@s_need22750 For me, it's the experimental Dr. Homunculus Manslave homage to American heroes Barney Frank and Harvey Milk.

Williamsburg is Sam’s timeless masterpiece. Reading hate facts about gay men, pedophilia, and AIDS in front of a NY hipster crowd. They start out laughing and gradually turn into an angry mob as they realize it’s not a bit.

everyone goes on endlessly about 2070 Paradigm Shift, but to me Sam's real magnum opus was An Inconvenient Anime. >40 minute powerpoint presentation he gave at a local Vermont anime con in 2012, playing a 'badass,' Sephirothian weeaboo character until he's physically forced out.

If you've bought a book from me, why haven't you posted a picture of it? Are you stupid? Do you hate me? Have I offended you in some way?

@IVMiles Show her 'Gettysburg' next so she can learn that the Iron Brigade did not, in fact, fight the entire war by themselves.

@EduardHabsburg @Vermeullarmine reminded me that the best speeches for this 🇫🇷 occasion are often the shortest: "Gently bend your neck, Sigamber; worship what you burned; burn what you worshipped."

Is it OK to celebrate 🇫🇷 14 of July by reading the speeches of Pope Pius XII to the aristocracy of Rome? Asking for a friend

@poperespecter1 Had something to do with the seven centuries of occupation by Arabs, Turks, and Mongols.

I am not a fan of the charismatic movement but Orthodoxy literally embraced Hesychasm in the 14th century which many scholars (e.g. Diarmaid MacCulloch, Petro B.T. Bilaniuk, etc) think was heavily influenced by Hindu practices.

This is a great example of what Walker Percy called 'abstraction', the obsessions with theories of life over life itself. We can't undo or unthink *any* of these things. It's just way easier to blame X or Y than to build a raft out of the shipwreck of 21th century loneliness.
Octavian 🇪🇺@posta_octavian

One reason why conservatives (and right wingers) hate Hegel is that the entire conservative intellectual sphere is all about one-upping each other with increasingly absurd and obscure points in history where everything supposedly went wrong. The rightoids love this stuff because it LOOKS like an explanation for where everything comes from, it's comforting and demystifies the world for them, so the cattle are very impressed when Dyer blames it all on nominalism, Peterson on postmodernism, Prager U on Marxism, Irvin Babbitt on Rousseau, etc. But seeing ideas as necessary answers to problems and contradictions of their time, as part of the historical development of thought, as Hegel did, makes it impossible to participate in this absurd race to the bottom. Nominalism was simply an attempt to answer the problem of universals, which was a real problem which needed a real answer. You cannot expect people to just stop thinking or to stop looking for answers at some arbitrary moment I'm time because you don't like what they come up with to solve contradictions or problems. A proper right winger is someone like Otto von Bismarck. Did he like German nationalism? No. But he made it subservient to Prussian interests and tamed it. Did he like liberalism? No, but he knew he couldn't pretend it wasn't an important force in society and managed them through parliament and mass enfranchisement. Did he like socialism? No, but he knew it responded to the misery of the working classes so he introduced social welfare, etc. He was successful because he recognised that these ideas have their necessary existence. Rather than try to fight them as these aberrations that shouldn't, he mastered them.

I'm using chatgpt to f around with a dataset (both build and stats) for a side project and I think it's finally good enough to do mostly trustworthy descriptive statistical work.

In retrospect it's fascinating, in a painful way, how Tumblr-derived Millennial Culture simultaneously revels in vulgarity and raunchiness while being selectively turbo-puritan and stodgy. All fueled by the "it's only okay when *WE* do it" double standards of identity politics.
Morayita@morayita123

I hate this. I hate millennial culture. I hate the uterus art. I hate the — toys at the grocery store. The Puritanical Zoomer brigade is coming to cancel you, and you deserve it.
