A simple OTD would do.

• i was just copy pasting an amusing reddit header. didnt bother to see if it was likely ai/bot generated. then it reminded me of this meme that was going around a couple of years ago that men think about the roman empire every day.

• turns out snl was not a university grade education. if only we had the internets in 1980 to set us straight. now roman public toilets were a marvel, just a little too public for my taste.

getting my thinking about rome in early along with a slab of judean history. 

slim pickings in rome related content today but i got there.

phew! just under the wire. autoplayed on my youtube feed.

shit just keeps happening.

this one is a stretch especially as i only listened for about 10 minutes but it was part of the roman empire and mentioned a handful of times in the prelude to something i couldnt be bothered to finish.

watched a four hour ww1 doc instead but not a peep about caesar though the word tsar is derived from caesar so in a way he loomed.

•  after which i was wondering about trench warfare.... well, wonder no more, kids!
