For Latin stories, we've gone from an economy of scarcity to one of nearly infinite abundance, thanks to AI. Here's a Latin mystery based on Catullus 12 and 13: "Who Killed Marrucinus Asinius," with prompt and critique of the Latin generated by ChatGPT. https://t.co/7bYMwoZioN

Got some sample books that I didn't want (they sent me what I didn't want and didn't send me what I wanted). Happy to pass them along to anyone that's interested. I'm in Wayland, MA or I can ship if you'll pay shipping.

Looking for some feedback, Latin teachers. Used this (NYT) Connections Emulator to make four sentences that shouldn't overlap based on both grammar and meaning / context. But not sure if it works. Did I miss anything? Anyone want to give it a shot? https://t.co/MrVVOCf37s

Saw this watching Netflix's Fauda and it occurred to me that it's a great illustration of sequence of tense in English.

Had a great day yesterday at @BPLBoston 's special collections looking at highlights from their Medieval manuscript collection with my Medieval Lit class. Thanks to @lisafdavis for keeping us engrossed through the tour and answering our questions.

@MagistraKiernan Probably my favorite is Steven Pressfield's Last of the Amazons. Gender, mythology, the tension of civilization. He has others that are good too but a bit repetitive; they all focus on a war / battle.

@CurtisDozier Here’s Persephone Brewery. (And you’ve given me some work to do on the Classics Everywhere site.) https://t.co/xHFUYIeTPp

[Mr. D @dehlatinteach]

@jesspipians Perfect. Thanks. Appreciate the info and response (from a non-FB user).

[Mr. D @dehlatinteach]

I'm just hearing about the CB's new proposed revised AP syllabus. Anyone out there have a sense of timing? When that will go into effect? (And how definitive it is?)

[Mr. D @dehlatinteach]

@jesspipians Any sense of how set this is? And a timeline for rolling out the official version?

[Mr. D @dehlatinteach]

For all of you intertextuality fans out there, just saw, and posted with the original reference (from The Truman Show) this one from Hasan Minhaj and The Daily Show and it's a particularly nuanced one. https://t.co/mIWd2qxGeY

[Mr. D @dehlatinteach]

Anyone out there in the Latin / ancient Greek Twitterverse ever hear of the term 'passival'? Apparently it is the English term for the English Greek middle voice. I screen-shot(ted?) the relevant paragraph here and the whole article is linked there. https://t.co/k3bLDLmBXI

Did this program in summer 2022 and was well worth it. A lot of work but good work. #AppleLearningCoach @AppleEDU https://t.co/QDfi5Fxr9C

...but i was in your latin class way back... today someone asked me if i knew what desultory meant and i said, i think something to do with jumping from one thing to another? because i remembered the 'non sum desultor amoris' ..never forgot the 'horse jumper of love'

[Mr. D @dehlatinteach]

Always nice to 1. hear from a (distantly) former student and 2. hear what they took away from my class. And (re)hearing the 'horse jumper of love' definitely made me chuckle. Had forgotten that one (which I maybe haven't taught since that class): hey mr. d... idk if you remember

[Mr. D @dehlatinteach]

@toutovlepo This is a list I made / sporadically update of accounts that (tend to) tweet in Latin. I use it to open class; we spend maybe 5 or 10 minutes scrolling and then discussing what we find, whether cultural, grammar, etc. https://t.co/qGNCb1JQpQ

[Mr. D @dehlatinteach]

Pleased to announce that I officially became an Apple Learning Coach today. It was a lot of work (over the summer) but worth it and I am excited to get started with my new title. @AppleEDU

[Mr. D @dehlatinteach]

Not sure how many Latin teachers / Classicists are @LastWeekTonight fans or kept up with the Freya the Walrus saga, but the most recent intro (which includes images and faux-ish Latin captions) includes Freya with the caption Et tu, Norway? Brilliant. @iamjohnoliver @hbomax
