Genuinely asking, is this EO overturning laws duly passed by Congress and signed into law by previous presidents? If so, isn't that outside the purview of a president? Isn't Congress the only body that can repeal a law (assuming it isn't unconstitutional)?

It seems to me that our systems of checks and balances needs to step up and balance. Some checking would be good too. If our legal system is worth its salt, then shouldn't they toss out the case based on the 1st amendment regardless of what the President wants?

But it does give you super powers so there's that. Emacs uses might disagree and then we could have a war about things that will never be resolved. Or, we could watch Blackadder instead.

This is where I'd recommends vim or helix (my command line editor or choice). But then you'd have a harder time getting thigs like spelling correction which would tell you that "recommends" has an unnecessary "s" which thankfully I noticied but thought it would be diverting to leave in this oost.

I've been thinking about two things from this episode: 1. Output centers around verbs 2. Input centers around nouns. Makes sense. Verbs control so much of sentence structure and we need them to communicate. When reading, we can often guess what's happening if we know who's doing it and to whom.

Just released a recording of @jeltzz.bsky.social's LGPSI chapter 2, this time with a restored Koine pronunciation. I'm planning to keep going. Question: Better to keep this on the Greeking Out podcast or put them elsewhere? Or Both?

In writing Ōsweald Bera, I had to make some decisions that not everyone will agree with Trade-offs had to be made between: - story - grammatical simplicity - vocabulary load - idiomatic use of the language I explain my point of view on Substack: colingorrie.substack.com/p/potential-...

I was watching a video on Latin. The speaker said it was good to learn because it was stable and no one was adding words like "skibbidy Ohio toilet Riz". I thought I know just the people who could do such a thing. So how would we say that in Latin/AG? @jeltzz.bsky.social @colingorrie.bsky.social

It seems like there's so many decent novellas and learner texts for Latin (public domain no less). I just wish we had as much for Ancient Greek.

I just wish TEI was a bit more semantic and less worried about page rendering. Of course, it may be that I don't understand it properly. I'm sure @jtauber.com's class could set me in the right path had I the time.

One of my hopes for the podcast is to help spread the word about new resources, tools, classes etc. so if someone has one and wants to come on the show, let me know.

I think there's some things that @jtauber.com would find interesting in this episode.
