I often tweet with heavy sarcasm and general disregard. Radically independent former academic.

@beav_scott @BurgervilleUSA Joth Ricci, who serves as an executive chairman for Burgerville, made a $3 million donation to support the Oregon State men's and women's basketball programs. Maybe keep it to yourself.

@geoffschwartz Amazing people thought Dante wasn't that bum from UCLA. Went from #1 pick to my Uber driver real quick.

@Todd_Spence The irony of him yelling at her to "act like a grown up" while in the middle of a tantrum and throwing stuff on the floor.

@BattlefieldInte No sense of achievement in this game because there's too many stat pad bot farm players like this. Dice fumbled by allowing those farm servers and making your level and stats not matter at all.

@duguid1604 @catsareblessing That's Mango the bar cat. He was living at Proeflokaal a. van wees in Amsterdam until recently. Sadly, someone allegedly faked food poisoning and reported their business so now he has a new home: https://t.co/FzHbCzUlpK

@KY_PDX Absolutely, he's basically worthless on the floor, but that pick was all about acquiring Chinese market value to help gain interest from potential buyers of the team.

@DavidAsmanfox If we just lease a few bases, will that give us the critically important access to and control of the Northern Sea shipping route which is going to be increasingly viable as arctic ice caps continue to melt?

@johncanzanobft I'm starting to think he has an unannounced major health issue: the big $2bil gift to OHSU, the "shoe duck" commemoration game, now this. Seems like he's getting ready for the next great adventure...

@cartographer_s I'm glad you posted the original. Every time I see this posted it's some edited version with the contrast all messed up.

@X_ArtGallery This was painted by François Lemoyne. Sadly, he committed suicide by stabbing himself with a sword not long after completing this piece.

@SeekAfterBeauty A "bad" piece of art does not have freedom in appearance. Beautiful (good) art invokes the harmonious resolution of the human drives for sense and reason, which enables the full expression of human potential. As Kant said, the beautiful is a "symbol of morality."

@johncanzanobft Everything the Blazers are doing now has to be looked at through the lens of what is good for selling the team. Making fan base moves like Yang (big China market) and bringing back Lillard will help the valuation.

@SeekAfterBeauty In 1823 he and his brother were involved in a shipwreck. His brother drowned and this affected him deeply for the rest of his life. The motto inscribed on coat of arms of Paris is "She is tossed by the waves, but does not sink."

@EdohAyao @CloserToTruth Calling the principium individuationis a projection of a cosmic mind seems like a misreading of Schopenhauer. The individuation we project is on a blind, striving energy, what Schopenhauer referred to as the Will, not a mind in any conventional sense.

@cartographer_s It was a popular event to paint. Here is Francesco Fidanza's version which is one of my favorites:

@historyinmemes This effect was famously repeated 200 years later by Velazquez. Interestingly, it is probable that this painting was part of the Spanish Royal Collection at the same time Velazquez was the curator there.

@Culture_Crit Her bulging figure in not intended to indicate she is pregnant, but like her small, high-laced bosom illustrates the ideal of beauty held in the Late Gothic era.
