October baseball is back in Cleveland! I caught up with Les “The Beer Guy” Flake in Sept. at the ballpark. He’s served Cleveland fans for 52 years. Thanks, Les for always letting me take your photo. Sharing this one for good luck as the Guards open up the series today. Go Guards!

Prepping today's class made me really see the connection between the mosque of Córdoba and the church of Santiago de Peñalba, both built in the 9th century. In each, a complex dome caps a square bay before a niche with a horseshoe arch and a scalloped half dome.

Jackie Jackson died two days ago. His death did not get the fanfare that the big celebrities get but I assure you he was no less than any of them: a titan astride the earth. In this thread, a few of the songs he played bass on. You know these songs. You know their bass parts. youtu.be/DKVB_CtU8XQ

Yesterday’s Anthropeum had this completely unadorned pot that looks like something my friend Greg made on a 3rd grade field trip to a pottery. I cannot be reasonably expected to know this

Very simple clay pot with an indentation and modest lipped rim.

Now that Taylor Swift has a house in Cleveland (Bratenahl), I assume she will be recreating this lakeside Cramps show from July 4, 1978 which occurred less than a mile from her new digs.

The Cramps perform on a small ledge over the beach on Lake Erie in Cleveland on July 4, 1978

went down a Sinead O'Connor rabbit hole and emerged with the realization (not unique to me): you can hear the impact she had on Liz Phair, melodically and lyrically. Here's a live version of Emperor's New Clothes, original released 1990 youtu.be/hNAqVfCvr-I?...

A recent grad sent me a cool postcard of Cologne cathedral. Hold it at this angle and see it before the 19th c facade was built.

Listening to Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall and got curious if there was video. Looks like the answer is no, but this BBC recording is just a year later with many of the same songs youtu.be/Ly7Ti0lY8_I?...

teaching a new class on ancient and medieval Iberia this fall, and thought it might be interesting to build a 🧵. First off, have taught a decent amount of Spanish stuff in other medieval classes, but never a whole devoted to the peninsula--which I visited for the first time last January
