I remember a professor in grad school giving me around 100+ negative / corrective comments and zero praise on a paper.

Very few in the academy today have the spine, intellect, and care required to give such a generous gift.

I sometimes suspect that, in certain fundamental and humanistic (dare I say "trivial"?) respects, comparing @WYOCathCollege's standards to those of Harvard is an instance of "punching down."

@SunBeltMindset @ThepaleUsher Agreed! Though, I think that Hawthorne has really funny moments in Mosses from an Old Manse. Mrs. Bullfrog is the best example I can think of.

Birthday today. I have failed to achieve notable death as a 27 year-old wunderkind. Must settle for someday becoming an old master. Life: a series of consolation prizes.

@StephenPiment Just read Book 4 of the Republic out loud last week; if the soul is one thing, how can it seem to wish for different things simultaneously? Has to have different parts.

@FischerKing64 Hehe, I forgot that The Prestige was a Nolan film. Will have to rewatch.

Celebrated Mrs. MCC's bday, hiked, re-read the end of the Aeneid, dreamed about Angola, stoked the fire, guy at the bar told me that communists on X said that they thought the best way to split the Right was to blame Charlie K's murder on Israel, listened to millennial indie trash while dancing in the cabin, the stars are blotted out by Diana's glory, glory which illuminates the snowy mountains.

At a cabin in the mountains where you have to make a fire to get any heat. Going to be an awesome weekend.

@Heminator The White Album, among other things, was a testimony to how many genres of music they could have easily broken into and mastered.

I don't like some of the things they stood for, but I can't help but enjoy so many of their songs for so many reasons.

@soulful_indigo I haven't tried any Duolingo courses. How useful was the Latin course?

[Stephen Pimentel @StephenPiment]

“Why do people who leave nothing unchallenged still make demands of their own? They live off the fact that gods, fathers, and poets used to exist. The essence of words has been diluted into empty titles.

In the animal kingdom, there are parasites that clandestinely hollow out a caterpillar. Eventually, a mere wasp emerges instead of a butterfly. And that is what those people do with their heritage, and with language in particular, as counterfeiters.”

@nofedpoasts @ploughmansfolly MD podcast pilot will finally drop this Melville Monday, and life is a gift that I am grateful for. I hope that all is going well for you.

@Curculiunculus @miltonappl3 Okay, but even if true, we would have to ask what a phallus means to Homer or Odysseus, and why it shows up here. What does the phallus have to do with Odysseus needing the Cyclops to know that he isn't in fact no one?

[Montana Classical College @MTClassical]

I had a dream that I flew to Angola with some friends, and when we got there, the customs agent was a cyclops.

@HellenicVibes STRONK!

@e_plutarchos Whoa. I listened to CR ep. 2 again, and the effect was immediate.

@Mechanical_Dodo hehee
