ooof, terrible to hear Framing the Early Middle Ages is a fantastic book, if you really want to understand the fall of the Western Roman Empire

Hegseth removed Colin Powell’s name from a list of notable Americans buried at Arlington Cemetery. Hegseth also removed the names of every person of color and every woman on the same list Only white men were left in place.

Wow! Texts are super rare for the Hittites, basically there’s just one archive and it’s 95% lists of prayer sacrifices to mountain gods, so this is really, really exciting!

Mine is basically "reads history, reads fantasy, plays video games, sometimes gets bug traps" I'm happy to say that it at least recognizes that I "value" "academic quality historical texts"

This was planned as Schmitt’s big day, with a “national ambitions trial balloon” in national media. Instead it’s ending like this.

You can’t even comprehend how important Eien ni Hen’s work is to the fan translation community. Romancing SaGa, Fire Emblem, Sakura Wars, Tear Ring Saga, Glory of Heracles, Dragon Force II, Dark Half, Beyond Oasis, Psi-O-Blade, Arabian Nights, and so much more. What a loss. Rest in peace.

it's weird to realize that I'm suddenly an AI moderate I'm still anti-AI, but that's a given. But I think people overestimate the environmental impact, and there are plenty of use cases that are somewhere on "okay-to-fine" spectrum IMHO.

Seeing the Emerson poll this morning that showed Trump's net approval dropping 50 pts among Gen Z since he took office made me curious about voter registration trends among those voters in key states. Starting with PA...

This was a tough list, and Game of Thrones barely squeaked in based on the strength of the early seasons. TONS of stuff just barely missed the list: Community, Arrested Development (weak latter seasons), Shogun (only one season), Rome (weak ending), Colbert Report, Loki, White Lotus, etc.

The Tower of Zeldaga is a mashup of the Legend of Zelda and Tower of Druaga. Every room has a secret puzzle and the puzzles get more obtuse as you go on. It's free, runs in your browser (incl mobile), supports controllers, and I'd really love for you to try it out! legitimatebusiness.biz/tower/

Fun fact: In 10 years, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton will be the same age Danny Devito was when IASIP premiered. (Add a year for the age at which Danny Devito actually started on the show, as he joined in Season 2)

makes me think of The Road Not Taken by Harry Turtledove, where humans are last to space travel (as we somehow miss gravity tech), but it turns out our weapons are just.. insanely better anyone else's we get invaded, but the aliens instantly regret it

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

The early 90s Kevin Costner film was supposed to be a gritty take in its day. Now, it may as well be Errol Flynn dressed in all green.

Man, if we lose Square Enix, I'll really feel it. I love Final Fantasy in a way I simply do not love the vast majority of franchises out there, even if I don't always like every entry or related release. And that's not even thinking about Dragon Quest, SaGa, Mana, Nier, Star Ocean, Team Asano, etc.

4/25, and one of them is Ms. Rachel... mind, I have a toddler. I only know the one dude because he had a movie come out. I only know #1 because of the fight with Erika Kirk. And then, of course, Hasan Piker.

I love fantasy because an author will build an elaborate, rooted world, based on history, economics, linguistics, sociology, filled with characters with rich motivations, inner monologues, complicated backstories, just so that they can justify having an Elf King ride a Dragon to go bang a Sex Demon.

It's just fascinating which stories of alleged academic misconduct merit dozens of stories and which kinda vanish into nothingness, I'm sure the main criterion is an objective evaluation of the story's news value to our education system and not something else.
