When prescribing the dimensions of the Loeb Classical Library series, James Loeb remarked that they should be "handy books of a size that would fit in a gentleman's pocket." Of course, he likely meant a coat pocket, but these variations are acceptable. Credit: @_31BCE @kittyk0zume @booksoftitans @drewdar

@davidwengrow fighting the good fight here. The ideology underlying Indo-European “homeland” was set into stark relief for me in a seminar I took years ago with Bruce Lincoln. Especially we read Stefan Arvidsson’s Aryan Idols: Indo-European Mythology as Ideology and Science.

White supremacists - as the replies to my tweet show - have imagined it precisely to be a “homeland” belonging to a single people, language, and culture. Note the conclusions of Bruce Lincoln, who devoted much of his life to Indo-European studies:

It’s actually a bit disturbing that the authors didn’t specify the period (1900-1969) in the title, and instead claim that they show how socio-economic background “shapes” (rather than ‘shaped’) academia, even though even the most recent cohort in this survey is dead or retired.

Oklahoma kids will learn that the Bible and the Ten Commandments are foundational for western civilization. The left is upset, but one cannot rewrite history.

If you are an academic lambasting the “white privilege” of the economics professor who got violently arrested while trying to intervene on behalf of a student also getting violently arrested, I’d kindly invite you to stop being an embarrassment to our profession. Please. Thanks.

“The Bible is proof text or the repository of costly signals.”
Dan McClellan@maklelan
Absolutely no Christian who has ever lived has treated the Bible as their sole authority. Interpretations of the Bible are governed by the needs & interests of social identities, which are the real authority. The Bible is proof text or the repository of costly signals.
