I also appreciate Emily Wilson as a woman in a male dominated role, by which I don’t mean translator or classicist or public scholar but rather “curmudgeon.”

I love how mad some critics are about a classicist wilding out. my friends, we should make more adapted classic texts — I don't care if the films are good, the classicist drama ALONE will be excellent viewing

The fact that people using SNAP cannot buy food that is "hot at the point of sale" is some ableist, classicist, bullshit. I just found this out (thanks @erinbiba.bsky.social), and as a disabled person I am livid.

Nolan's hardly an underdog, but I really do think we need to get away from the idea that fidelity to source material is an index of quality.
There are absolutely problems with the film, but it's an entertainment designed to warn audiences that complex civilization is coming unglued. It succeeds.

‘Nolan has read at least the first line of my translation of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘥𝘺𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘺 into iambic pentameter. In one interview, he cited my version of it: “Tell me about a complicated man.”
