Remember when we teachers and professors used to tell our students not to use Wikipedia? Its standards are now higher than the many teachers and professors (and university admins) who promote the use of AI.

Mike Bird's association of biblical scholarship he doesnt like with Naziism (he's also done this to JD Crossan & B Mack) risks trivialising the concrete words & actions of really-existing racists & anti-semites whose historical & continuing acts of political violence should remain a primary concern

Excited to join the Wollaston Research Seminar next month to share some ongoing research on the TDNT. My paper, “Translating Kittel’s Wörterbuch: A Bourdieusian Analysis,” examines correspondence between M Barth, W Eerdmans Jr, and G Bromiley through the lens translation studies.

It’s #MosaicMonday and we’re taking a dip in the sea to freshen up with this marine life mosaic from Pompeii. It’s possible to identify the different species including the central tussle between an Octopus vulgaris (common octopus) and a Palinurus vulgaris (European spiny lobster). #AncientRome

This gorgeously detailed piece shows a section of sea completely dominated by marine life of different types including fish, eels, and cephalopods. It was found in a house in Regio VIII.2.16 at Pompeii and is now held by the MAN Napoli (inv. 120177).

Re: Jordan Peterson's references to the Terminator franchise & the Bible. I forgot to mention I actually published an article on the Terminator (specifically the Sarah Connor Chronicles) & the Bible over 10 years ago which may help to explain things... relegere.org/relegere/art...

I'm relieved this Amazon review of Jesus: A Life in Class Conflict solely blames @jc01229.bsky.social for being a Marxist! But seriously, lazy pot shots like this are frustratingly easy to counter - had this reviewer made it to p.2 of the book he would have encountered the text in the 2nd image.
