That just isn’t true. At best you exaggerate. At worse you are out of date by about half a century of work.

But, fundamentally, I don’t really care about this debate. It I had my way ancient philosophy would be relegated purely to Classics departments.

That has always been the way with academic work. The reason why we have different commentaries is due to the fact that various scholars have different interpretations or nuances on certain terms, terms of phrase, or fundamental concepts.

Which is why people like Rosalind rely on numerous commentaries as well.

One can, in translation. It’s not as if anyone is fluent in Ancient Greek such that will have a native understanding of it anyway

He would know something about plagiarism, being a plagiarist himself…

Seeing what the latest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize is doing (asking Trump to engage in more extrajudicial killings) I maintain that my idea (give it to someone who quietly deescalated a neighbourhood noise complaint) was a better option…

I do love the next season (so much Delgado!) but part of me would love to have seen another season in the mode of that of series 7.

I’ve listened to individual episode commentaries (like the first episode of #TheCrusades)
mrxdentith.com
I’ve only ever listened to one full commentary, which was #TheThreeDoctors, so maybe I should be making more of those special features…

Still, season/series 7 is one of my favourite eras of the show, and whilst I’m tempted to go straight on to #TerrorOfTheAutons I might go backwards and rewatch all the BluRay episodes with commentaries instead

I love #Inferno but I do think the final episode lacks tension. It all just comes together a bit too quickly; I would have got the Doctor out of their coma earlier and made stopping the drill take ten minutes of trouble solving rather than something that seems to take less than a minute #DoctorWho

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.
Headline from an article in Nature this week that states "Prizes must recognize machine contributions to discovery. The future of science will be written by humans and machines together. Awards should reflect that reality."

I would like to just take a moment to invite you to enjoy Cake's 1996 mega-hit 'The Distance'.

It's likely that you know this song, perhaps even love it. But just take a moment to revel in the utter masterpiece that it is.

Surrender yourself to it.

You deserve it.

Just to annoy Trump they should give the Nobel Peace Prize to someone whose only claim to fame is that they quietly deescalated a noise complaint on their street

I think, in Aotearoa New Zealand the version we got on home video and then DVD was the cut version, so the new BluRay edition was the first chance I got to see it uncut

You can’t even fight the KKK any more because of woke

It's now considered controversial to fight the KKK in a video game.
Alt text: A tweet from DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) reads: “Ubisoft canceled an ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ game set in the post–Civil War era. • Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave • Players would fight the emerging KKK • Leadership canceled it after concerns with U.S. political climate & Yasuke backlash.” The source link is listed as “gamefile.news/p/scoop-ubisof…”. Below the text are two images side by side: on the left, a hooded Assassin in white and red armor from the Assassin’s Creed series; on the right, the red Assassin’s Creed logo on a plain background.

I would have desk rejected it given the methodology discussed in section two (which I won't repeat lest it reveal too much)

Look, if we just run the economy on "Logan's Run" rules we could solve a lot of problems...

So, the journal I was reviewing for allows you to see the other review, and it seems we were both in agreement over the incomprehensible nature of the paper we were asked to review

It is that special nonsense that only a human would produce...

I am reviewing a paper that is so badly written that the argument is incomprehensible. Either that or I am having a heart attack
