Image by Wal­ter Crist As far as enthu­si­asm for board games goes, no con­ti­nent has yet out­done Europe. Its advan­tage could lie in the high­ly devel­oped cul­ture of low-cost leisure evi­dent in quite a few of its soci­eties; it could also owe to the fact that board games seem to have been played there con­tin­u­ous­ly since antiq­ui­ty. We’ve long had evi­dence of exam­ples like the “Roman mill game,” bet­ter known today as nine men’s mor­ris, which Ovid appears to men­tion in his Ars Ama­to­ria of the very ear­ly first cen­tu­ry. Not that mod­ern knowl­edge of Roman table­top gam­ing is com­plete. In…

I recently heard from a historian of science at All Souls College, Oxford. He forwarded me ​an essay​ he wrote about Nicolaus Steno, a seventeenth-century anatomist and geologist who was later ordained as a Catholic Bishop. Steno’s training as a scholar unfolded in a period challenged by a novel problem: information overload. Here’s how the essay describes it: “Books were a leading distraction in the early modern period—and how envious we should be of those times. From the 1500s onward, with the development of the printing press and the humanist revival of ancient philosophies, knowledge became available at a much…

The Pixar name used to signify indisputable quality for an animated film, but their light has dimmed in the past decade with a string of underwhelming releases. While Luca, Lightyear and Elio would be considered solid hits by any other studio’s metrics and Elemental and Inside Out 2 certainly brought home the bacon, there’s a sensation that the studio has become a victim of its own success and seems content to now coast by on the strength of former glories (Toy Story 5 hits cinemas this summer with The Incredibles 3 currently in the works) rather than innovate. To their credit, Pixar seems to keep hiring…

Every generation has their fair share of protest songs. When there is government turmoil, civil unrest, a war or whatever event occurs that rubs people the wrong way, we get a protest song. I asked AI what is their definition of a protest song and was given this excellent definition: A protest song is a musical composition that conveys dissent, social critique, or a call for action against injustices and prevailing political, social, or environmental conditions. These songs serve as, or are adopted by, social movements to raise awareness, mobilize communities, and articulate grievances. The 60/70’s had a bunch of protest…
