A wooden #Roman sword, found in a fort at Oberaden (Germany). It is pretty much full-size, so was probably a training sword rather than a toy. It is not a tradition straight sword, but a curved sica - a blade originally from Dacia & Thrace, & also used by thraex-type gladiators #AncientBlueSky

Excellent piece. Needs more em dashes ... (Seriously, though, I find myself using them *more* now. Pry them from my cold, dead hands, robots!)

I'm not entirely convinced that the people who spout the "threes and emdash are red flags" nonsense are entirely literate. It's almost as if those are tried and true satisfying writing devices and, like, basic punctuation😭

Glad to see the Nerd Reid getting well-deserved attention; great conversation with @gilduran.com & @bcmerchant.bsky.social. If you care about democracy, call out politicians, university admin, & investors shilling for the AI industry. www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/charting-t...
