They think a great deal of their position; don't let one of them ever persuade you he doesn't, for if you were to proceed on that basis you'd be pulled up very short." a character in Henry James' The Portrait of A Lady, describing the "radicalism" of the upper classes.

@joeycomeau I just finished watching it. I often choose what to watch. based on a weird algorithm in my head and for some reason, I've ended up watching a lot of French New Extreme horror: Inside, Raw, Titane,Martyrs.

Based on the French films I've watched, there's a certain kind of French beauty whose attractiveness is so unworldly they can alternately be gorgeous models or evil looking freaks

@joeycomeau Yes, generally true. There seems to be a very specific expression of this in French movies though. And for the record, I'm not necessarily saying *I* find them freakish looking, but that they are presented as such. See Béatrice Dalle in Inside, for example.

@Aliteraryshadow i feel like models and people with otherworldly beauty in our society also walk real close to being evil looking freaks in any other context. It's the fetishization of heightened beauty features maybe?

The sort of writing that appeals to me and I think of as "good writing" is pros that pays attention to the rhythmic qualities of language and recognizes that those rhythmic qualities aren't only in things such as word sound and rhyme, but also in sentence length and structure

If you live anywhere other than the USA, and you post a tweet even slightly referencing what time it is where you live, you will always have to deal with all of the Americans who don't fucking know what a time zone is.

Part of my weird collection of old magazines are all these Spy magazines from the 90s essentially warning us about Trump. They used to refer to him as the "short-fingered vulgarian."

many doctors think they’re too intelligent to ever be wrong and that’s why half of them are fucking blockheads

People rarely seem to mention what an overly sentimental writer Stephen King is.

Common language ( though it's really the argot of the professional managerial class), but if you try to put your hands on what the report is really saying, good luck with that.

Anytime someone talks about academic prose being "impenetrable," I wonder if they've spent any time reading business reports. Sure, sometimes academics use big words,but trust me, the words have meaning. The business reports, on the other hand use what I guess is more
