So I looked up this turtledove character, he has a PhD in Byzantine studies. Why the fuck is a Jew so versed in the eastern Roman empire, the seat of orthodoxy? The definitive Christianity, not all the other breakaway heathens like Catholics and the rest
After dropping out during his freshman year at Caltech, Turtledove attended UCLA, where he completed his undergraduate degree and received a Ph.D. in Byzantine history in 1977. His dissertation was The Immediate Successors of Justinian: A Study of the Persian Problem and of Continuity and Change in Internal Secular Affairs in the Later Roman Empire During the Reigns of Justin II and Tiberius II Constantine (AD 565–582).

Nice long PhD dissertation title, stupid.

Pretty sure he didnt even mention Harry until he was banned and others were mentioning them in the same tweet.
as soon as he got his twitter back he started posting this 'brothers in arms' bullshit. Fatty didnt give a fuck until he was banned and saw it as another coat tail to hang onto.

Following the outbreak of a Jewish revolt against the Byzantine emperor Heraclius, the Sasanian Persians were joined by the Jewish leaders Nehemiah ben Hushiel[6] and Benjamin of Tiberias, who enlisted and armed Jewish rebels from Tiberias, Nazareth and the mountain cities of the Galilee as well as from other parts of the southern Levant, after which they marched on the city of Jerusalem with the Sasanian military. Some 20,000–26,000 Jewish rebels joined the war against the Byzantine Empire.

He's just reliving his one of his people's greatest betrayals.

it's already 7:30 pm in Niggeria and no update from Ooga? last tweet 5 hours ago

I've gotten a US Visa (b1/b2 tourist+business) and they tell you on the spot if it's granted, the same person that does the interview

maybe it's different if he requested one of those "notoriety" visas for being a big name in the field of SF/F? still weird that no update this late
