@at9468@SaiKate108 What is your point? Other than signalling that you know things too. What does internecine Christian conflict have to do with the point he is making?
@HistoryBoomer@mtracey I like how you just ignored all the other examples and locked-in on the one wherein you could deflect change your language to the more amorphous 'wacky' and then never address the actual point @mtracey was making.
@OsherFeldman The Aesthetic Trap - a deep affinity/dislike for a person or group, irrespective of character or substance due to their aesthetic alone. This explains T.D.S. and what I feel when I hear Anthony Albanese speak with his mouth.
@mdtlion Yeah. She nailed the sentiment of frustration and the broad themes behind it. But didn't make a compelling case beyond shoulds, musts, and grievance. There wasn't enough substance and without it she's too easy to dismiss as - just a racist.
@_davidlimbrick It's well defined in anthropology and psychology. It's shorthand is W.E.I.R.D., the name derived from the outward manifestation of the culture. https://t.co/HrjCGqXth9
Russell Crowe on Gladiator 2:
‘They failed, and they failed because they didn’t understand what made the first film so successful: it had a moral core. Here’s the thing, most people want that. On the surface, they might go for entertainment, but if they’re going to love something and keep it with them forever, like that movie? …The love for that thing is because of its moral core. All guys want to be that man who can stay that strong, and all women want a man who can love them in that way.’
'He ashed his cigarette on a black stain where many had been ashed before. Out to the east he could see the sparkling fringe of the walled city. The demarcation. A palisade of concrete and iron, too high and perilous to climb and too guarded to traverse. The Wall. Behind it hung the Citadel's steel and glass towers in the deepening twilight sky. The geometries of the structures aflame in the setting sun. Besieging the city sprawled the waste of its birth. The Barrens.'

WOW! This is the first time we've ever been able to see Starship in space from another object. This view comes from modified Starlink satellite they just deployed that has a camera and a light on it.
Super cool!
'He lay on his back and looked up at the sky. A sprawl of black lavender awash with shimmering silver needle points that were endless and unknowable. Clean and perfect. He couldn't remember the last time he had seen the night sky. It wrapped around him. Deep and eternal. Everything else felt unimportant and ugly and small. He stared into it until it was unmade before him. Until there was no more of anything.'

Although I don't agree with the bottom ranking - the top two are close. Blood Meridian edges out The Road, personally. Appreciate the analysis. My Cormac McCarthy ranking so far. #books#booktube#bookreview#ranking... https://t.co/Pn0AfLwzpB via @
