Days like today are the perfect reminder that Pompey Pedro is absolutely one of the best follows you can have. About 3/4 of the reason I'm still on this site. #Pompey

Finally, the #ManuscriptDigitisation Studio at the National Library of Egypt (Dar al-Kutub) is ready! After months of prep, the project kicks off with the “Mamluk Masāhif” — one of the Library’s rarest collections, which is listed on UNESCO’s World #Heritage Register.

Edward W Lane, one of the scholars Edward Said attacks in Orientalism, went to Egypt in 1825 because of his physical ailments, stayed for three years. He desired to live among Egyptians, and as (Muslim) Egyptians live: he gave up drink and pork, dressed as they do, went to mosque

Love this lad, and think he is likely to go on to have a beloved-if-understated status with Portsmouth FC fans when he goes. Has the right attitude and effort and so much of what counts for our supporters.

Really well considered and supported thoughts on the games and technology businesses. Essential reading if you are interested in those subjects.

🌦️ Spread good deeds wherever you can among those far and near like rain clouds— if they pour on soil or rocks they don't care. — Sirāj ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Sirāj (Cordoba, d. 1114)

—Cats and Dogs— 🦁🐕 Don't trust anyone— keep your distance and never let your guard down. Everyone's a dog on a lion hunt— until, that is, they find a lion. —Ibn Quzmān (Andalus, d. 1160)

Love this part: “I cannot control if my work makes me successful, rich, famous, fulfilled, appreciated. But I can make sure that it never makes me ashamed.”
