β¨The Gallic Sack of Rome - Part 6!β¨
390 BCE is finally coming to a close! As expected, there are similar elements in the ancient sources, but it is astonishing to see the different way the authors weave the details together.
It is not often that Diodorus Siculus is praised for his accuracy, but this is one of those rare moments. Camillus is on a military rampage. Forget the Rocky training montage that Livy includes. This is a Rambo montage, with Camillus kicking ass all over Italy!

- Use Insta and swap to something for messaging (Signal is a great choice!)
- Move away from Insta to the Fedi (if you can; some ppl rely on it for income, I know.)
- Let Mark "I creep women and steal their selfies" Zuckerberg spy on u.

"The proposed laws hammer Appleβs App Store and Google Play with compliance requirements but reportedly spare social media platforms [...] a competitive strategy that shifts liability from platforms to operating system makers."
