Such a good show cut down too early. I wanted the full story plans. I wanted to see Timon go to occupied Judea and meet Jesus. I wanted the ending where an older Lucius Vorenus commits suicide at Ceasar’s grave. So much potential squashed by ballooning costs and Italian fuckery regarding the use of Cinecittá for filming.

A good podcast about HBO’s Rome is called Raising Standards. One of the hosts is a classical scholar and they frequently have actors, directors, and producers from the show on as guests. They even got the news reader to record the opening. A true Roman podcast for true Romans!

Would’ve been better if he dug him up for it.

Guy probably fancies himself the Will Graham of human trafficking

Plus Wenner himself was accused of sexual assault in 2017 by former employees.

The “Masters” interviewed in the book are:

Dylon, Lennon, Bono, Townsend, Garcia, Jagger, and Springsteen

Lmao.

“Disco Sucks” has taken on a human avatar.

A Master Mold rotting in the jungle like an ancient temple is

Grant Morrison’s “New X-Men” had a lot of issues for me, but the “feral” Sentinels that Cassandra Nova found in South America and used to attack Genosha struck me as extra monstrous since they were improvised in design and ran on killer “instinct” for lack of a better term.

The subplot of developing the town into an exurban haven for yuppies got her all horned up

All the hate to those haters. Other people unable to contend with their personal contradictions is not your fault and you’ve handled yourself remarkabley despite the recent stream of piss and shid from people who don’t know the first thing about you. I see you, hear you, and appreciate your presence and posts. Hexbear has a lot of positive things going for it, but stuff like this shows how white it still is. I can only say that as a honkey who has had to do a lot of personal work and self-crit about what that means.

They’re the failing New York Times, folks. More and more people are saying because it is a rag. A tiny little rag you use to clean some mud off of your shoe or maybe a bug but that feels mean to the bug. Very mean very ugly paper like a scary paper mache mask.

They were intimidated by your posting power.

“Do not come.” It has a nice ring to it.

and extra credit for using “assiduous”.

What a teacher’s pet dork.

Juche necromancy does it again!

Hitler literally mad that the English achieved lebensraum first.

Eleventy-bajillion people killed and you question our methodology with mockery?

My mom used to have a boss whose last name was Hittler (two "t"s). Got a lot of joke mileage out of it when I was a kid.

John was using Babylon as a metaphor for Rome, so it isn’t a stretch to apply it to contemporary standards of imperial dominance over God’s people. Woe to the city of America!
