@bigsexyklaus @husafell_stone ...go on.

New book.

The artist's last name is literally Schmalz.

The CBC's retarded accessibility policy is but a sideshow to the horror of aged boomer rock stars exhuming a corpse for a few bucks. Rush has only one drummer. Putting this YouTube whore on stage defiles Neil Peart's work and memory. I spit on everyone involved.

Do you mean Montesquieu or Montaigne? Montaigne's essay on cannibalism is so similar to the passage here on it (down to the implication of Christian cannibalism) that I would be surprised if he was not referencing it directly. Would check it myself but I am away from my library at the moment.

@hyperaphorist And Rousseau did enjoy Montesquieu, but there was also the possibility that he read Léry directly. I will research this later. Thank you for your comment.

In 1555 Villegagnon had the idea to found a colony in Brazil where the persecuted Huguenots could live in peace. He asked Geneva to send 'ministers' and other artisans that could help with the colony. The author of the book Jean de Léry, accompanied a certain Jacques Rousseau.

@sow413 @GraduatedBen Americans love and respect the Japansse not for what you did but because of what you are. Please do not ever forget that. The world needs a strong and proud Japan.

To my American friends, I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen. When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close. For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough. But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying: “Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.” No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again. Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸 This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together. To the American people: We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, America. The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever. #PhoenixRising 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸🌸

@vonstrau @sportdrink You'll love it unless you're totally gay.

Finally pulled the trigger and bought some @sportdrink! 2 cans of “No Yellow 5 Lemon Lime” and 1 can of the “Live Laugh Lemon Lime” energy mix. Sorry it took so long, you’ve deserved my support for a while now. I hope I love it.

You think to yourself "social media is poison it should be illegal to build" and then X turns on Japanposting and you realize it's not social media it's the craven, impotent and spiritless bastards who have been building it.

He is notably treating being a lame duck like a gift and not a curse, in another demonstration of why he is a superlative President and the primus inter pares of United States citizens. Every other politician would be thinking of "securing their legacy" in the form of a library no one visits or a Netflix show no one watches. Trump on the other hand understands that the greatest legacy he could possibly achieve is securing a future for the American people, without regard for his personal social standing or safety. Truly courageous leadership.

Consistent pattern you'll see from now-2028: >Trump wades into controversial subject/policy >Creates maximum fallout on himself among people who already hate him >Vance/others are elsewhere doing impactful work and politely nodding Ex: Right now, Trump is prosecuting a trifling military affair in the Middle East while Vance builds what is essentially a purpose-built internal governmental tech company to root out waste/fraud and abuse, overlapping fixing immigration and massive defrauding of our taxpayers, saving untold billions and dismantling the system that is subsidizing the destruction of the country. Meanwhile, there are things you don't hear about unless you intentionally step out of the torrent of Current Things... Did you know we're currently building more border wall than at any point in history under any administration? That's not propaganda from the admin, that's alarmist reporting from the Washington Post. Yet what do you hear about... Iran? In 2028, Trump is retiring, people forget that. He knows it too and is acting accordingly. Many things get buried with the scapegoat.

@SperglerAcolyte Recommend checking out Strauss's works on Xenophon.

First date idea: I take you out to dinner and ramble about professional wrestling with such an intensity that, though I insist I “know it’s not real” several times, makes it pretty clear that I do think it is in fact very real

@BaileyisBratty You really should loose a few before opening your mouth again.

btw, successful and desireable men are not on the internet insulting random women for the hell of it

@qualitylearnc She doesn't know.

Yes, we are

Ebony Nuance III, Esq. PhD (Education) looks up from her copy of "The Souls of Black Folk" to cross reference something from "The Wretched of the Earth". Satisfied with the connection she had made, she turns to the unfinished NYT crossword resting next to her collards and biscuit. On the column before her an unfinished word: S__VE_Y. "Not exactly stuck in the Caucasus." She chews her pencil with her gleaming white teeth. What could it mean?

@MattWalshBlog AI's thirst for word vomit ends only in death.

One thing that AI just absolutely cannot do is write conversationally. If you ask it to generate a book report or a presentation for work or something, it might be able to produce something that looks almost human. But conversational writing means putting the words down on the page (or screen) basically as they appear naturally in your mind, in a manner that captures the emotional essence of what you’re trying to say. AI has no mind, no essence, and no emotion, so it struggles with this. The problem is that conversational writing is a skill. Some people have a natural talent for it, some people don’t, but you have to do it to get better at it. Pretty soon we will live in a society (maybe we already do) populated by people who are technically literate but simply do not know how to express their thoughts and feelings in writing. How could even the most avowed AI enthusiast fail to see why this is a bad thing?

The number of people who clearly use AI to craft basic posts on this site, and replies to posts, is pretty shocking. Once you learn how to spot AI writing, you see it absolutely everywhere on here. It’s unmistakable. The tech has existed for 10 seconds and already huge swaths of people have completely given up on even the simplest forms of creative writing.
