My case for reading the resurrected Christ in the Gospel of Peter as riding triumphantly on his angelic chariot rather than as weakly supported by angels. #AncientHistory #Apocrypha

Reading Ursula LeGuin's novel The Dispossessed which was written in 1974 and the way one character justifies atrocious political violence by appeal to traditional masculinity is really underscoring for me how much the present situation follows an old script.

@LauraRbnsn Politics sometimes forcefully reminds me that things treated as normal in my upbringing are so alien to regular Americans as to be newsworthy. I had the same feeling when Mike Johnson having accountability software was headline news.

@josiahwsutton We need to go back to the good old days of non-violent scamming/wire fraud!

Laura Nasrallah's hot take: "Give Paul a sabbatical." By this she means, we should focus on the people around Paul and his environment more than on the "great man" himself.

Looking forward to the hot takes on Paul session this morning at #AARSBL. As someone who has some idiosyncratic readings of Pauline passages, I'm interested to see what qualifies here as a hot take.

Kathy Ehrensperger's hot take: Paul's pharisaism was flexible and adaptable rather than rigid (and thus in line with the sort criticized by the Qumran sectarians), therefore he is "well-equipped" to guide and include gentiles

Had a delightfully Bostonian exchange at the exhibit hall for #AARSBL earlier. I asked a guy if he knew where I could find a water fountain and he said he hadn't seen one so I might be better off running across the street to Dunkin's.

I'll be at #sblaar25 #aarsbl25 this year. If you want to meet up (or meet in person finally), let me know.

@Svigel It seems like a pretty bad idea to me actually, since the congresspeople who are most corrupt would be the ones who could (via their unjustly acquired wealth) weather the storm the easiest.

For a few hundred dollars, Werner Herzog could do something really funny.

Still a little buggy, but today I used a microcontroller and sensor board from @adafruit to make a simple Sip-N-Puff page turner. It shows up to other devices as a Bluetooth keyboard, allowing a disabled user to puff/sip to go forward/back in most e-reading apps I've tested.

Part 2 of my little DH project involved making a printable stylus and contract tablet. The idea is to make it possible to use cheaply printed wax writing tablets to let students experience ancient writing culture hands on. Doing the test prints now. Last image is the Part 1 print

Insiders shared that the house has a large number of guest rooms, more resembling a hotel than the typical grand residence. Sources also indicate that a dedicated room is being constructed for Elon Musk, stocked with Ketamine and a large selection of anime girl pillows.

BREAKING: Trump will honor himself for saving LA by building a new presidential residence—gilded in a nod to the "Golden State"—on land which recently became available. According to a spokesman, "The Golden House will provide a fitting west-coast companion to the White House."

[Jeremiah Bailey @NTECProf]

The residence will contain a colossal bronze statue of a hand turning on a faucet and a mural depicting Trump and an anthropomorphic American flag standing victorious over wokeness, depicted as a woman with her hands bound in chains.
