It's fucking me up to discover that "Antoine" was the one name SJ didn't go by. He went by Léon, Leonard, Florelle, but not Antoine. My world is shattered. What am I supposed to do with this information.

I read an article the other day about goaltenders and tracking pucks and something they put in their research was that out of the group of goalies they studied, they came to realize that goalies can track puck movement side to side better than they can track the pucks possible height when being shot.
I find that interesting.

I joined onto a fun project this month, Zach Weinersmith of the webcomic Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal is running a Kickstarter for his book, The Universe: Abridged Beyond the Point of Usefulness, and one of the bonus rewards is an audiobook of his other book, Shakespeare’s Sonnets: Abridged Beyond the Point of Usefulenss. I’ll be the one reading the highly abridged sonnets, which I’m looking…

Id like to tell you all my fanfiction vs novel interpretation of textbook writing.
You ever read a textbook or an academic article that is written in such an advanced jargon, you have to already know the information to understand the sentences.
That's fanfic. A story written under the assumption the reader already knows everything about the universe and characters.
A good solidly written textbook that starts from the bottom explaining every bit to you, because you don't know this concept yet.
That's a novel. Comes with a little world building.
Anyway. I'm pissed my textbooks are all fanfic when they should be novels. I just got here, I don't know any of this yet go easy on me.
What does Friedrich Nietzsche and Richard Papen have in common you ask? A morbid longing for the picturesque, perhaps
An essay analyzing The Secret History through Nietzsche's theories of the Apolline and the Dionysiac
"Here, in this supreme menace to the will, there approaches a redeeming, healing enchantress – art. She alone can turn these thoughts of repulsion at the horror and absurdity of existence into ideas compatible with life — Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy"
If you are reading this essay because, like me, you feel something from casual interest to ravishing passion for literature – or even for art in general – then you, me, Nietzsche, and the Classics students of Hampden College perhaps share, in some level, a morbid longing for the picturesque. In this beautiful sentence I chose as epigraph, Nietzsche concludes a lengthy argument in The Birth of Tragedy stating that the only thing between humans and utter despair is art. Depending on the personal level of existential dread, then, it is possible to measure one’s regard for artistic subjects. Unfortunately, I consider myself quite desperate, but not so much as to make me a poet. Thank goodness.
People like Goethe, Keats, Baudelaire, etc. are in the highest degree of the art x despair scale, and we remember them because they “turned these thoughts of repulsion” into art, that is, “ideas compatible with life”. But they are the few who can. The rest get lost in delusions of grandeur or abjection, consumed by their obsessions. And that is the denouement of the main characters in Donna Tartt's The Secret History.

Hey archaeology tumblr, do you have any academic articles that you would be interested in finding in an audio medium either for yourself or for your students? They do have to be open-access under creative commons licensing (which limits the range of articles to cover unfortunately) but there is definitely still a lot of good research licensed that way, especially recently.
I don't plan on posting super frequently - fortnightly is the tentative plan. The goal of this project is essentially to make research more accessible as well as on a personal level to keep up with doing reading in the field now that I am out of school. I have always wished I could access articles in an audio format so why not give it a try myself. I'd greatly appreciate any input!
A problem for the Americans all along, however, resided in their intent to prosecute the nazi leadership for waging aggressive war(s) for the purpose of acquiring Lebensraum (living space) at the expense of peoples they considered untemnenschen (subhuman). The sticking point was that from at least as early as the publication of Mein Kampf in 1925, Adolf Hitler had been at pains to explain that he based the nazi Lebensraumpolitik (policy of territorial expansion) on the United States’ design of militarily expropriating American Indians during the nineteenth century. As historian Norman Rich has summarized Hitler’s thesis: ‘Neither Spain nor Britain should be the models for German expansion, but the Nordics of North America, who had ruthlessly pushed aside an inferior race to win for themselves soil and territory for the future. To undertake this essential task, sometimes difficult, always cruel-this was Hitler’s version of the White Man’s Burden.’ So well-known was the correlation between United States and nazi expansionist policies by the war’s end that graduate students were embarking upon studies of it. Plainly, if the United States wished to assume moral high ground at Nuremberg and dispense anything more than mere victor’s justice, it was vital that the country do something concrete to distinguish the contours of its own process of expansion from that pursued by the men in the defendants’ dock. In essence, it was understood that the whole historical pattern of US territorial growth needed to be placed, post hoc, on a footing that could be projected as consisting of acquisition by purchase rather than conquest, and the sooner the better.
—Ward Churchill, from "Charades, Anyone? The Indian Claims Commission in Context," in the American Indian Culture and Research Journal
