This is absolutely not true, for the record, and I do not mean this as a defense of Heidegger but the record is crystal clear—he fucking HATED all the nazi pseudo-intellectuals, and even Oskar Becker (his own students and acolyte) he found intellectually beneath contempt.

the thing about online queer discourse is unless you dig into things it's hard to tell if someone is speaking from a place of nuance and decades of lived experience or whether you're reading the untested absolutes of the most 15-year-old alive

Arendt has a great, compact version of this at the end of “Truth and Politics,” which I taught for the first time in April 2020, as the Q stuff felt like it was crossing over into the mainstream by way of the anti-shutdown stuff. A very memorable teaching experience!

My Apple Music recap is doing a very funny woke: I have a playlist called “F***** Workout” that I listen to like 5x a week at the gym and it appears NOWHERE on my year in review. Do I need to tell it that I’m allowed to say that word??

People like the cold light of calculus until they’re left empty handed in the cold light of morning. then that good ol’ Kantian jewel that has its full worth in itself starts to look mighty purty!

Today in 1889, Martin Heidegger was born. Today in 1940, Walter Benjamin committed suicide.

Second Thursday in a row of teaching two classes, guest teaching a grad seminar, and then attending a guest lecture right after, and I feel insane. Not only bc I’m so tired but also bc I realize that secondary teachers do this much teaching day in and day out?? Fucking how?!?!

Worse news: there are uncountably many undecidable problems. Computers have been a scam this whole time

This is what I picture when some of y’all talk about Deleuze & Guattari

In the 1978 film The Candiate, where Redford plays a politician, you can see the full spectrum of tailoring language. Dark worsted suits, esp in pinstripes, call for neckwear. More casual jackets, such as tweed sport coats, can be worn with casual turtlenecks and chambray shirts.

Cormac McCarthy's tweed jackets. Very good taste in fabrics.

Sold a blazer today for 500 that I bought for 150 five years ago…I am king of business

If you are one of those people that posts the names of random brands in your eBay listings, I hope you have a terrible week. Fucking up my eBay saved searches, who even raised you??

Excited for my Phil of tech syllabus this semester which includes my most devious pairing ever…Haraway’s “Cyborg Manifesto” + Jünger’s “On Pain.” Get em all amped up about being cyborgs and then give em the ol’ “oh yeah you know else thought this shit was cool?!”

If there's one episode of TV I wish I could force everyone to watch and internalize, it's the 30 Rock where Liz, who has always seen herself as a bullied nerd underdog, finds out she's actually been hated all her life because she's mean.
