Learning metaphor from the master (W. Benjamin)

A question for anyone impressed by this argument: If your son died suddenly of a rare disease tied to a gene in your bloodline, would you say the boy had earned his fate? Would you say he deserved to die? The kid would have died "by the nature" of being your progeny.

@Emir0521 @Vladislava237 Same I was really pleased to learn the word interpellation for how I had come to understand unconscious assortment into classes and social spheres. I came upon it because Proust used the word interpellation for the same concept, 50 years earlier. Common French meaning I think

@Vladislava237 @wokeberia I was just shitposting, but I do rly like his anti-Humanism actually and the state apparatus and focus on structures and institutions is really intuitive to how I see society as well

Top minds of the last century; 1. Fouseytube 2. Louis Althusser 3. My Mom 4. Herbert Marcuse 5. Hasan Piker 6. Sneako 7. Michel Foucault 8. Professor Jiang 9. IShowSpeed 10. Kamala Harris

@Vladislava237 @Emir0521 Interpellation is a pretty cool concept

@Emir0521 Why Althusser?

@Return2Order For me it was telling off gl*nn gr**nwald and lionel trilling—they were both being annoying but it’s still sad to not see their tweets.

@wokeberia The only time i've really ever been moved is when I found out BAP blocked me…but I do have to ask myself why

I am the most hated girl on this app

@QcHst17 heat map meme but for situational decoupling

@wokeberia conditional affinity. just like racism - ‘love thy neighbor’ just has a very selective neighborhood

Do the internet racists who dislike hypotheticals have an answer for « there but for the grace of god go I », or is their affinity for religion purely performative?

@JadeCatboy cool

@wokeberia Both my high school and college had both honor codes they made us sign and proctors during major tests

I didn't know that was happening. No one else does that. I think maybe Princeton professors have been rubes since 1893.

@JadeCatboy The places with honor codes often have no proctors. That may change…

@wokeberia And also proctors, generally

Some of you guys are alright. Don't be alive on May 15, 2026, when I set off the global pandemic which shall come to be referred to by the struggling, tormented survivors as "The Event".

@JeremiahDJohns @BlueRepublik Have you seen his commencement speech where he discussed this? Powerful imo x.com/AbdulElSayedHQ…

One of the worst things Donald Trump ingrained into American politics is the idea that if your base likes you enough, you never have to back down or apologize for anything. Does it matter whether Abdul ever got his medical license, or treated patients, or had a residency? In the context of a Senate run, not especially, if we're being real. But it seems indisputable that he was deliberately deceptive about using titles like 'physician', playing up his doctor credentials, talking about how he 'healed people', etc. And even if you want to say that's a gray area rather than a straight up lie, people used to be embarrassed by that kind of deception. It used to be normal for politicians to apologize for things, scandals used to matter. Trump has taught everyone that you never need to apologize, ever. Double down. Triple down. Caught lying, or doing something immoral or shady? Mock the people criticizing you. Rally the base around you, attack rather than defend. You're actually PROUD of whatever they're mad at. Trump proved that as long as your base is rabid enough, this tactic works. And I hate to use overly dramatic cliches, but this kind of thing is poisonous to the soul of the country.

@asparagine_tg @AbdulElSayedHQ @umichvoter Wow Check this out @umichvoter

@AbdulElSayedHQ phenomenal speech - wouldn’t you agree @umichvoter or are you still hung up on the whole doctor thing with the person that literally received their doctorate?

@woscasfrench @mouse_math not even math

@mouse_math Can’t believe no one said fluid dynamics

what's the most annoying field of mathematics?

19-year-old prodigy composer Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 1 premieres in Leningrad, Soviet Union.

@JClayton177456 @NYTimesPR @IsraelMFA @nytimes He is an opinion writer

@NYTimesPR @IsraelMFA @nytimes Why was Kristof's column placed in the "Opinion" section of the paper?

Months ago, the Civil Commission approached the New York Times with a report on Hamas’ systematic sexual violence on Oct. 7 and after. The @nytimes said it was not interested. This comprehensive and well-documented report was published this morning by CNN and other international outlets. Aware of the report and its release date, the night before its release the NYT ran a shameful attack on Israel, belittling Hamas’ sexual crimes. That tells you everything about the NYT's agenda.

@umichvoter This is embarrassing for you btw
