@athanasios32747 All Lynch’s films get better with age. Even Fire Walk with Me has matured from embarrassing misfire to misunderstood masterpiece.

@nguyenhdi I like the dreams in Daniel. Satoshi Kon could animate them.

This is reactionary politics in the literal sense: ‘Fascists say fitness is good so I say fitness is BAD.’

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Now that the left is actually within reach of attaining real power, this kind of antisocial behavioral should be thoroughly shamed.

[Richard Alured @RichardAlured]

@haravayin_hogh Did you try ‘The Immortal’? It’s what I hoped Lovecraft might be.

[Richard Alured @RichardAlured]

@Kulambq Heidegger not evil, seriously?

[Richard Alured @RichardAlured]

@mgscotttt Heidegger and GB Shaw are ‘not evil’? But Kafka is?

@lionel_trolling @Tyler_A_Harper If this is the cringiest minute of the whole conference, it probably wasn’t that bad as a whole.

@MentallyNathan The Bible is actually really ambiguous about the afterlife. Different passages make different predictions.

@TeufelsAdvokat_ @skdh @robinhanson Except classical liberalism was evoked to justify slavery. So actually there’s no ideology that will eternally bulwark you against moral catastrophe.

@ArmandDAngour @QcWynter You beat me to it!

@DomiEnOlla @leftylucy1989 @thenation And if they don’t want to fly back - mass expulsions. And if they resist - slaughter.

[Richard Alured @RichardAlured]

@leftylucy1989 @thenation And Israel ‘not existing’ will also require mass expulsion and (probably) slaughter.

@nguyenhdi I collaborated on a project for a while with Tadashi Wakashima, who translated Lolita into Japanese, and he got really angry when I suggested that literature can never be properly translated.

@Kulambq And Yeats at the bottom, I mean…

[Richard Alured @RichardAlured]

@GarethReeves4 @rene_december Eliot became a British citizen, so I guess that’s valid. Yeats was born and writing before Irish independence so his citizenship is a bit ambiguous.

[Richard Alured @RichardAlured]

@GarethReeves4 @rene_december And Yeats is English? I mean I’m assuming this means ‘English’ nationality and that’s why there are no Americans.

@VinceCzyz @GWEtymology @jeremylybarger And his mother incubated him in her bosom, meaning The Kid is actually a Xenomorph.

[Richard Alured @RichardAlured]

@stewart_ky52284 @GWEtymology @jeremylybarger Didn’t people say ‘mindless violence’ in the 80’s?

[Richard Alured @RichardAlured]

@fiend_data @jeremylybarger Because McCarthy believed written language is only a transcription of the oral, therefore punctuation is redundant except where it guides the orator.

[Richard Alured @RichardAlured]

@GWEtymology @jeremylybarger I always wondered at that sudden intrusion of newspaper language. It seems too deliberate to be a mistake, Is he trying to draw a link to our own day?
