@gabegaster I think it's the difference between the recipe being the story of how to make a dish and a diagram describing a process

@Yo_Soy_Patricio @Variety Nolan did a Michael Bay level adaptation

@mikeduncan I'm seeing absolutely ZERO Virgil van Dijk in this thread. And that's a damn shame

@tancredipalmeri They didn't change the rules for the US. They changed it for CR7

@Cinephylactic @MenInBlazers Do you remember Cristiano Ronaldo was supposed to sit out the first two matches of this World Cup on a Red Card? Probably not. Those were suspended by FIFA, and the red card in question wasn't even questionable.

@ChrisCWright1 @buffsoldier_96 Marxist-Leninism *is* stalinism. Trotsky describes his position as Leninism. But only insofar as Lenin is "doing" Marxism, navigating history-in-the-making

@stephen_janicki @laborrepublican Mate, it's clear you're just engagement farming. No one wants to engage with your inanity on *this* platform, let alone reward your deceit by clicking through to another that, coincidentally, rewards you monetarily for the views.

Never travel to a second location 😘

@JustLooking_BTW @IGN In the United States, you cannot patent or copyright visual design. Hence you can buy iterations of luxury or designer clothing brands at Target or Zara and also why luxury brands now tend to plaster their logos all over their products. Logos are protected by trademark.

@PoisonTherat @buffsoldier_96 It's a "turtles all the way down" problem. Especially in regions like the Levant, where there have been successive, disparate peoples for thousands of years. If we're gonna draw an arbitrary line at, say, 500 years, do we actually give it to the Turks? Or 1,000 years, the Greeks?

@wrkclasshistory Morgan Lewis (& Bockius) was the law firm Reagan hired to break the strike. Morgan Lewis is also the firm McDonald's retains to combat unionization.

@buffsoldier_96 The Götterdämmerung of bourgeois civilization, a tragedy that we have yet to, and may never, recover from.

@pas_melbourne Miss you all!

@SeanFennessey @TheBigPic Without the third hour there is no movie. The third hour is the playing out of Nolan's underlying thesis: the liquidation of the 20th century's revolutionary possibilities and the disintegration and destruction of the modern world.

@NateSilver538 You convince billionaires that relegation (value depreciation) is a good idea.

@Da7e @FITWR @ZacOldenburg Any idea why it's not properly reloading on Spotify? It says the long version but keeps loading the 21 minute version.

For the next few months when I tell someone to go read a fucking book, it will be this one.

Hollywood unions are fighting corporate oligarchy.

Until 2024 that is.

Next year they'll be back browbeating workers to keep the same oligarchs in power. They'll be out there raising money for the scumbags who suppressed the railroad unions last year.

@buffsoldier_96 It's wild how much the American discourse dominates and is swallowed completely without critical reflection

[Benjamin Tippin @beentippin]

@buffsoldier_96 But, importantly, Jefferson believed it to be remade through ongoing rebellion and revolution. The 'tree of liberty' letter sets him firmly against lifetime appointments for magistrates and even more firmly on the side of insurrection as the necessary maintenance of liberty.

@L_onlyL @shellenberger @KevinsWorld64 I prefer 'Governor Bateman'
