Why the f*ck would anybody need a nuclear power plant on the Moon? Like, seriously, what the hell?

The #IANLS has now its own #zenodo community where all presentations held at the #ianls25 can be published: zenodo.org/communities/ianls/records A small but hopefully important step towards more #openaccess in the field of #neolatin studies. @neolatin

Oh definitely :) The best bakery tour is the "Punschkrapferl" tour, where you try out the Punschkrapfen of every bakery... hehehe!

I’ve never understood scholars in one field feeling the need to crap all over the methods and research of another field.

Earthrise. Taken #OTD 56 years ago. In terms of seeing that we're all on this one single planet, it's one of the most important photos ever taken.

Maybe we should do a crowd sourced one? Since translations aren't really funded anymore... :)

Nope. Criminally overlooked by classicists!

One of my profs used to say: „If you want a good translation, you‘re gonna have to do it yourself.“ In my case it‘s more: „If you want a translation, you‘re gonna have to do it yourself.“ Currently I’m onto a previously untranslated chronological treatise from 1606…

Having to attend a funeral on Dec 20th is such a mood killer 😞

The IAU named θ Aquilae (HIP 99473) 'Antinous', preserving Ptolemy's 137 CE designation honoring Emperor Hadrian's deified favorite in the region of the extinct Babylonian constellation The Corpse. This star in Aquila continues a 2000-year tradition. #Astronomy #IAU #starnames #WGSN

The IAU's star naming announcement highlights global astronomical heritage. From ancient Sumerian to South African languages, these names show humanity's diverse views of the night sky. Each name tells a story of culture and celestial observation. #Astronomy #IAU #starnames #WGSN

The problem with AI as a “replacement” for historians is that it makes up the past according to the biases that its creators are comfortable with. It is not research but simply an entrenchment of old stereotypes. It actually, in the long run, stuns progress and perpetuates disproved narratives.

It‘s been 23 years since George Harrison died. He and the Beatles are going to be remembered by future generations the same way we remember Mozart or Beethoven.

This is the first record I bought with my own money. I loved the move and I loved the song. It‘s so slow, cheesy and boring by today‘s standards😂 youtu.be/Y0pdQU87dc8
