@FatherNaugle The stance is Protestant in that, as here, it is inherently, foundationally oppositional. Printing a credo and sending it to the Pope is a political oppositional act not a religious one. There's no way round this. There are no deep thinkers the SSPX. They're like this.

Fr. Jean-Michel Gleize, SSPX says the following.
This is not ok.

ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com/politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge.

The first Greek writing we have, "Nestor's Cup," uses ":" for spacing.

It's my little bone to gnaw on, but the continuance of Cypriot syllabic astounds me. Greek writing didn't die, yet somehow when western, non-Cypriot Greeks wrote again, they didn't use it, adapting a whole new system, from Phoenicia. Being a Greek Cypriot at the time must have been weird, like being deep into the Seattle grunge scene and then suddenly every teenager is going crazy over Nevermind.

The lack of word breaks is mystifying. It’s not like ancient languages didn’t have them—they often did! Early Greek sometimes did. Old Persian did. Linear B did. Cypriot syllabic did. Lycian(!) almost always did. There’s no other way to put it: Greeks and Romans chose to be dumb about this.

something *more nuts* about the “whole word” reading instruction situation: Spaces between words were invented by Irish Monks in the 7th century. This entire approach was impossible and is not a design feature of our (classical Greek / Latin) language heritage.

@MagnusPharao @theo_nash There will be a footnote on this.

@theo_nash @librarythingtim No, it proposes that it would be funny if it did

It would be really funny if the next edition of Liddell and Scott was forced to have three pages of citations to the Twitter discussion of πολύτροπος.

While the UN tries to avoid to point at the obvious culprit of the strike against their convoy in Kherson, Ukraine, Russians released FPV footage of that particular strike, making absolutely clear this wasn’t some kind of accident, but a deliberate terrorist strike, which civilians in Kherson have to endure on a daily base.
