Teacher, Latinist. Neither the son of true believers nor of good reputation. Once translated Marcus Aurelius, but I don't speak for him. (Neither of us speaks for UVA.) Minor outlying island. Searchable. Can serve briefly as a boat.
UPDATE: I'll still be checking in here from time to time, but I think I'm going to be mostly on Bluesky going forward. It's where most of my people are, and being able to find and easily follow people is just a huge advantage over Mastodon.
Gonna try out this BlueSky thing.

The Supreme Court avoided disaster when a chunk of marble fell in a courtyard used by the justices

The Supreme Court avoided a catastrophic accident last year when a piece of marble at least two feet long crashed to the ground in an interior courtyard used by the justices and their aides. That's according to several Supreme Court employees. The incident has not been acknowledged publicly. It took place in the spring of 2022, as the court already was dealing with death threats and other security concerns before the justices overturned Roe v. Wade. No one was injured when the marble fell. The employees say Justice Elena Kagan and her law clerks had been in the courtyard earlier in the day. They say the piece of marble was big enough to have seriously injured someone.
