The word 'generations' in phrase 'These are the generations of...' can be spelled 4 different ways in Hebrew, all with the same meaning:
Full: תולדות
Partly full: תולדת or תלדות
Short: תלדת.

The phrase 'these are the generations of...' occurs with full spelling only 2ce in OT:
Gen 2:4 "These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created"

and

Ruth 4:18 "These are the generations of Perez; Perez fathered Hezron..."

The rabbis 'pinned' a rather beautiful piece of biblical theology to this otherwise incidental spelling fact:
The full spelling in Genesis points to the full perfection of the created order in its original state, before Adam's sin.
And
the full spelling in Ruth points forward to the full perfection of the created order when it is renewed by the Messiah Himself - descendent of Perez.

Mike Minor is having a terrific season, but how in the world is he leading the American League in Baseball-Reference's pitching Wins Above Replacement? Let's take a look (warning: mega-thread commencing)...
Like with position players, WAR for pitching tries to find how many more/fewer runs someone was worth compared to league-average, then convert that into a win total. Throughout MLB history, roughly every 10 runs a player adds/subtracts, or a team scores/allows, is worth 1 win.
The two main components of Pitching WAR are simply runs allowed and innings pitched. This will get you most of the way there in figuring out a pitcher's WAR. It uses runs allowed instead of earned runs because we'll get to defense later and don't want to double count.

Welcome to this week's live tweet! Today, we revisit our articles from last week (thread here: ) This week, we have special guest faculty member Professor James Uden. @i_nurmi opens the discussion by returning to a critical question: why Latin and Greek?
Though last week's discussion was fruitful and evocative, @i_nurmi points out that we skirted around and didn't really arrive at the ultimate question of why these classes are important, and how we convince our students these are important.
A big problem here is the perception of Latin as a "prestige language." A cohort mentions a panel at CANE last year with pushback against Latin as ID'd as "prestige Latin"; one panel speaker gave e.g. of students finding value in the language *because* of this identity...

I am here at the lovely Holiday Inn in Rosalyn where the purported Mueller accuser Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl were going reveal is a no-show but they are promising that sometime in the future they’ll have have her in person sometime in the future
Wohl is ragging on the media for "breathlessly" reporting on the bizarre payoff scheme claims. No one reported the claims -- which circulated in a mysterious email days ago -- until Wohl/Burkman started hyping their accuser, and every report noted the sketchiness of the email .
Someone brought a blow-up Trump rat to the hotel parking lot. This “circus” is why the purported accuser is not here, Wohl said

1) I’ve re-written the start of this tweet storm 5/6 different ways, but it ends up the same: the #NXVIM cult has so many separate lines of inquiry that it’s too early to really understand it. But some themes are starting to emerge, please follow along.

2) This is going to be disjointed, stick with me and join in because I think this story lays themes & foundations for what’s going on in elite circles for sex trafficking & may even touch at the edges of things more devilish. Oddities and observations...

#MAGA #TheStormIsHere
3) Building a picture of what this cult is, the first oddity? Being based in Albany, NY. Albany? Then I started to consider why. Albany is the seat of the NY government, and deeply tied to NYC, where a lot of elite people live; have certain proclivities.
