Lolll Ormsby translation of DQ has some goofy moments. At the beginning of chapter 20: “The advice seemed good to Don Quixote, and, he leading Rocinante by the bridle and Sancho the ass by the halter,…” 🥴 leading Sancho the ass by the halter eh? A rephrasing would have been wise! 🫏

Tried making sourdough pan de cristal again—for the third time!—and looks like third time’s the charm. 😍 they were crunchy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and just delicious. I did cut while hot, ofc, bc cannot wait, so the crumb was a lil too soft to make the best pic. Oh well!

Noting a similarity btw Cold Comfort Farm and Don Quixote, which are both using florid language and traditional forms and genres to mock and subvert same. Always here for mocking stuffy & self-important traditions. 🪵 🫏

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I want to say again to academics who are interested in public writing. Look locally. Sure national outlets are good and I do that too, but this kind of visibility in your community can have a real impact.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

The NYPD and our criminal mayor accidentally Brady violating this guy out of a conviction because they can’t stop publicity hounding would absolutely be the most fitting end to the entire saga.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

This will directly affect the future, & the present, of Pennsylvania & the country. Jonas Salk invented the Polio vaccine at Pitt. Pitt helped unlock DNA & pioneered organ transplants. Musk is offering a future where Americans are poorer, sicker, & less free. One word: NO www.wesa.fm/health-scien...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Don Quixote chapter 13, attending the funeral of Chrysostom: These stories and rhetoric about Marcela have gotten more and more unhinged! Ambrosia now describing her as “that mortal enemy of the human race”!!! FFS incels have always been around 😵‍💫 🫏
