@moveincircles Easy, Camille Paglia. Sex, Art and American Culture. Read it after my first year at university in the early 90s. Saved me from taking post-strukturalist/post-modernist BS seriously.

@torarnedahl done!

@jessesingal Very strange world. I am sitting in a bar in Bergen, Norway, finding this photo strangely endearing. Like a snapshot of old friends. I have listened to every single BarPid episode.

@RichardHanania Galvin has good jeans.

@katrosenfield @PirateWires I was waiting for it! And have been reloading FP and Unheard all day.

Har skrevet om litt om akademisk transaktivisme i Aftenposten i dag.

@IonaItalia no, the woman to the left looks like a human female, the one to the right looks like a plastic doll. I wold prefer the human not the doll.

Jeg har skrevet en kronikk i Aftenposten i morgen om den digitale utvandringen fra X til Bluesky - tilgjengelig på nett fra i kveld.

@oysteinbogen Americans have colonised my local bar in Bergen. My experience exactly. If your politics is boring - probably a good thing.

@HPluckrose Helen is right - wokism's US roots stem from the Puritan tradition, not just atheism. Puritan moralism, sense of chosenness, & tendencies towards control outlived secularization, shaping America's cultural DNA, enabling wokism's rise regardless of religious identity.

@christopherrufo @SwipeWright @HPluckrose Pluckrose is right - wokism's US roots stem from the Puritan tradition, not just atheism.

@Tyler_A_Harper I think it is nerdy in a endearing way. No harm in this.

@bariweiss Respect! ❤️

Bildet av mannen, flagget, blodet og knyttneven er ikke bare et portrett av Donald Trump, det er en visjon av Amerika slik mange ønsker å se nasjonen - sterk, stolt og uredd. Skriver jeg i en lengre tekst i Minerva i dag.

@daniel_dsj2110 It’s a fantastic read. I think I had a reference to it in all my university papers during the 90s. I recently reread his critique of Foucault at the end of the book. It resonates even more today. I saw him give a lecture in Oslo, Norway in the late 80s.

@HPluckrose You are the most clear minded defender of the liberal tradition I have come across Hellen. Still alive. You have a a supernatural ability to explain post modern theory. You do great work. It is very much appreciated. But I am curious why you bother with people like this?

[Alex Iversen @AlexIversen]

@bariweiss @TheFP @EmilyYoffe It was great. But Dworkin not Paglia I dont understand.

[Alex Iversen @AlexIversen]

@IonaItalia Read the «Junk Bonds …» essay in Sex, Art … She saw it all coming. 30 years ago. She was a prophet.

[Alex Iversen @AlexIversen]

@CathyYoung63 I would have expected Camille Paglia ...
