They don't wanna adapt Troilus and Criseyde because they don't wanna dispense no redpills on no two-timin' hoes

It's interesting that no filmmaker today would dare touch the "Aeneid" in a serious way, despite its status as a foundational Western text. Why? Well, let us count the ways. If you thought the nerds were uncomfortable with Homer, they are absolutely terrified of Virgil. The Aeneid has everything an epic needs (doomed love, fast action, battles, destiny, etc.). But its main themes are about duty, responsibility, and the cost of empire. These concepts make the nerds squirm in fear today. Today's "critics" would denounce it as blatantly nationalistic and imperialistic, instead of seeing it as a opportunity to understand Rome and its foundational myths.

I have missed you all. I mean this sincerely. Thank you for your friendship.

@Neorio12321 There's no other time in history to which I'd rather bear witness

@zermatist To be fair though, it's a fascinating biochemical experiment to see what the hell actually happens when a woman produces a child that is largely the product of ADHD meds, psych meds, fat loss meds and YouTube nutrition slop. Like baking a bunch of a Hitlers on steroids.

The people who think Ozempic will lead to a baby boom are deluding themselves. If anything, it will further lower the fertility rate. Big fat trashy women know what God put their bodies on earth to do. Lithe, elegant women are prone to forgetting it all too quickly.

@zermatist Will Stancil simply craves abuse and, much like a battered woman, will go wherever it is provided.

Unrelated, but one time on an old message board I did everything possible to convince everyone to accept a highly autistic person and make him feel welcome and everything, and I actually kinda made it happen, but then he instantly got bored and stopped posting on the forum.

This is Will Stancil’s final tweet. He hasn't tweeted once in 2026 because his entire comment section becomes WSS memes. This must be how cats feel when they find a mouse to bat around and play with but they have a little too much fun and end up snapping its neck. Miss him. 😔

What an absolutely barking post. Wrong about medicine, wrong about theology. Impressive really.

RIP. Nocturnus' debut album The Key is arguably the first Technical/Progressive Death Metal album. I'm gonna listen to The Key and the 2 sequels he made with Nocturnus AD.

RIP death metal legend/sci-fi death metal godfather Mike Browning of Nocturnus/NOCTURNUS AD. “Before Christ - I ruled the land… After Death - I will rule once again!”

For all the people doubting me, just remember: they were able to make 58 entire episodes of a reality show entitled "I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant."

@zermatist That's the great thing about ozempic, though. We're unleashing waves of women who are hot but aren't neurotic, barren, sporty hags with eating and digestive disorders.

Not gonna read all this, but if we're going to have extended moral quandaries about whether or not to recline, we should do the same about the much bigger issue of flying coach while fat
The New Yorker@NewYorker
On August 24, 2014, James Beach, a six-foot-one businessman from Denver, was returning from Moscow when he deployed the Knee Defender—“a $22 gadget,” the Associated Press reported, “that attaches to a passenger’s tray table and prevents the person in front from reclining.” The woman in front of him, unable to lean back, flagged a flight attendant. From there, events spiralled. Beach removed the Knee Defender, but then became upset when the woman reclined forcefully, risking damage to his computer. He confronted her, pushed her seat forward, and tried to reinstall his device, at which point, he said, she turned around and threw her soda at him. The plane was diverted to Chicago, where it was met by police, and news coverage of the event led to conversations about reclining one’s airplane seat. “The bottom line is that reclining is a social act in an environment of social stress. It involves deciding whether to inflict your will on someone else, and enduring or resisting the effects of someone else’s decision,” Joshua Rothman writes.

New. It's just some literary criticism
English
@redrummarts Yeah, I just mean this more in terms of popular reception. If you play this track, people aren't going to say "it's rock music with emo vocals," they'll just be like, "Oh, it's emo" or maybe pop-punk. That's how powerful the whiney vocal style is.
English
@zermatist I wouldn't say this sound is all that characteristic of most of the popular emo/goth bands honestly
Most sound more like different strands of alt-rock. My Chemical Romance is probably the closest with some Zeppelin like classic rock stuff but still mostly guns for alt-rock/metal

It's interesting that Satanism, while not being LaVeyan necessarily, still winds up just being about things that Anton LaVey was into
Stereogum@stereogum
“I thought they were like Black Sabbath, but they ain’t,” outlaw country artist Charley Crockett said after dropping Twin Temple from next week’s shows due to their satanic imagery. “Not today, Satan.” Today Jack White blessed the devilish doo-wop duo with a gig offer following their fall run with Danzig. “We were actually planning on coming to this show,” Twin Temple responded. “It would be a most infernal pleasure to play the devils music with you.”
