You can still type a sym­bol orig­i­nal­ly invent­ed for Cicero near­ly 21 cen­turies ago — at least if you con­fig­ure your key­board prop­er­ly.  The char­ac­ter ⁊ appears in Uni­code as U+204A, but is bet­ter known as the “Tiron­ian et”: the “et” is Latin for “and,” and the “Tiron­ian” comes from its cre­ator, a man named Tiro, or in full, Mar­cus Tul­lius Tiro. Tiro was­n’t a rel­a­tive of Mar­cus Tul­lius Cicero, as you might expect, but rather his one­time slave: after being eman­ci­pat­ed, he not only took on two of his for­mer mas­ter’s names, but also remained his sec­re­tary and con­fi­dant.…

Recently, I went to see Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey in beautiful 70 mm at the Filmhouse here in Edinburgh. I was completely blown away by its scale, ambition and visual beauty, but I was also troubled by its relationship to Homer’s original text, the changes to the story, to Odysseus’ character, and to key elements of the plot.Then I saw it again, and something changed. The second time, I was able to put aside my expectations of what The Odyssey should be and see it on its own terms as Nolan’s version of this ancient story, reimagined for a new generation. I realised that my resistance the first time wasn’t really…

It is still hot out there and so are the new releases. I’m curious on the new Judah & The Lion as they always have a cool vibe that I can get in to. I’ll check out the new Ann Wilson album and that might do it for me this week. What do you want to hear? Let me know and as always, thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend.

Inflation crept back up in July, though not by much. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.1 percent last month, a modest reversal after June’s 0.4 percent decline. The year-over-year rate eased slightly, to 3.4 percent from 3.5 percent. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, told a similar story. Core CPI rose 0.2 percent in July after being flat in June. The year-over-year core rate ticked down to 2.5 percent from 2.6 percent — another small move. Last month’s headline decline was almost entirely an energy story, as oil prices moderated with the anticipated reopening of the Strait of…

The Dallas Stars are still one of the perennial favorties to win the Stanley Cup coming out of the Western Conference. But what made them successful was the youth movement they had coming from the AHL as well as the value on the books. With Mikko Rantanen, Jason Robertson, Thomas Harley, Miro Heiskanen, and Tyler Seguin being paid the most on the team, the Stars are trying to value other players on the roster. NHL Rumors: Expect Quinn Hughes and Cale Makar to Reset the Market Again They thought they had that with Logan Stankoven and Mavrik Bourque. However, given…
