christianity is a long con by Big Mediterranean to create the image of a golden cross dangling between monica bellucci's breasts

the first thing you need to know is that pretty much all my wife and i have done for the past year and a half is watch tennis. on the men's side we picked (got picked by, really, it's not like you get a choice) a new little guy circa wimbledon 2024, one of the italians on the rise, and locked tf in. and one great pleasure of tennis #tome in addition to the tennis is all the luxury sponcon. if kevin kwan is your airport book of choice and condé nast traveler your reception room glossy you will eat for life. they are constantly in fancy hotels. no one is playing tennis right now but they are definitely in hotels. so recently i was like "this fancy little hotel in the tuscan countryside that put up our guy is in this tiny town that is ringing suchhh a loud bell. For why" and i shook my brain out on the table rifled through the history of my thoughts and realized that it was where cesare borgia installed a puppet governor to enact a wartime crackdown on his behalf and in the implementation become so widely hated by the people that cesare could come back and win the people's simultaneous loyalty and terror by beheading him and cutting him in half and spiking his head in the town square :) on christmas :) Merry christmas :)

TFW your stupid jokes in footnotes sneak into the proofs.

And, no, I'm not asking them to take it out.

IT HAPPENED AGAIN.

...does this mean I'm a senior scholar if I can get away with this stuff?

So, this thing has a cover now!

I know I keep reblogging this shamelessly, but OUP are letting me keep all my stupid jokes and I cannot describe how much, in the year of pain 2025, this brings me joy. From the acknowledgments, my tradition of not thanking my dogs continues.

Mark Rothko on the "recipe of a work of art," lecture at the Pratt Institute, 1958:

  1. There must be a clear preoccupation with death—intimations of mortality… Tragic art, romantic art, etc. deals with the knowledge of death.
  2. Sensuality. Our basis of being concrete about the world. It is a lustful relationship to things that exist.
  3. Tension. Either conflict or curbed desire.
  4. Irony. This is a modern ingredient—the self effacement and examination by which a man for an instant can go on to something else.
  5. Wit and Play..for the human element.
  6. The ephemeral and chance…for the human element.
  7. Hope. 10% to make the tragic concept more endurable.
