Nero had some competence. Think Caligula or Caracalla.

I do not see anything explicitly scatological there.

Here is the sentence: Agnoscimus sane magnum beneficium [21] esse, quod linguam ab eis accepimus: sed cavendum est a Rabbinorum [22] stercoribus, qui ex scriptura sancta quasi latrinam quandam fecerunt, in [23] quam suas turpitudines et stultissimas opiniones ingererent.

Ohhh... you have the exact cites. That makes it much easier. If you send me an email, I can explain some of this more. 43 is the Genesis Lectures. You can find an English edition in the LW, probably V2 or 3. It is Gen25.

Can you give me the complete cites? I have class tomorrow morning but I might be able to figure it out for you later in the day.

the last two books I've worked on (one edited, one mono) the publishers both asked for my ORCID. It helps them track citations, I gather.

We head to the RBR next Monday. It is always the week, we will spend the week there, they mention the most at the end of the semester evals. It is, I hope, a week they will still remember in 30 years.

I believe that is Rafael Cruz. I was told there was no more picking pronouns or new names. You go by what's on your birth certificate and that's it.

This is about the tapes isn’t it? I think I bought enough, honest! It was 1985! It was one penny. I was 18.

You would think after her infamous BBC interview where her dissertation was obliterated, she would have just slunk away and hidden in shame. Instead, here we are! I wonder if my knees cracking in the morning is due to the vaccines? Def not being in my late 50s! Gotta be vax!

IT lets me add DB to my school laptop, but school uses Box which I find horrible. Even though DB is on my school laptop, I still find I do most of my collaborative work from home on my own Mac.

Sigh… there are so many things wrong with his take. TA’s should do more work for me! Like there is no value in actually learning what people commonly misunderstand? Like there is no value in learning how to teach to that specific problem. And DUDE if kids miss the same thing every year, that’s on u!

You could also take a look at Oberman’s Teufelsdreck, though I think (as was his want) he makes everything a bit more eschatological than need be. TBH, Augustine is much funnier on farts than Luther could ever be.
