Pythagoras required of his initiates 6 years of silence. Demanding people lurk before posting is our oldest mystery religion.

@ync1994 @TheLastRefuge2 there's no weather forecast that would prevent the meeting, which supports Sundance's position that the camp David meeting was never going to happen and was used to flush out a rat in the admin.

this might sound stupid to someone with a better understanding of these types of systems, but I've noticed something with the X algo that I haven't really seen for other platforms: the for you feed persists across devices in a way I haven't noticed on other platforms, as in, if you open X on a desktop browser and in the mobile app at the same time, when you refresh them, they share the exact same stream of posts. It feels like other platforms (and X until somewhat recently) would have an unordered collection of post IDs that would be updated however-often and then be randomly served on refresh.. but X seems to go a step further and determines the order that posts will be served. literally none of this matters and I hate that I'm fixated on it right now but maybe rambling about it will set me free.

King was open about his feelings on this version for a long time. Remember, this 1983 interview was in the middle of King's full-blown cocaine and alcohol addictions. If you've done yay like that, well, common sense and self-reflection tends to take a back seat. Kubrick's style is long, slow tracking shots used to build tension. Even in a 2-hr movie, that time commitment to detail limits the amount of time available for plot development, especially when compared to a 400+ page novel. Kubrick never had the bandwidth available to develop a "slow descent into madness". He had to show Jack going nuts almost immediately, and he did. That's a feature, not a bug. But mostly, King's absolutely awful need to write deus ex machina endings is just not gonna fly in any Kubrick film. No one ever walks out of a Kubrick movie feeling good. And I think King took the alternate ending, with no redemption of Jack, as a personal insult. I think in later interviews, King was much more complementary of the original film version, once he sobered up.

"What’s basically wrong with Kubrick’s version of 'The Shining' (1980) is that it’s a film by a man who thinks too much & feels too little; and that’s why, for all its virtuoso effects, it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should." --- Stephen King Full Excerpt: "Stanley Kubrick‘s version of 'The Shining' (1980) is a lot tougher for me to evaluate [than 'Carrie' (1976)], because I’m still profoundly ambivalent about the whole thing. I’d admired Kubrick for a long time and had great expectations for the project, but I was deeply disappointed in the end result. Parts of the film are chilling, charged with a relentlessly claustrophobic terror, but others fall flat. I think there are two basic problems with the movie. First, Kubrick is a very cold man—pragmatic and rational—and he had great difficulty conceiving, even academically, of a supernatural world. He used to make transatlantic calls to me from England at odd hours of the day and night, and I remember once he rang up at seven in the morning and asked, “Do you believe in God?” I wiped the shaving cream away from my mouth, thought a minute and said, “Yeah, I think so.” Kubrick replied, “No, I don’t think there is a God,” and hung up. Not that religion has to be involved in horror, but a visceral skeptic such as Kubrick just couldn’t grasp the sheer inhuman evil of the Overlook Hotel. So he looked, instead, for evil in the characters and made the film into a domestic tragedy with only vaguely supernatural overtones. That was the basic flaw: Because he couldn’t believe, he couldn’t make the film believable to others. The second problem was in characterization and casting. Jack Nicholson, though a fine actor, was all wrong for the part. His last big role had been in 'One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest' (1975), and between that and his manic grin, the audience automatically identified him as a loony from the first scene. But the book is about Jack Torrance’s gradual descent into madness through the malign influence of the Overlook, which is like a huge storage battery charged with an evil powerful enough o corrupt all those who come into contact with it. If the guy is nuts to begin with, then the entire tragedy of his downfall is wasted. For that reason, the film has no center and no heart, despite its brilliantly unnerving camera angles and dazzling use of the Steadicam. What’s basically wrong with Kubrick’s version of 'The Shining' is that it’s a film by a man who thinks too much and feels too little; and that’s why, for all its virtuoso effects, it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should. I’d like to remake 'The Shining' someday, maybe even direct it myself if anybody will give me enough rope to hang myself with." (From Stephen King's interview to Playboy, 1983) P.S: On this day, 46 years ago, "The Shining" (1980) had its limited release in the USA & Turkey.

@ChristianHeiens which is unfortunate, because we couldn't even do the mass deportations in exactly the way they were pitched for more than a week before half of the base got cold feet.

Friendly reminder that the Danish government forcibly closed the sociology departments of the University of Copenhagen in 1986 because they had been completely hijacked by Marxists who converted them into ideological indoctrination centers. What must be done to the American university system is just as drastic, but it would require conservatives to abandon their commitment to procedural neutrality and wield an extraordinary amount of state power without hesitation or apology.
Brandon Warmke@BrandonWarmke

Probably no more than 10% of the American professoriate are unreconstructed Marxists. Many more are Marxist-adjacent and like to strike the pose. The more interesting fact is that in 2026 most academic departments would be more comfortable hiring a Marxist than a Republican.
