Something sad, something cute, something iconic from Kocaeli Museum.

Least surprising headline ever - and with that: a happy new year all round.

Will anyone ask the Dodos if they even WANT to come back to this time in our planet's history?

Don‘t think I can go back to normal conferences after this - tra otium e negotium.

I am seriously tempted to re-register with X just to see this live.

I would really regret it if you do. It's frustrating enough that I can count German-language articles (p.a.) in Historia on one hand (if that)...

Ich bin sehr erleichtert, dass kein Gesetz mit Hilfe der AfD beschlossen worden ist und es offenkundig Gewissensbisse bei Abgeordneten (der Union? der FDP?) gab. Aber den durch Mittwoch und heute angerichteten Schaden kann noch keiner überblicken. Heute war ein Scheißtag für die deutsche Demokratie.

What‘s the thinking behind wearing this laughable shirt in public?

TL;DR Elephanten sind nice, aber überbewertet. Hannibal ist überbewertet, aber nicht nice. Elephantendung in den Alpen ist nicht nice, aber unterbewertet.

Alle anderen Länder so: Feuerwerk, Unfälle, Kugelbomben. Frankreich: ja.

Just in time before the holidays & w/ lovely cover design - publication from the Twisted Transfers project on corruption in antiquity, w/ a chapter on the "corruption" of the Justinianic state by yours truly - continuing the trend of gratuitous pop references in my titles. doi.org/10.1515/9783...

Manchmal wundere ich mich immer noch, dass das tatsächlich mein Beruf ist...

Das ist natürlich Quatsch, es war Herr Djir-Sarais Bruder. Die #FDP lügt.

Someone has gone to quite enormous trouble to painstakingly recreate the Great Palace of Constantinople in Minecraft - AND based on VERY recent scholarship... the greatest thing I've seen on the Internet in a while! (Images belong to the OP of threat in following post, obvs...) #classicsbluesky

Some things never change, regardless of blue skies or tweeting twits... this is the bot account that just can't get enough of 7th c. geopolitics

It would be more convincing, if the editor wasn't called "Betty02"...

Short intro lecture tomorrow and it just hit me that the current generation of students likely doesn’t even know the rage memes… I discovered a whole new way to feel old!

I'm currently doing a teaching project with a colleague from Early Modern History about historical memes, which we want to turn into something more down the road ... #classics and #history peeps, post your dankest memes in the replies! I'll go first...
