@Matif011 @MacaesBruno He does look like he thinks what he's saying is insightful.

@baldoyle55 The statement in the first paragraph is something about which legitimate debate can be had. The second paragraph is an absurd non sequitur, conflating works of art with artists as people.

@malonebarry I think Murray's attitude to discourse is that, if you talk complete bullshit with enough of a tone of smarmy superciliousness, it magically turns into wisdom.

@KareemRifai You of all people criticising others for bias and blind spots is pretty farcical.

@BadWritingTakes There's some truth to the notion that cultural power and influence can exist in a way that doesn't correspond wholly with material wealth. It's quite another thing to claim that such power is the ONLY thing that confers elite status.

@geogvma Inverted nationalism, essentially.

@rowenamezzo I'm enjoying this collection this evening:

@hmadsyria @fbhutto Do you mean, "tautology", perhaps?

@DrDavidVernon Schama's repulsive views on Gaza put me off him.

[David O'Riordan @DavidORiordan13]

@malonebarry I admired him while I knew him mainly for his work on Syria and Ukraine (while noting his tendency for ego-wanking and at times world-conquering portentousness); but post-Oct. 7th the smelly side to his agenda became more salient, and he now seems to be getting worse and worse.

@ConrothN @DGclassics Banger of an album.

@DrDavidVernon Anna Karenina actually had significantly less of an effect on me, but that might be circumstantial; there were more interruptions in my reading of it. The philosophy chapters didn't derail W&P overwhelmingly for me.

@Cloud_Journal Breeding too many cooks can.

@DarthHummuss @OzKaterji As an Irishman who is blocked by Oz, I find it vindicating to see the odious pillock descending ever further into the ethical abyss.

@Cloud_Journal Of those listed, it's a toss-up between symphonies no. 6 and 9. (My favourite Beethoven work is the op. 111 piano sonata.)
