@stonershelb I was gonna engage with this thread, but most of the replies gave me a headache, so instead I'm gonna list a bunch of sources for folks who want to explore European folk cultures in a non-racist way:

Normans: hey wherever we go, and we’ll go everywhere, let’s build a massive palace whose distinctive style will be visible for a millennium

@Aboubarchos To be fair, it would probably unite everyone else against the random Bonaparte they stuck on the throne

This state would make Lebanon look social harmonious.

@HorsesAreBetter Oh thank goodness, I am glad to hear you got some good news. You absolutely deserve it after what you've been through

My doctor basically floated into the room with a huge smile on his face. He was beaming with joy and couldn’t let us ask any questions first because he was so excited and ready to show us my MRI
MRI on left: yesterday
MRI on right: February
Chemo continues for 2 months !

tomorrow is my next MRI and oncologist appointment at UVA 😵💫 hopefully there has been improvement on my damn tumor sizes. even just a tiny bit!!!!!!!!

@constans @atlanticesque As someone who's theologically liberal but liturgically conservative, kinda glad it plays out this way

@atlanticesque Protestant with arm tattoos and a soul patch: you’re about to hear a message about how gay people are going to hell and Harris is going to bring forth communism
Protestant with full robes and a censer: you’re about to hear how Jesus is, if you think about it, trans

@LadyDemosthenes @venus_weeping Honestly, your grasp of color is still way better than hers. I really like the one on the left

@venus_weeping I’m just a hobbyist myself!
I’m certainly not out there trying to call a man’s art, whose books have sold in the millions world wide, “degenerate” and “ugly”!
English
@SenatorLuma @Undue_Risk I think there's an assumption they evolve to live on land, given that some species can already spend a short time out of the water
English
@Undue_Risk just totally locked out of like all metallurgical technology ever. could you even build shelters beyond “coral, seaweed, lose rock”

I’m not sure it’s a great mystery why asocial creatures that don’t live more than a couple years and pass immediately after reproduction haven’t developed civilization
Hank Green@hankgreen
Primates have existed for 50 million years, octopuses for 100. There seem to be some interesting constraints at work here that we do not really understand.

Megha's understanding of art, as far as I can tell, basically begins and ends as a consumable good (the junk food vs healthy food comparison) that can convey status. She really doesn't think of it as beautiful, despite constantly using the word.
Megha@megha_lilly
Instead of getting the Hungry Caterpillar for my children I got “A Butterfly is Patient”. Why? Because children deserve beauty rather than ugliness. It nourishes their spirit in a healthy way. Ugly art is junk food poison for your children. You were told to get Hungry Caterpillar by an insalubrious culture. Resist. Get your children books that depict nature in its true resplendent beauty in anatomically correct images that will help them identify things like caterpillars and butterflies in the real world. This is what they deserve. Let the blobby artists starve on their own egos.
English
@LadyDemosthenes If you look at her own art preferences, she's slavishly devoted to what she considers Classical art, but her own output is more the sort of thing you'd see on Victorian candy boxes.
English
The Very Hungry Caterpillar was never meant to be a scientific study of the lifecycle of the butterfly.
It’s a children’s book that teaches counting.
Carle’s artistic technique involved hand-painting and layering tissue papers. It’s a style utterly his own and it captures textures, shades, and layers in a beautiful and vibrant way that painting does not.
His books are whimsical and simply written and perfect for very young children who are captivated by the vibrant colors and layers.
Children deserve whimsy. Eric Carle delivers on that.
Megha has no taste. It’s not her fault, she just likes to make her lack of taste very publicly known.
Megha@megha_lilly
Modernist artists call their ugliness “their style” and people think it’s sophistication to call ugliness beauty. But Eric Carle’s art is a profound disrespect both to nature and to children. Children deserve beautiful art by Sylvia Long. Reject ugliness. Even if it’s “nostalgic”

@feanorslegacy What's wild is that Islam has its own rich musical tradition, including sacred music.
English
Music is older than Islam by the way and a core aspect of being human
©@puzlou
No, Islam prohibiting music and clubbing culture does not make it “extremist”

Today is the 162nd anniversary of the Circassian Genocide
It is a horrific tragedy that effected Circassians, Abkhazians, the Abaza and many Caucasian peoples. We remember, we haven't forgotten, and we wont forget.
We honor those who died fighting for freedom and honor the dead

@QgFyBpM0ho5D45j @Brien_Jackson Meal time at your place sounds incredible

@Brien_Jackson It is bizarre -- O'Leary is a jerk but the defenses to what he said are deranged.
My family's basic weekly diet:
- 1 roast salmon
- potatoes & pork chops
- lentils, chili, pasta & sauce, rice
- Thai curries
- tuna sushi (homemade)
breakfast = eggs
lunch = sandwiches

You are being confronted with middle and upper middle class people telling you how they actually eat and you can't even process it because your brain is so full of TikTok bullshit. You have a legitimate problem and genuinely need professional help.

we are the richest country in the world why SHOULD I eat like a peasant?

@WASPmexicano It's not even good land! His examples are both wooded hillsides!

It's that easy folks! Just drop $10,000 on a "plot of land" and then grow enough to feed two adults and an indeterminate number of children. Also do not worry about healthcare insurance or any amenities beyond vegetables or grains. Have at it!

Repentance is when you want to starve to death marrying some dork who has escapist rural fantasies
Death Defeated@DeathHadNoPower
@MitraHispana @Imperator117 @WASPmexicano If she was truly repentant and of a changed heart she would not seek worldly desires and material things. She would be ok living on a 10k plot of land growing food and making do with a husband and having a family. Figuring it out as they went. Thats a changed Christian woman

@DeathHadNoPower @WASPmexicano @jmibullfrog @MitraHispana @Imperator117 Man, that's smack dab in the middle of Appalachia, that's not good land for farming, no wonder it's so cheap

@WASPmexicano @jmibullfrog @MitraHispana @Imperator117 Taxes are low
You eat what you grow and get some animals
Cows chicken sheep
Books have been written on one acre farms making over 100k

@BestCoastBrian Back in the 60s, the machinists building nukes would us plutonium shavings to light their cigarettes
English
Yall should search for the plutonium fire experiments from the 60s. If you’ve never seen multiple kg of plutonium on fire it’s life changing
Casillic@Casillic
Plutonium part being created with the dry-machining process developed at Los Alamos. Because plutonium is a pyrophoric material, the oxygen level is usually kept below 0.2% by filling the glovebox with nitro gen or an inert gas like argon Dry process no lubricants so less waste!

Today in AD 1219 saw the death of one of the greatest knights ever.
He served five kings, defeated hundreds of knights at tournament, and saved England from French invasion at the age of 70!
This is the epic life of…

@AndrewKosz1984 @NaturalMagic777 @Candelarius2400 @BretDevereaux Ehhhh, I do think he's right in that there is a shift in meaning that's actively happening. "Complicated" has become a favorite weasel word of late for "something that's bad, but we can't say it's bad." E.g. "Henry Ford had a complicated legacy"
English
@NaturalMagic777 @Candelarius2400 @BretDevereaux "Complicated" is absolutely not just a euphemism for "kinda bad in a way I won't articulate." It is a versatile term that can describe men positively, negatively or ambivalently. If John Shaft can be "a complicated man / But no one understands him but his woman," so can Odysseus.

It has always struck me as a bit bizarre, the person attached enough to Homer to critique individual words in a translation, but not attached enough to learn Greek or how the LSJ works.
But for the sake of some public education, let's talk about πολύτροπον. 1/

You've really got to read this whole exchange to understand how funny this is. I promise it's worth it. This guy's a professor and can't even read a dictionary. They're all this dumb or dishonest btw.
