Who Needs #Empathy? Why Some White Nationalists Condemn Western Civilization

The answer should remind us that men like #Musk don’t base their political positions on the ancient world any more than they do on smart economic policy: they create an ancient world that conforms to their political positions. …"

pharos.vassarspaces.netWho Needs Empathy? Why Some White Nationalists Condemn Western CivilizationThis post is part of a series on Elon Musk’s interest in Greco-Roman antiquity. Read part one: “When the Richest Man in the World Loves Classics.” A few weeks ago, Elon Musk took a break from dismantling social security, violating the privacy of millions of Americans, firing veterans, and increasing, not decreasing, the cost of […]

I don't work on ancient sculptural #polychromy (or ancient art at all for that matter), so it's not surprising if I'm clueless on scholarly discussion of the problem @yora points out in this post: mastodon.gamedev.place/@yora/1

But maybe somebody in my network is?
To paraphrase Yora: given the coloristic(?) sophistication of e.g., surviving wall painting from Pompeii and Roman-era mummy portraits from Egypt and much else ancient art, aren't modern reconstructions of sculptural polychromy wildly simplistic and is that partly because we're only able to sample, when anything of the pigment remains at all, the initial undercoat?

Gamedev MastodonYora (@yora@mastodon.gamedev.place)Allegato: 1 immagine Attempts at replicating the paint jobs on ancient marble statues always looking pretty crap might be because the traces of pigments that can be recovered from the surface of authentic statues are only from the very first coat of paint. Given that we have plenty of mosaics, and actual paintings on wood from Roman-period Egypt that have a lot of detail and shading, it seems almost certain that the final paint job on the statues would have been much more elaborate as well. #archaeology #history

By way of @rogueclassicist and Chuck Jones' Ancient World Online (AWOL) blog, I see that this open-access ebook (available also in print) is now available:

Sarah Derbew, Daniel Orrells, and Phiroze Vasunia, eds. Classics and Race: A Historical Reader. London: UCL Press, 2025. doi.org/10.14324/111.978180008.

"... provides scholars and students with an exploratory intellectual history of the complex relationships between Classics and racist/anti-racist thought-systems. It collects together a series of readings of historical primary sources from the late medieval period until the mid-twentieth century, bringing to light how the classical tradition and post-ancient constructions of race have informed each other. Each reading is accompanied by an essay, written by a leading specialist who offers a discussion of the primary source..."

I picked this film in Steel Magolias up at a local video shop that opened up last week and I had this on VHS and DVD decades ago but it was lost in a move and since it's Easter themed mostly, I spent my time watching this one.

This shows why Dolly Parton continues to be a awesome woman especially as she stole the show.

Don't forget pre-Pretty Woman Julia Roberts is in this one as well before she became really famous.

The 4K UHD version of Steel Magolias where the cast is embracing each other.

LEGENDBORN by Tracy Deonn (in progress)
Wanted to read this for a while now, and it’s quite good so far! Pacy, intriguing, and not too hormonally YA so far.

PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen (in progress)
Because I still seem to need comfort re-reads, and there’s no better one than P&P. I’d forgotten how relentlessly paced this. But I hadn’t forgotten how snarky 😊
