@JacobAShell @herandrews It’s almost not worth responding, but the point isn’t that any particular person in the movement can’t read, much less the leaders, but that it’s a hyper simplistic theory of class grievance for people with no ability or desire to think beyond the single slogan.

Is there an actual theory or book behind "21st century Third Worldism"? I don't mean 1970s Third Worldism, I mean this new thing which is alleged to exist (but...does it?).
English
@mr_scientism This is what the problem of deep pluralism in liberal democracies. The legitimation narratives of the past are unable to mobilize people anymore, so what’s left?
Fear narratives about the (nonexistent) threats of communism, fascism, authoritarianism, etc is what mobilizes now.

@JohnsonBec32985 @thamosdeaf He liked Ellison and referred to him frequently. Morrison, Baldwin, Wright occasionally. Clearly wasn’t a focus but we can’t read everything. Gass has gobs of great essays oop. Really wish @Dalkey_Archive would reprint those next
English
@thamosdeaf If you are interested primarily in modernism and post modernism, there are Black American writers who belong to those traditions. So Gass's omissions in that regard is....... rather surprising
English
I can’t recommend enough The William H. Gass Reader. I’ve read around half its contents and it’s such an extraordinary breadth and depth of thought and daring experimentation with form. Ultimately it’s a monument to a writer who loved writing and was absurdly good at it.

Tonight, Bob Dylan and his band are set to perform the sixteenth concert of the Rough and Rowdy Ways US Spring Tour 2026. In Knoxville, Dylan has already played twelve concerts over the years - The first one in 1965. 📷: Robert Bolton #bobdylan

@WhatHoARat It was okay. Just one of Jim White’s many side projects. Saw him with Will Oldham a couple times too. Aussies be getting around

Swans. Nobody else even comes close. It was so loud i had the thought that it was probably in violation of some public health ordinance.
Amy@20th_Centurygal
Who’s the loudest band you’ve ever seen live?

@WhatHoARat Cool. Was just thinking last time I saw Swans Xylouris White opened, so reminded me lul

@SpraynardTurds Yesssss. Saw them in philly and it was spiritually restorative.

@WhatHoARat Did you do Dirty Three? Wanted to do a spring break trip to Chicago to see them, bookended with Mclusky a few days later, but my punk kids wouldn’t have it

If you hold in a fart long enough, your body turns it into a flash fiction. Something about the pressure in the guts. The microbiome. The churn of mysterious, peristaltic forces

@BarneysRubble0 Let’s get you back to yr room, Ms. Western

People reacting negatively are misunderstanding Mr. Weinstein. He is trying to spur us past the old framework. Every advance in physics must make a breach of the prior framework. In moments of stasis you need heretical, provocative language like this or you'll never change.
Camus@newstart_2024
“Einstein is the problem.” Eric Weinstein didn’t mince words on Triggernometry. If general relativity holds, we’re trapped on one fragile planet. Even terraforming the Moon and Mars only gives us three reachable spheres — nowhere near enough diversification for long-term survival. A single catastrophe could wipe us all out because we all share the same atmosphere. The only real escape, he argues, is cracking physics beyond Einstein so we can get very far, very fast. Otherwise we’re stuck playing cosmic Russian roulette. It’s a sobering wake-up call about how dangerously misaligned our priorities have become.

@lemmy_caution2 @bartlebytaco “Reads” is generous. He skims and now just relies on AI to do it for him. It’s pretty well documented. I listened to the guy’s podcast for a long time because he seemed so erudite and genuinely curious, but now it’s all just Mammon mania
English
@SpraynardTurds @bartlebytaco Tyler Cowen reads a lot and is probably an authentic fan. he definitely has horrible political views and has gone AI mad, though

@geoffwilt It’s funny cuz I thought of you earlier today when he Patreon posted, thinking up some dumb joke about “Wilt on Summer” or some such haha x.com/bobdylan/statu…
Bob Dylan@bobdylan
English
@SpraynardTurds yeah I’m just going to see him every time he plays a show nearish to me until he dies because he’s the greatest living artist we have. don’t even care really if the set blows me away or not just want to see him out there in the world existing and making music.
English
@geoffwilt I remember seeing him at UCSB right after 9/11 with my dad and my stoner roommates kept ripping on me. Had been reading a buncha HST, as 21 yos do, and we always watched the Gilliam Fear & Loathing, and dude kept quoting “Why would I pay my hard earned money to see a corpse”
