find them afterwards :).

It is quite interesting to see this script if not somewhat flipped, then at the very least rearranged. In an inscription dedicated to Aemilia Andronicene all her male relatives are anonymised, relegated to the role of indicators of her status through their ranks.

One of my fond memories of working on the CLA project is coming across clarissima et spectabilis femina Aemilia Andronicene. Especially in Late Antique narrative sources women are often left nameless and identified solely by their relationship to men, as mothers, daughters, wives etc.

It sure is, and as a very slow writer on my way out of Academia partly because I am such a procrastinator I don't need to be convinced of that 😉 and yet... why even bother with humanities if one does not see the value or satisfaction in expressing their thoughts themselves?

And they are probably right, I recently found out that some of my former Academic teachers from WH UW are completely enamoured with AI (with a healthy dose of a semi-magical thinking about it to the best of my judgement).

Exactly. At least in Denmark I've seen too many commentators confidently state that it's got to be an accident because Russia wouldn't dare do such a thing on purpose. Of course they would! Putin is losing a war and that makes people very tolerant of running risks.

They want you to own nothing. They want you to rent your car, your house, your entire life from them, from a billionaire class that owns everything around you. That's their ideal future, and we can't let them have it.
