The worse his vanity war gets, the more he decompensates.

Or is it another iteration of US imperialism in the Middle East, with extra megalomania mixed in?

Half the fun of lecturing about Zwingli is you get to say "Zwingli" repeatedly.

Zwingli is great for this kind of thing. When teaching about his disagreement with Luther about the Eucharist, I used to use that old Bill Clinton line "It depends on what the meaning of "is" is." But now that's too old a reference for today's students.

Why is it that anytime a software system (I'm looking at you, Moodle) gets "upgraded" it becomes less user friendly?

A grim thread. I have reverted to mostly in-class assignments. The era of undergrads writing essays unsupervised on their own time is rapidly coming to a close.

The conservative project in a nutshell: to maintain hierarchies.
Wilhoit's Law: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

This is how I came to my 1572 project. Things that happened that year kept coming up as I researched other topics.
It's our curiosity that makes us scholars, not our efficiency. 🗃️

Super niche #earlymodern query: has anyone ever worked with account books that are records of salaries received by specific individuals?
I've a prioress and her steward both making these payments. The individual verifies receipt and then signs. The book is a running tally of these disbursements.
