The 'Marxists' buried Marx, never forget. Read from the source, read again

Fuck bsky

Holy shit the RCI cope.

Read this in school and left a profound impression on me

Why do the farmers who need to maximize the area of their property in those optimization problems in calculus make a rectangle?? A circle has more area…

I truly fell in love with this book when I was made to read it. It’s beauty and prose sticks well into a nice corner of my mind, this edition with this cover in particular.

Kyoto School of philosophy is actually kinda peak right about now…

Hate reading Garners Modern English Usage to reminisce about the points taken off of my essays in 8th grade because my teacher was illiterate

What are we doing here mane ?

General tips for reading comprehension in L2: 1. Do extensive reading. Read and read fluently non-stop for extended periods. You don't need to understand 100%, just keeping continuity and basic comprehension is good enough to get satisfaction out of reading and for optimal language gains

When ever I made some sort of web app and I have to use a framework it just makes me sad because most of the time these projects don't really need this complex reactivity. I just want to use good old JavaScript and some templating engine like handlebars

Now online: 'Marx and Engels as Polyglots', by Kaan Kangal.

Shouldn’t css definitions most naturally follow the order of adjectives in English grammar? All we’re doing when we use css is describe how something (hopefully) looks… like an adjective

Did not expect to see ‘Uhaloa and Ilima on the side of the mountain. Combined with an Iwa bird I dont know what else I could have wished for. Really is just a reminder that you can see the true colors of the land of you take a closer look

NPR says “a free press is the key to a functioning democracy” but if you have to say such a thing to get money doesn’t that imply that neither a free press nor a functioning democracy have ever existed together and democracy depends on a bought out press to channel will into bourgeoisie legislators

You don't know how much this song means to me

The Hawaiian endemic lobeliad, Trematolobelia kaale, growing on the boggy peak of Mt. Ka'ala, Oahu. Being the highest peak of O'ahu it receives significant precipitation, creating a unique insular habitat hosting several rare endemic species adapted to boggy conditions. #nativeplants #hawaii #botany

Even at its conception Utah is the strangest thing. How would I explain to a non-American that a state seen as no different from others is pretty much a holy land for a fringe religious group (and rock climbers lol) and nobody questions it?

I’m a Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse hater

Nothing but peak. Western light novel readers should be jealous. Well, perhaps not because this book doesn't objectify female characters or depict them in weird sexual ways like most light novels tend to do.

I will break my own rule to not post about American politics to say that Zohran Mamdani is just going to be a disappointment to anyone who expects anything of substance from him. And I can't wait for him to slide into obscurity as New Yorkers find out the joy of broken social democrat promises.

The most interesting upcoming thing in data science to me is authorship attribution. What you say completely anonymous is no longer private by any means

I gotta clean up my ~/Downloads folder. The wonders of the world sit there never touched. I have downloaded a bunch of Anthropology textbooks, random specific native botany research, masters thesis about Marx and Hegel, and a wealth of Japanese materials. I will share what I find →

- Rosa Luxemburg, Reform or Revolution | Chapter 7.

なら has its own grammatical nuance, it’s not simply just the ば form for nouns It is common to see なら attached to a verb (whereas western educators would dismiss this function), however, in its usage it has specific requirements on the tense of the attached verb

One of the things I hated more than being lonely was people with a martyr complex who would come up to me. No matter if they were genuinely trying to help even a little I can’t stand performative actions in social contexts. It reflects badly on your character

I don’t think it’s controversial to say house plants don’t exist. Plants really are not meant for indoor conditions, though, it doesn’t mean it’s not possible to grow something indoors. For plants to be healthy indoors it takes a lot of attention and accommodations which otherwise wouldn’t happen

The best code I've ever written was this ttsu-reader QoL improvement. My imprint highlights are so pretty!! p::selection, rt::selection, rb::selection, ruby::selection { background: #00032d03; text-shadow: #0009 1px 0 7px !important; }

People have no memory and forget how trumpian authoritarianism was built by democrats and Bush working together to militarize both the police and Israel simultaneously while getting Americans very used to the child cages built during Bush and Trump here and abroad! Biden kept many of trumps policies

chomsky.info/1994____02/ This is certainly another perspective buy there is something to be had about this interview in regards to the modern political institutions responses to recent happenings like the Trump Assassination, Luigi Mangione, and the Israeli Embassy Shooting, etc etc.

Common mistake by English speakers speaking Japanese. English is the strange language for being not dropping pronouns. Orientalism in linguistics has rotted the brains of far too many. I am mostly ∅ (null pronoun) and so are you. Source: Japanese_ A Linguistic Introduction by Yoko Hasegawa

Relevant Marx quote to the 'We need to rebel against the use of AI in labor' arguments Source: Communist Manifesto

Lichen!! If an expert sees this tell me what kind it is

> Making Sense of Japanese by Jay Rubin Ah, the most interesting Japanese language learning book I’ve read, but perhaps not in a good way. My full review will come soon enough in this thread.

Every bookish person I’ve met irl has never failed to mention George Orwell like that’s gonna impress me. I’ve come to find out that all of their info on him comes from liberals on Instagram reels and Wikipedia Please do not treat that wack ass man as a great personage

Marx’s statement on protectionism has shocking resemblance to what Leftcoms have always been saying about National Liberation

何かとお世話になっているgoo辞書さんがサービス終了💦 紙の辞書も良いですが、こちらの『○○を含む』とかで検索できるのがすごく助かっていたので、さて困った 電子辞書、どこのが便利なのでしょう #Vtuber準備中

I'm recalling some early conversations I had at the start of the present AI boom. People were worried that AI threatened art. AI doesn't really threaten art; the human will to create is too great, and the desire of humans to commune with one another through authentic art can't be taken away.

All my homies hate Carl Jung

It’s unworldly to hear that there are people who can’t stand to be in their own heads even for just a few moments. Some days I look down on those people and see everything as so silly and other days I would pay absolutely everything to get out of it for once

Bordiga hits yall

The internet is getting worse everyday, at least I have Touhou 14

You can call me cringe, but don't you dare call me a "leftist".

Only those who don’t understand Marx and misunderstand Lenin could think Stalinism has something to do with either one

So new idea. The debate between light mode and dark mode has gone in too long. My business pitch is to have a color scheme that changes throughout the day in nice little soothing waves that come down the screen

pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... Ethnobotany is such an amazing field and the most amazing part about it is the success of traditional medicines. Humans and animals have been medicating using plants for years beyond our knowledge. I have a project related to this that I am working on

今日、見つけた！天気がちょうどよくて、海が特にきれいだった。美しい花も海亀も見た
