A Mycenean pottery jar decorated with a fabulous image of an octopus. Amazingly, it was made at least 3000 years ago!

The field is a little waterlogged, but plenty of enthusiasm from Bryce Young — and the kids — at his annual youth camp.

@asymmetricinfo It goes against all stereotypes but having taken European trains quite a bit over the last few years, Italian trains are consistently cleaner, nicer, and more punctual than German ones. The Munich metro system is great but the inter-city trains are a mess.

@RichardHanania @ATabarrok Holland’s argument is that yes, there were Christians on both sides of debates about things like universal human rights but that the debates themselves were downstream of Christianity - there was no equivalent concept in pre-Christian societies.

Something very late Roman about the triumphal arches growing bigger and gaudier as the triumphs themselves grow scarcer and more dubious.

I think about this study a lot regarding safetyism. Saving 57 children's lives a year is good, but missing out of 8000 children because of it is extremely bad.

Can you imagine sitting on a plane with the middle seat of your row open and you see this guy start walking down the aisle?

"It is remarkable, and wildly counterintuitive, not only that the question "Who is in charge of the supply of bread to New York?" has no answer, but that the supply of bread to New York is better managed by a system in which there is no answer than by one in which there is." John Kay.

female friend asked about an up and coming French novelist who I found somewhat underwhelming, and I was just like, "ain't no Houellebecq, girl"

I got to have dinner with Massimo Bottura at his incredible restaurant in Modena a couple years ago. He said something that’s stuck with me: there are only two styles of cuisine in the world, Chinese/French & Japanese/Italian. The first is all about technique and layers. The second is all about quality ingredients and simplicity.

This is the sort of thing I remember as a kid only then it involved athletes from behind the Iron Curtain facing criticism back home.

It seems I completely misunderstood how ski jumping works.

@josephperson Lots of reports that it will be the Browns, unfortunately.
