Here’s a quick look at some of the books I’ll be reading (and possibly writing about) over the summer. If you’d like to follow along, get your copies ready!

[Thrice-Great Nusky 𓅔 @Nuskylicious]

Would any of my blog readers appreciate if I actually put together a classics summer reading list to talk about stuff?

if Herodotus had existed in today's modern world he would have definitely released a vlog or podcast episode retrospective about TiVo

@StolenDans He’s just like m—, uh some guy I know.

Romans would have been cripplingly addicted to the internet. The most potentially terminally online civilization in history.

@TheBrancaShow There’s no reason to believe you aren’t gay for pay. You’re certainly not paying the bills with your shitty podcast lmfao

@keith_saunders Is this legal? @FBIDirectorKash

@sensualhoplite I spent a whole lot of money on stamps in college only to get about four letters back in total. Better to learn that lesson that way than to get stuck paying alimony though!

@romanhelmetguy If you would like to submit an academic paper you are more than welcome to. Just don’t let your AI hallucinate all your sources lmfao

@sensualhoplite Stop flirting with me jeez

The next article I have planned to write is going to be incredibly embarrassing, I can already tell

[Thrice-Great Nusky 𓅔 @Nuskylicious]

@johnricard I don’t care enough to go digging it up, but it’s kind of strange to start a Latin language page without knowing the language! I don’t think he got very far either

[Thrice-Great Nusky 𓅔 @Nuskylicious]

@johnricard Months ago I tried to get to the bottom of this question, because his website is full of AI generated infographics about the language with really odd/obscure vocab choices. There’s a tweet out there where he basically says “I am declaring my intentions to begin learning Latin”

[Thrice-Great Nusky 𓅔 @Nuskylicious]

I should have taken advantage of the 250th anniversary of America to market that folklore project. Goddammit.

@Andrea_Migone Who’s to say he isn’t the reincarnation of Capablanca?

[Thrice-Great Nusky 𓅔 @Nuskylicious]

You don’t need to learn Latin to read Livy if you’re born with an innate knowledge of Roman history. In fact, you don’t need to read Livy at all! How lucky are we to live in a time with such brilliant boys?

[Capablanca @CAPABLANCA_92]

@Nuskylicious @Absyrte @romanhelmetguy See, you think your childish reply (equivalent of @i know you are but what am I) is “great” and clever, but it just reveals insecurities as a self proclaimed classicist. Smart people don’t need you to tell them what Livy says or means.

[Thrice-Great Nusky 𓅔 @Nuskylicious]

@BretDevereaux @adancingferret @CSMFHT I’m guessing that this was talking about translation in verse and the Roman Helmet Boy omitted that on purpose

[Thrice-Great Nusky 𓅔 @Nuskylicious]

@Kin_Loch I’m not picky about publishers! I am a bum and I take what comes my way.

@Alexand63575183 Says the guy who can’t bench as much as me

[Thrice-Great Nusky 𓅔 @Nuskylicious]

@KarolusWangus When did I say that

[Thrice-Great Nusky 𓅔 @Nuskylicious]

It has been generally understood between historians that all the records of Rome were destroyed by Brennus in 390 bc, and that everything Livy says in the first five or so books ought to be taken as legend rather than recorded history.

[Roman Helmet Guy @romanhelmetguy]

If you read Livy and understand what the early Romans were willing to sacrifice for the survival of their Republic, you will never stop hating our ‘elites.’
