@JohnIsner @BenSasse John, one of these days would love to hear more about your faith and the faith of many who were also on the tour.

Thank you @BenSasse for your courage and wisdom in your final days. Profoundly inspiring.

Hot take: Meddy is the third best player in the world.

Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev play an INCREDIBLE point in Rome. Covering every inch of the court. Fantastic volley from Jannik to finish it. Brilliant tennis. 🤌🤌🤌

He is unstoppable without Carlos in the draw. It’s difficult to watch.

Jannik Sinner playing FLAWLESS tennis from the baseline against Arthur Fils in Madrid. He is an absolute brickwall… and then he just unleashes on the forehand. Unplayable. 🦊😮💨

@AmyLundyDahl Korda didn’t react because he was not about to get in the way of his opponent’s struggle.
English
Michelsen complains to the chair that Korda is catching too many tosses to avoid the time violation.
To say that Korda had zero reaction to that would be a huge understatement. Textbook nfg. Then Alex gets on that side and has to catch himself 🤭 It’s windy !!

Tender Mercies is magnificent. His conversion happens across the entire run time of the film, and he doesn’t even notice it until the very end.
Giancarlo Sopo@GiancarloSopo
Everyone will remember Robert Duvall for The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. Rightfully so. But as we celebrate his life, seek out the performances that meant the most to him: Tender Mercies, where he found God in a quiet Texas town. The Apostle, which he spent 13 years getting made. His family asked his fans to honor him by “watching a great film, telling a good story around a table with friends, or taking a drive in the countryside.” That sounds about right to me. RIP to a legend.

@AmericanGwyn Dante’s love for Virgil is one of the reasons he is able to make it out of hell. Is it any wonder that modern education makes it so much more difficult to escape the damage of evil??

I’ve had this thought so many times, but I’ve never been able to capture it with the precise, eloquent language of Ian’s post below.
Many of those working in the Interpretation Economy aren’t trying unpack or enlighten: they’re just vandalizing the masterwork of giants.

It is the evolution of the lit bro into the sad deconstructer and destroyer who can logically obliterate any great author. They are here to tear down every idol of our past, and replace them with mid modern authors that politically align with their insane worldview.
English
@AmericanGwyn @TheSimonEvans @YouTube His love for literature enables me to forgive some if the weirder commentary. Imagine Lit profs who loved their subjects like he did.
English
@TheSimonEvans @YouTube It’s fashionable to slag him off, but I love him. I can’t think of anyone who loved Literature more.

Harold Bloom interview on "The Western Canon" (1994) youtu.be/S9ieF7LVbyI?si… via @YouTube
I watch this every so often and it always makes me feel his profound love and regret afresh. If I could choose to spend a few days in the mind of just one man from the last half century or so Bloom would be on a very short list. Despite the profound melancholy therein.

@AmericanGwyn As a conservative in the small circle of very liberal philosophy majors, I learned to argue like this, centering the working class in most discussions, and it went a long way to expose bias and privilege.

Something I’ve learned from being a professor for two decades is that while many academics fetishize the *idea* of the Worker, they’re deeply uncomfortable with blue collar people, and they have a particular disdain for men who work with their hands.

The reader can find Dante as their humanities teacher and their spiritual director.

In the middle of another read of Dante, and it always strikes me as odd that he imagines himself in the great lineage of epic poets (Homer, Virgil, etc), which would normally be considered hubris except for one thing: he was right.
