“If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.” - Noam Chomsky
@Slappymcshane YEAH BRO! I’m out here tryna make Manga more accessible in to readers in the book market. There are still so many publishers not yet available in the US (esp. libraries).
Cool to see you on the train
Hey @DavidDark, thanks for turning me on to The Simpsons -- I was prohibited from watching when I was a kid, and so I almost missed it.
I've quite enjoyed 'Everyday Apocalypse' as cultural commentary and suggestion
This book of poetry is remarkable. Thanks @randallmannpoet for posting abt it a few months back, @rocketfantastic for your thoughtful foreword. And most of all, @bengucciardi, what a gift you’ve given us.
@Slappymcshane Derrida said that Poetry runs the risk of being meaningless, and it 'would be nothing without this risk'. I think Artists/Creators should make money for work, and at the same time, Art for the sake of expression as 'cake' seems correct to me. The commercial value is icing.
“A poem always runs the risk of being meaningless, and would be nothing without this risk of being meaningless, and would be nothing without this risk.” Jacques Derrida
@nosliwhtes Linguists especially understand the nature of language as a science, the limitations and simultaneously the possibilities — it’s in the specifics that complexities are communicated and generalities — which I would say is a characteristic of ‘wokeness’ (?) — perpetuate abstraction
#CriticalKayfabeTheory thread. In 2001, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) changed its name for legal reasons to WWE (E for entertainment) – an admission it wasn’t a competitive league, but designed to amuse their fans.
Ergo, add an “E” to many evangelical denominations.
