To any new followers. I won’t necessarily follow you back as I’m at my limit attention wise.

Rattle & Hum by U2, which I bought because of a rave review in NME which I have subsequently learned was substituted by the editor for the original, much more critical response from @dubdobdee.bsky.social

Today's example of Mesopotamian pith (i.e. small words that stand for complicated ideas): the Hurrian (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurrians) word "abi," which Emmanuel Laroche's handy GLOSSAIRE DE LA LANGUE HOURRITE informs us means "a hole dug in the ground to communicate with the infernal powers."

Explain your user name:
My 1st online social engagement was on the Dylanpool site: like fantasy football but predicting the songs Bob would play on the next leg of his tour with more points for more obscure choices. My name is a song from the World Gone Wrong album

Explain your user name:

Our original last name had no vowels so we chose a more pronounceable (but still Jewish) one when they let us in here. And that’s my handle because I need to be findable online for professional reasons.

explain your username:

I started going by “Miss Kitty Fantastico” online when I started watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer as a teenager, but that was often too longer for a username on a lot of sites, so I shortened it to “misskittyf.” It’s stuck for nearly 20 years now.
