Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

The ancients are fascinating because they are us AND they are alien. You read about Romans grieving for lost pets and feel an immediate connection and then recoil at accounts of staggering, matter-of-factly child abuse. We do ourselves a disservice when we banish the complexity.

@parsons_tor In ASOIAF a knight saves a princess imprisoned in a tower by a dragon(-sigiled prince), so that’s definitely not a parody but isn’t exactly played straight either

@azforeman What’s the laryngeal transcription you’re using for the first poem? All I can tell is h2->a

In A Canticle for Leibowitz, set 600 years after nuclear armageddon, a novice monk must make a daring pilgrimage to consult the Pope in the glorious city of New Rome, which in ancient times was known as St. Louis

It's funny to imagine a fantasy world where quests and villains and heroic tasks and stuff just take place somewhere in nevada

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

@kellenki1 @rikardhjort I have very lay knowledge on this, but could it be related to early Christian adoptionism?

Very interesting chart on this (and horrifying, vis a vis the Americas)

[Annatar @Annatar_I]

One important fact that shaped 19th & 20th century history and is ignored today is how empty the world was outside Europe, China & India until the last few decades. The world was very sparsely populated outside those 3 areas until the last 50 years.

@Kihbernetics Our universe is the world/society/ecosystem we inhabit, and our goals are limited to that, no?
