Arthur convinces Merlin to give Kay an adventure—and luckily, it's not with the ants, where "EVERYTHING NOT FORBIDDEN IS COMPULSORY." Share and enjoy!

In Bloom’s estimation, this “inevitably phrased poem [is] one of Yeats’s greatest”:

This week I'll be uploading a series of pictures of rural grounds from the Times between 1930 and 1945. The original quality was dire so they have been cleaned and coloured with as few changes as possible. This is Leigh near Hildenborough in Kent taken in 1930

Still one of the great comic routines.

This is a great insight about human nature, and what actually satisfies us.

Just to add to @JudiciaryGOP about SPLC being totally discredited: Today, *I* was added to the SPLC's "hate list." They called me an "anti-LGBTQ " "Suit & Tie Extremist." Compared me to "neo-Nazis." Why? Because I testified last year on religious persecution in Nigeria. Seriously. I spoke to @HouseAppropsGOP & @HouseForeignGOP about our cases that "have involved Christians unjustly imprisoned by Sharia courts, false allegations of crimes merely for evangelism or protecting Christian converts or operating charities, Christians kidnapped and tortured, girls taken from their parents and forced into marriages and forcefully converted to Islam, and both Christians and minority Muslims charged with blasphemy accusations." I talked about visiting targeted villages in Nigeria whose pastors had literally been beheaded. I sat next to the Chair of @USCIRF and a Nigerian expert from Council on Foreign Relations. But SPLC are such smear merchants, that they want to tag me and my testimony on literal mass atrocities as somehow the views of an "anti-LGBTQ extremist." The images are what SPLC claims about me, and what I actually spoke about. Here's the receipts. The SPLC can't do basic research. They are utterly discredited. Don't trust anything they say. @ADFLegal @ADFIntl

I'm not sure this appeal is even as effective on the Left as he wishes it to be. The mindset is that everything REALLY belongs to the state, and then we will redistribute it as we wish ("for justice" is the pretend, "to our friends" the reality).

"Shawn Phillip Cooper Arrives in Heaven" Dr. Cooper, quite irate, Assailed poor St. Peter. "My good man, I must insist You take me to your leader, For I see, beyond the gate, No lemon trees at all; No wonder all those angels left In that cataclysmic Fall!"

Just got it set up for now, and @NotSoSmolBirb added to it. Will add more soon. This is just a little website to remember folks I and thus many of you knew on here who have returned to Christ. twitterinmemoriam.wordpress.…

Very well done indeed!

Another case of academia is the Left's turf so we must crush the right-wingers. "Dark money" just means money they dislike. They love Mellon money. "As tenure is being cut, it's bad they're hiring tenured faculty" makes zero sense. These are not coherent or serious people.

Yeah. The sense of evil and tragedy in Hawthorne and Melville pushed back hard against the optimistic Emersonianism of the age.

A Berkeley history professor said he’s gone from assigning 100 pages of reading per week to 35. Another “said the earliest version of the…course he taught required seven full books, while his most recent iteration exclusively consisted of excerpts.” “We are now reaching a crisis point where if the number (of pages) goes down further, it’s unclear to me whether my discipline of history can really be taught,” the first one said.

The 7 June Peruvian election (still tabulating at 98 %) has the candidates, over 18M votes between them, separated by about 1,000 votes, or .003%.

Read Moby-Dick. The Great American novel.

This is amazing. Thanks to everyone who has helped make these summer events possible at @stthomashouston. Learn more at stthom.edu/sls

Some very heavy weather out there tonight. Pray for those in harm's way!

I believe Prof. Fleming’s legendary Chaucer class survives online somewhere in podcast recordings — absolutely worth finding. A great man and a great educator.

@CritReadings’s series on T. H. White’s Once & Future King continues. In his metamorphoses in these chapters Arthur gets a first-hand lesson in militarism (Falcons) and Taylorism (Ants)

Bring back gatekeepers. I wrote about these much-diminished (and sorely missed) figures for the @thewalrus summer reading issue.
