its all good top to bottom, but take a song like getting killed against his various bible story tracks, the narrative range is just astonishing

all the ppl using the "listen to his solo stuff, he writes rly good songs!" defense to disdainful critics, but the funny thing is even fewer people have heard his unreleased stuff which is so good as to not hardly be believed

@cherealstars1 Saw your reply. Just want you to know I’ve never told anybody not to make eye contact with me. That is just ridiculous. And the next time you see me please look straight into my eyes.

The Brooklyn band Geese was labeled an “industry plant” by those who questioned its sudden ubiquity. Maybe it was. wired.com/story/geese-ch…

the animating spirit of modern sexuality is deeply performative. nobody is fucking so everybody feels the need to signal that they have a functional libido. thus the reification and constant talk of agreed-upon/trendy sexual signifiers such as “goth girls,” armpits, etc

@YaGotBlieve2022 @JoyceCarolOates both of these things are true, the widespread uprising brown predicted didnt materialize, which lowered his long term chances of success fighting a guerilla war from the mountains, but he was also unsuccessful in the short term by his own choices
English
@JoyceCarolOates WHOA!! John brown’s raid failed cuz black solders didn’t show up? NO!
Two black soldiers were killed partaking in the raid.
Two more black fighters were caught & executed.
The raid failed because brown & the rebels mistakenly let a train go to town which warned the authorities
English
well, no. John Brown was a self-ordained Christian martyr who killed a number of (pro-slavery) people & tried to lead an uprising in which enslaved Black men would join him & his small contingent of radical abolitionists; but the Black soldiers did not materialize, & John Brown was captured.
however, John Brown sacrificed his life voluntarily in the service of ending the "abomination" of slavery. he has been a hero to some, a madman to others, a traitor, a Transcendentalist idealist, a Christian who acted upon his particular interpretation of Christianity. he did not believe in compromise, hypocrisy. he would be confronting ICE in MAGA-America & would probably kill or be killed in that effort.

The first person ever executed for treason in the “United States” was put to death for freeing enslaved people. Let that sink in.

@KaiDaigoji @IanMCusick the whole trial and breakdown of the raid is very interesting and his motives in real time are a little fascinating to speculate about
English
@KaiDaigoji @IanMCusick in his trial he denied this, he stated he only planned to free slaves around harpers ferry, as he had recently done helping a family of midwestern slaves escape to canada. but he did explicitly plan to start a wider rebellion and a campaign of guerilla warfare
English
John Brown is an absolute badass but saying he was put to death for freeing slaves is watering it down like crazy lol

@John_ForemanCBE @thostalk why? this is a perfectly valid point. we have every piece of evidence needed to know that an extermination program has been underway since October 7th and to deny that is moral cowardice

The secular mind is always trying and failing to make something that is deeply spiritual and ineffably sacred into something casual like making dinner plans
New York Magazine@NYMag
“I think my husband is, bar none, the sexiest person on the planet, but we also regularly talk about people outside our marriage who we find attractive — not in any lascivious way but casually, as if we were discussing weekend plans or what to have for dinner. Some friends I’ve told about this can’t believe we talk so openly about this kind of thing. But I can’t really imagine why anyone would opt for the alternative,” writes @ejdickson. If your partner has a face with eyes and ears, and has not been chemically castrated, of course they’re going to find other people attractive. Why be dishonest about it — especially when it provides an opportunity to talk about anything other than this week’s grocery list or parent-teacher-conference schedules? Dickson writes about how having crushes while being married can be healthy and speaks to people who say that crushes have only strengthened their long-term relationships: nymag.visitlink.me/qMGG3n

@SkinnyTuna speaking anecdotally i feel like its a combo of huge influx of new fans/this is the first time ppl are realizing how many other people are into a show that was relatively obscure until this year
