In college, I took a Roman history module in parallel with a US foreign policy module and could almost set my notes point by point in parallel.

I will say one thing for the utter feckery of late stage capitalism: it makes teaching how hideous the personalities of the Late Roman Republic were so much easier. You get much less of the 'but Caesar was doing it for the good of the people!' responses.

I think we have different reading patterns! It's been a long time since I read anything in your primary genres of interest. I must admit that I thought the second f in sf&f stood for fiction :-)

This wasn't necessarily the case ten years ago, but for me it's up to 90% at this point. It's only something I noticed myself recently.

Have you read Hench by Walschots? Excellent supervillain POV story.

I also recommend iHunt by @oliviahill.bsky.social. Very current gen Z romp with Buffy on an app.

@nichorra.bsky.social wrote Elysian which is a very well depicted first novel set in Cork, Ireland.

John Moran, the frontrunning Limerick mayoral candidate who introduced the vulture funds to Ireland, promises to set the vultures loose on Limerick city if elected. Here he's represented not as a vulture but an ouroboros, circling the same late-capitalist ideas promising to bring death to life.

@fourth.best hey! I subscribe to your music blog and have been scribbling a review of an album this week. Two questions: would you consider a submission? If it's an artist based in the UK, is that a hard no? ❤️

There is a queue down the main street in Dublin of people to get free meals from Muslim women. And what are the far right goons doing to improve people's lives ? Blocking streets, burning down buildings and spewing hate. Pathetic people.

I got my first confirmation just now from someone who bought an Amazon copy and received my returned, damaged copy. Those bastards. What recourse do I have on this? How can this be prevented? It’s totally illegal, I’m guessing.

Nostalgia mining is the death of creativity, and we're all being willingly played, and even after Ghost Busters : Afterlife being the literal worst film i've ever seen – with God and Judge Reinhold as my witness, I cannot wait for Beverly Hills Cop 4.

The amount of billionaires who think they're Julius Caesar when they're actually Marcus Crassus is amazing. Also, they should know to aim to be Augustus, who died in bed and not at the foot of a statue of his biggest enemy after being stabbed by 50+ of his best friends.

I anticipate the day when Carroll's Irish gift shop seizes so many buildings that they end up setting the Irish history curriculum for schools.

Is it medically dangerous? I had a similar swelling after a sting on my temple — the day after my forehead and eyelids swelled to the point where I couldn't see.
