James Baldwin on Marlon Brando

The Founding Fathers were well-educated in the Classics, and very consciously created a system meant to make the emergence of a Caesar impossible. Unfortunately, it also seems to make a Solon or Cincinnatus impossible.

crazy that this thing is in almost every eukaryotic cell on earth and we don't know why

He too raw to be dating kylie atp he needs to take a racially ambiguous "model" with 10k ig followers and turn her up until she's a d-list celebrity with 800k followers and a clothing brand

The computer scientist Ryan Williams recently devised a mathematical procedure for transforming any algorithm — no matter what it does — into a form that uses much less computing space. “I just thought I was losing my mind.” quantamagazine.org/for-algorithms…

This is the stuff that happens when your towns run out of old white guys who worry about shit.

In 2009, the US Secret Service seized $6.4 million from accounts owned by Brazzers & Pornhub’s parent company because they had been wired nearly $9 million from Israel (and a few other financial fraud watch countries) over a 3 month period, presumably to launder the $ lol 👀

“Just think of the plight of a man who has no one to pray for him. And so, when you pray in the evening before going to sleep, add at the end, ‘Lord Jesus, have mercy on all those who have no one to pray for them’ and ‘O Lord, save all the unrepentant sinners.’” ~ Dostoyevsky

This argument has always bothered me because it's a profession of ignorance about theology. G-d engaged in b'ri'ah, creation, and then humans were tasked with yetzirah, formation, being good shepherds to the natural world, conquering and subduing and perfecting it.

This only happens to you once.

There are some things modern people can't really do anymore. One of them is build cities. Real cities, like Paris, or Barcelona or Madrid or Rome. Moderns can make something like Dubai or Phoenix. All we can do is preserve the ones that exist. We can't build new cities anymore. It's one of those things, we forgot how after 1920. Cities belong to history now. Similarly, if Catholic Church decided to abolish the office of the Pope, they couldn't replace it or bring it back. Moderns can't create an office like this. It has to have been created in the past and if it goes away, it goes away forever. They abolished the caliphate in Islam a hundred years ago, and they can't bring it back. It's never going to happen. There are some things we can't do anymore and if they went away, we can't replace them.

Reminder that a solid 1/3rd of Atlas Shrugged is the author self insert getting soft-dommed by a millionaire Argentine playboy and that this is actually integral to explaining her economic theory later on.
