JC: “What about the parts of the prophecy mentioning the ‘Slaughter of the Sacred Gorilla’ and its role in bringing about the apocalypse?” HC: “Just forget about it. We don’t need to ban it. Everyone’s going to call him the ‘Mad Arab’ after he publishes this. We would be wasting our efforts.”

Tag yourself, I'm the common ancestor of a frog and a zebrafish

The vitriol being directed at Lupita Nyong’o and Christopher Nolan is about a refusal to view Helen of Troy as anything other than an avatar for the right’s own psychosexual fixation on whiteness as goodness. Homer has nothing to do with it. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

US universities genuinely are like “welcome to Tennessee Agricultural College in Bumfuck Nowheresville. We invented the modern potato and our facilities include a particle accelerator, nuclear reactor, and TOP500 supercomputer. Tuition is $12,000 for instate students and we have 40,000 of them”

thinking about another one of these listening to the @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode on GRIT, and how a basic problem with all of these education reform ideas is that they can't actually acknowledge the frame in which the question "how can we make schools better" is being asked.

"[T]his isn’t about winning a single election. It is about taking the steps necessary to make a rebirth of a more robust civic democracy possible. There is simply no excuse or rationale for leaving any lawful tool unused in making that happen."

Really thought-provoking how the Internet menswear expert is also a master of rhetoric

hark! a vagrant is really one of the greatest comics ever created, my favorite is still an outraged sasaki kojiro holding up a list of necessary components for a duel that just says - dudes - swords

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBAALLLLLLLLL

SCANDAL: fish sold as fish

The shock when you first read "Bartleby, the Scrivener" may be in the recognition that Melville had this pre-vision of modern alienation back in 1853. You can't grasp how this specifically modern man was formed in that mid-nineteenth-century setting. (1972)

you don't kill the food

Absolutely over the moon about this. If you've not read my HUGO NOMINATED book-length essay on Sandman, it remains free to all at www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-cud...

Incredible thread

"In another era, in another culture, this hubristic assertion of having discerned the golden path to the inevitable future would be grounds for charges of heresy or blasphemy. The egomania here is astounding, no less so than that of a character who fancies himself Fate (and/or Death) incarnate."

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

You misspelled Pachycephalosaurus an understandable mistake to be sure

This article is very dumb and naive about how the music industry works. There is not and never has been a path to making a music career that doesn't involve some professionalized mechanism for getting the record in front of fans. Used to be that was radio and magazines, now it's tiktok, so what

Ok I'm bored and want to procrastinate work so let's do a thread instead. Wanna hear a story? Alright then, story it is. So gather around, children, because now we're going to talk about the most important science book you've probably never heard of. Ready? Off we go, then.

I went and saw Project Hail Mary. A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie. Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that. He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.

Most of the obvious ones already there, but I do think about this one whenever I see a bee

That's right

basically none of the solar existed before 2020 and none of the batteries existed before 2024. biggest technological revolution of our lifetime:

lmaoooooooooooo

This is how the world learns that Curt Kirkwood is in a band with Mike Watt and George Hurley???

the types of podcasts: a guide

a thing I particularly love about it is that it comes at the end of this record that's full of big world-sized concerns, and then you get the reminder that while those are important, the human experience also includes a sulky lovesick young guy writing a banger about how his girlfriend did him wrong

Assume we have a strait opener

"We truck the water in, fill it up. It’s about the size of an Olympic swimming pool. . . once we start it up, we turn that pump off and it operates under a thermosyphon. The density-driven differences from the cold water and the warm water coming out." fuckin WHAT

Why does my copy of Hedda Gabler contains so much stock text in Latin? (Looks at title page) Oh.. it's the version written by Lorem Ibsen

I used to date a circus clown but he stood me up when we were meant to go to the shoe store on the big buy-one get-one sale day to shop for kinky 60s dancing boots. I often wonder what might have happened, had we stayed together. I have a lot of Bobo BOGO go-go no-show FOMO.

For MAGA-fascists, it is ideologically necessary to believe that military power derives from manliness and masculinity - that war is fundamentally a gender problem (though they'd never frame it that way). As a result, all failures must be from insufficient manliness and can have no other cause.
