Renée Good was 37.

A mother.

A wife.

A human being.

After she was shot, a voice on the recording can be heard saying, “fucking bitch.” Multiple news organizations have reported hearing the remark.

You can debate immigration policy all day long.

But look at her family and tell me:

Is this justice?

We do this not because, as RHG imagines, we hate the texts, or something similarly silly, but because we are inspired by them (or real events that sit behind them) and want to understand them *more fully,* as an adult does, rather than merely venerating them, as a child does. 20/

We are not angry enough about this.

@AncPhi You must know a different swath of classicists from I, cos the classicists I know are exhilarating lovers of wisdom.

@LucySixsmith I have a Greek New Testament (Nestle-Aland 24th ed., I think) with interleaved blank pages. It’s handy for taking notes on oddities of vocabulary and syntax as you’re working through the Greek.

We talk about how the J6 criminals meet the dictionary definition of “terrorist.”

But we as a nation still don’t talk enough about how these lawless quislings are also amoral unmanly racist little bitches.
