Finished the first book of the year! Mary Beard's "SPQR" is basically a People's History of Rome, focusing more on the Roman citizen (and non-citizens) than Caesar and Nero--though the big names do get their due diligence.
⭐️3.5/5

This is a pretty good historical read that can be summed up in a single sentence:
The Romanovs were a piping hot mess--ESPECIALLY those before Catherine the Great. Just...wow.

I'm glad AEW went above and beyond for the Ted Turner tribute as it might be 30 years after the fact but it counters the "Billionaire Ted" skits as a final impression from a major pro wrestling promotion. For once WWE doesn't get to write the historybook onsomething- they prob won't even mention him
