@CheeseForEvery1 @rtlcactus @ingelramdecoucy That hurts to read. Frog is from one of the greatest video games ever.

@rtlcactus @ingelramdecoucy I don’t know, I just googled Frog of Honor

Wife: “You didn’t take the garbage out like I asked you to” Me: “How can you know that?” Wife: “I’m looking in the garbage can, it’s still full” Me: “Is it the same garbage that was there this morning? Have you verified that it is?” Wife: “No one’s been home all day, how could the garbage bag have filled up?! Just take the garbage out” Me: “How did it fill up? I can think of dozens of ways it could have filled up today, maybe hundreds. It seems like you’re throwing out some very concerning allegations that you can’t back up, do you think that’s appropriate for someone in your position?” Wife: “I won’t be ‘in my position’ for much longer is you keep this up, just take out the trash”

@JamesFi47362177 @Women___Exist @RoisinMichaux It's a stupid definition.

@Women___Exist @RoisinMichaux What's wrong with this? He gave his fucking definition.

Berkeley gender and race studies students were given the task of creating and editing Wikipedia pages and filling them with critical theory/queer propaganda instead of submitting final papers — for over a decade. “It’s about who controls knowledge.”

@DavidAFrench Correction: that's everyone

One thing that's always been obvious about postliberalism, "tradlife," etc. is that it's actually quite shockingly libertine. They claim they're for order yet routinely yield to their basest instincts. Even when they're not sexually libertine, they embody the works of the flesh from Galatians 5: "hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions." That's the new right, ladies and gentlemen.

@Suitpossum I'd recommend The Shallows by Nicholas Carr, and also Superbloom by the same. The Shallows specifically deals with how our braina are being rewired by the internet, as opposed to the age of books.

Marshall McLuhan is famous for his observation that the form of a communication technology can shape our mind and society The age of the printed book, for example, carried with it a particular way of being. Regardless of the differing content of different books, all books required a particular mindset in which a thread is followed from the beginning to the end through an arc I feel the age of social media is like the age of a ripped up book, as if we were surrounded by torn shards and shreds of paper floating like confetti around us. We grab for them, hoping for some tiny insight, but not having any way of knowing where it fits in the overarching narrative This note is one such shard. You can toss it away now

@KingBolingbroke Not since Jackie Kennedy*. Of course, that ended up being very sad.

@ingelramdecoucy "Wait, she has a point." -Me and my future 10 children family.

Homeowners say owning a home is the best friggin thing ever, you should absolutely do it, don't wait till you have 'enough money', etc. so i'm a lil confused why homeowners don't buy as many houses as they can? You'd think once you know how great it is you'd try to go hard

@mycaredge Question for you. My car got totalled, and I have a rental for another couple weeks or so. Looking to spend ~20k (maximum first year deduction for business vehicle). Am I better off just holding out for a but, or are prices going to be slow coming down?

@NCDOT_NC12 @NCDOT_NC12 any update?

@IvanVendrov I once got called into meet with the chair of the department and the professor because I told another student she was wrong in her interpretation of the the text. This was in a master's program.

Wow did not expect to become main character this way. Seems like a culture clash between my community's norms (directly stating disagreement is a mark of respect) and hers (disagreeing so directly is disrespectful, reads as putting someone down) Sad because I really do think the Hegelians have something important to say about AI and how we can respond to it psycho-socially

@TheLeeGreenwood did you autograph a photo to the painter Andrew Wyeth at some point?

@petulad @ingelramdecoucy you are needed

@saletan Who is saying all those quotes, Will? Do they all happen to be the same person?

Hegseth says he'll bring "warrior culture" to DOD. "But it’s not a war against foreign enemies. It’s a war against Trump’s domestic opponents." He says he'll focus on "merit." But "the hearing showed he would replace left-wing bias with right-wing bias." lnk.thebulwark.com/4afbyrX

@FrHarrison With all due respect father, what do you think happens to babies with deformities today?

ummm some would literally let their newborns drown if they werent the right sex or had deformities, and some pagan cultures performed human sacrifice. this is a take that…wow but also proves a theory of mine: “masculine christianity” movements are more pagan than christian

@eigenrobot I've read like 6 dresden files books, so presumably one of those.

what's the best thing you've read this week?

@Spivonomist @Goodtweet_man There's a fantastic account of the Merrimack and the Monitor in Battle Cry of Freedom.

USS Merrimack. Retrofitting iron cladding on a wooden hull was possibly the most brazen move in shipbuilding in the previous thousand years.

@senatorshoshana Now let's see him fix the travesty that is alcohol laws in PA generally. (I live here.) Also can we get rid of the Milk price control board?

@aelfred_D @EsotericCD Slight correction: "Forward, not backward. Upward, not forward."
