@MARSAYLAH_ @asimmon93 @bomani_jones Stafford was legit a come from behind statistic fringe t-10 QB his entire career. Like wasn’t even better than Prescott til he got to the rams which had a system in place built for him to succeed. His legacy has done a 180 since joining McVay

fun fact: basketball reference has his hof probability at 85.7 percent.

Ok this is a hill I will die on: the perfect career is Kyle Lowry. You get the experience of being a superstar, but you aren't so iconic that you can't exist in public. Beloved in a single city. Unknown in most of the world. Won a title. Won a gold medal. Made money. Did it all.

I know I am not American but I will see major entertainment figures like Tarantino, the Southpark Guys, Shane Gillis, the Beastie Boys entire generations of White guys just desperately wishing that Black People like them or think they are cool.
It is super weird once you notice.

Minstrel shows have been completely erased from the cultural memory, to the point where virtually nobody can recognize references to them. But we still have taboos around things related to minstrel shows. But most people can't discern why those things are taboo.
Sensurround (センサラウンド)@ShamashAran
@eigenrobot So, you know why you don't see it? Because the characters the crows are copying are culturally extinct. They are basically copying old minstrel show characters. Very few people alive today recognize the reference, so it doesn't seem racist anymore. This is a good thing.

@miltonappl3 JG Hamann for me appears preeminently preoccupied with such connections. Lessing referred to him as a "test of manhood" for those who claim to be polyhistorians
English
It's hard to know how much an author reads but for their reputation for reading and their desire to connect to the preexisting pipe organ of the Western canon. I don't want to read someone who doesn't read: they don't know how all the literal bits go together. It sounds like a young child who has never seen a piano before palming one by an escalator in a mall

@miltonappl3 Having (tried to) read gargantua in translation, can't help but feel that knowing french would have made for a more enjoyable experience
English
Gargantua and pantagruel, Tristram shandy, the final third of Don Quixote (it was like coming down a holy mountain and I was tired and wanted to go home because the view was over and such). Leviticus and Numbers for most my life until I read coulanges and now it's so so so exciting, Blake, plotinus, Epictetus

Dear Philosophy Twitter,
If Socrates were alive today — what would you ask him?
I am currently writing a philosophical dialogue titled The Socratic Answer — an attempt to let Socrates confront and answer the deepest philosophical questions once and for all.

@jeremypgordon Pete is probably the most violent character; punches guy on train and schoolmaster, lane fight
English
Unlike many of the great TV dramas, MAD MEN is almost entirely free of violence—plot lines do not end conveniently when someone is killed, nor can the audience derive catharsis from watching a villain die. There aren't even any villains, except for Lou Avery and the Jaguar guy

@PunishedMaydolf @FrenlyOfficer For an extra fee would you add a custom 7" marking too?
English
@FrenlyOfficer Alternatively, I sell custom tape measures that have the 6'5 marking in the exact spot as the height you are
English
Obviously, he should show up. But he should’ve put his height as 6’5 because then he has plausible deniability.
Alternately, he could change it just before his date and gaslight her that she misread it
Murray Hill Guy@MurrayHillGuy1
My friend is who is maybe 5’6 put his hinge height to 6’4 and now has 300+ matches (lesson in that) Has a date tonight with a smoke show… He is unsure what he should do? Cancel or show up?
