Forward! Our old morality, too, is fit for Comedy.

@whyvert And Monte Albán! There were kings there, too, named on monuments, at least in the Early Classic period.

@whyvert I'm very skeptical about Teotihuacan here. They certainly had a line of monarchs in the 4th century, but nothing is really documented about their political system beyond that.

@JamesSurowiecki @megbasham Did Rhode Island verge on treason when it didn't want to ratify the Constitution, which, had it persisted, would have meant leaving the United States?

@knrd_z @postpostpostr Most often, though, one hears of ethnonumbers.

@roddreher The death of Dr. Nut was certainly a loss to American regional culture, but let's not be bitter about it!

@ill_Scholar We just weren't all that modern for all that much of that time. Behavioral modernity is what, you have necklaces and music, you bury your dead with stuff they might need? That's not nothing, but there's been some improvements since then.

@Aristos_Revenge It's convenient for deep time dates in geology etc (you'd get these with other isotopes, not 14C), and you don't have to switch which direction you're counting when you get to the BC/AD midpoint. Plus frankly it sounds more sciencey

[Carolus Periculus @CPericulus]

@Aristos_Revenge "Before Present," the Present being 1950, used in radiocarbon dating. It's not a CE/BCE style replacement for AD/BC.

Evidently, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) thinks it can help people it would like to see in elective office by marking them as "the candidate of the American professoriate." Good luck with that, guys. Why not just brand them with a scarlet "A"?
Look, the AAUP should be politically and ideologically non-partisan. But it hasn't been that for a long time. It claimed to be, but it wasn't. So, I'm glad that the venerable organization is finally providing a little truth in advertising. It's making official the partisanship it has long practiced. It has gone the way of the ACLU, Amnesty International, and so many other once non-partisan organizations.
AAUP members who want a non-partisan academic association should quit. They should join the genuinely non-partisan Academic Freedom Alliance (https://t.co/skCIX7i19t).

THREAD: The judge who sentenced Shiloh Hendrix to a 90-day stayed jail sentence, 200 hours of community service, probation, and a $1000 fine for using the n-word has a history of giving sex offenders no jail time.

@ObtainerOf You've got to die nobly in single combat with the tornado that insulted you

@PalmyrPar It's not exactly fantasy, but Mary Renault's The King Must Die is excellent

@extradeadjcb And all the dialog would be in Rꜥn Kmt, and when it was released on Amazon Prime you could choose between subtitles in hieroglyphic, hieratic, or demotic

[Carolus Periculus @CPericulus]

@AuronMacintyre It's Boondock Saints, but more demographically accurate

@elonmusk Let them "be drawn on a hurdle to the place of execution ... hanged by the neck and being alive cut down, their privy members shall be cut off and their bowels taken out and burned before them, their heads severed from their bodies and their bodies divided into four quarters."

[Carolus Periculus @CPericulus]

@Squattocrat Apparently they were just supposed to eat the Americans

[Carolus Periculus @CPericulus]

@elonmusk Yes but protests by themselves ain't gonna cut it. You've got to build a government in waiting. On top of everything else you've got going on. But the fact is no man alive but you can do it, and next generation will be too late

@roddreher @EduardHabsburg The Innsmouth look, I believe it's called

@cljack Really, polite attention plus visible nipples would be the ideal. Just for clarity's sake
