why is this mayoral election different than all other mayoral elections?

in all other mayoral elections, we get to see andrew cuomo lose but once. but in this mayoral elections, we get to see him lose *twice*.

My department at Princeton is hiring an assistant professor specializing in the study of early Christianity. First round materials are cover letter, cv, and writing sample. Letters will be requested for later stages. Deadline: September 30, 2025.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Carrie. I know this pain well and am sending so much support. 💔

Our search for a tenure-track colleague in Early Christianity continues! (Last year’s search was among those canceled due to budgetary uncertainty.) This search is at the assistant professor level. More details in the linked description below; review of applications begins on September 30.

Pride of the Yankees: Three days with Aaron Judge on the road to immortality In New York, where greatness isn't enough, a Yankees superstar fights to become a legend.

Sometimes the strangest opportunities arise, and this was one of them. Last week, Wright Thompson invited me to a Red Sox/Yankees game to talk about ancient sacrifice for his piece on Aaron Judge. Sadly, he left out the fact that I showed up in Red Sox gear!

Let me tell you why this is not a joke...

Of course!

I most definitely just bought this to wear in week 3 when I teach about monotheism (and teach this text!) :)

Clearly I missed the party plane! (That’s what I get for flying out of JFK.)

I think when it comes to P’s idea of sacrifice, it doesn’t work. The Girardian focus on killing/violence as the operative act is fundamentally at odds with how P presents its own theory of sacrifice. Not that there isn’t a literal scapegoat in P, but it’s the one sacrifice that isn’t killed.

That’s the best to see her with your kid! Such a great photo, too.

Amazing!!

After a long hiatus, I’m returning to this side of social media and this is the kind of content I’m here for. 😻😻

It has been an honor for my English edition of P to be included in the World Literature in Translation series at UC Press, not least because it makes this important text accessible and affordable, especially for classroom contexts. I was very excited when they were also willing to publish the Hebrew text and have been working with proofreaders and production on the ebook. However, when I received the print editions last week, I was surprised to see that the Hebrew section had been paginated left to right. After following up with the press, I was informed that this was the only way they were able to print the book. Unfortunately, this was not communicated to me earlier in the process. Nevertheless, I am pleased that this paperback remains very affordable ($24.95). Please note that this is not a problem with the ebook, which is available in PDF format ($24.95). Discount codes: Through 5/10: MAY40; After 5/10: UPCSAVE30
