Hiding likes has revealed how entirely unmoored my beliefs are. No sense of cohesion. I am liking things and then hours later liking quote tweets dunking on the very same thread. Not sure I even believe things at all anymore.

Louisvillians exiting 2024:

Who did Erichtho send Virgil to retrieve from the ninth circle? And why? In Inferno 9, lines 25–27 (Lombardo translation), Virgil says: “My flesh had not been long stripped from me when [Erichtho] forced me to slip within these walls and fetch a soul from the circle of Judas.”

They didn’t post it on Twitter so I’m posting it here because this is one of my favorite Louisville Men's Basketball videos ever
