crow vs seagull is one of the premiere bay area animal combats

For all their "greatness", the Greeks really lacked a lot of clothes... and arms

Ultimately, there are only three intellectual disagreements

In First Blood, Rambo beats up some cave rats (it's the most American thing I've ever seen, mind you). It's a pity the rats never come back in later films, perhaps with some sort of "Anti-Italian Rat Empire"...

ME: Good lunch today! Put together a mortadella sammy on some leftover focaccia, red pepper jam, mozz, arugula, and a balsamic drizzle. Really came together REPLY GUY: Nice job, that's a better sandwich than ISIS could make ME: Haha, yeah I guess REPLY GUY: eat shit @ISIS. do your worst

Inventing a "hysterectomy for men"

I think a true sign of deep reading (per the medievals) is updating Goodreads on progress every time you've read 10 pages

This is an assassination attempt

We've yet to hear what James Franco thinks if not says about AI. Keeps me up at night

I presume the pr0n bots follow us to find philosophical insight if not theological assurance

My purgatory will be explaining phenomenology's distinction distinction between experience and perception repeatedly to an obese Cajun Thomist who keeps fanning himself, eating Haribo, and muttering "hmmm... days not wha pappy thomas say"

In my experience: Canada seems like the only nation that would, for some reason, have a vice president but no president

Another historical inaccuracy from Nolan—IMAX had not yet been invented in the Mycenaean period, so this is not the aspect ratio that people saw in! Smh

Given the (righteous) hatred of lettuce, I am restoring the famed Forord BEEF AND CHEDDAR BLIMP, which will sky drop those Kroger B&C packages to people of all* creeds. Please make sure to tap your card on the meat before enjoying these succulent skygifts. *Maybe Huguenots; depends on my mood.

That game was a good metaphor for GK Chesterton: went on a surprisingly long time, he accidentally did one thing right, and then he was savagely murdered by Argentinians

I will write cover letters, I will not explore the Indonesian city pop scene

If the English hadn't turned to analytic philosophy, they would've retained the continental joie de vivre required to win

you don't HAVE to eat a mango today, but I suppose many if not most of you could. #mango #mangolifestyle

Note that an Episode I documentary revealed he had a shelf including all the CliffsNotes summaries of the great literature of the Western canon; AI is right up his alley

too few people saying "hubba hubba" these days... much to pray about

Going to Chicago for a weekend to see all the jazz clubs could heal me

You know you're getting old when you have to tell a danged cube to shut its yap

I presume every Ben Affleck role, incl. his continued acting itself, is a reaction to getting doused in white paint in Dazed and Confused

areadoug777: My wife likes the house so hot. I turn the thermostat down to like 65, and then my wife turns it up to 70. Joke’s on her. I wanted it at 70 the whole time lol. It’s all about how you play the game, fellas Jacques0: en france, we do not have this idea. this échecs de femme… uh wifechess

We should probably update Newman's quote: "To be deep in history is to cease to be protestant or a trad" Such updating is merely a development of doctrine, you see

Man, you can't take this guy /any/where in public

This looks like vernacular from Luther himself–a "Kraftausdrucksandacht" or "profanity devotional", if you will

I now embrace my typos as part of the medieval manuscript tradition and the cultural transformation of learning

In the classical tradition, the two area where the Greek citizens were supposed to speak freely without training were • the US constitution • film adaptations of ancient Greek (especially if they didn't know Greek)

Would that more accepted this reality

What does one do for a weekend in NYC? I wonder if there's art if not culture

Wait... Hamann rules

The Dingus Equation

I've always appreciated how most of the world calls him "GWF Hegel" out of respect for his Teutonic majesty, while several Brits just coldly called him "Georg Hegel". You know, Georg Hegel–that weird Swabian who lives next door, swills beer, and loves Napoleon a lil' too much

Everything Merleau-Ponty said about the phenomenology of little ones is true and beautiful (No, I shall take no follow up questions)

There has never been a recipe that calls for a convenient amount of tomato paste

Grateful I've yet to encounter anyone who has identified as a "huge Alien Ant Farm fan"

New binary of Bsky users just dropped

Using a serif free accent to be a man of the people

Sickening but expected: I've yet to hear any Jurassic Park dino pay tribute to Sam Neill

What the mix of Weird Catholic Twitter and Notre Dame do to a felluh

Happy Monday, team

I like academics who primarily write on matters scholarly and noble, but then quietly release weird books on how Vatican II changed our view of the gut biome

mandatory reading

They die in threes but, at this rate, the other two will be the Frisch's Big Boy and the concept of "slow burn comedy"

Sitting down with a group of foreigners, explaining to them with my indoor voice the difference between normal "patriot" diarrhea and this new "terror" diarrhea. The important thing to do with the new type is PANIC.

The next looksmaxx should the the hapsburg jaw

I think a netflix reboot of Heidegger would work well. Pedro Pascal also has a mustache and wears male clothing

I am revisiting Tomás Kalmar's Alfred the Great book and am delighted by a description I'd missed the first time around: "blob of glup" (describing Otho A.xii after the Cotton fire). Scholars, live your life so that you can say "blob of glup" in the culmination of your life's work.

uh...yeah, I was testing it, too. I love science... esp that which I can conduct, alone, scrolling reddit and sedevacantist singles dot va
