French Franc bills (1968-1991). Each one had different typography, loosely unified by palette & painterly style. 200 Franc bill goes so hard.

Elon Musk: "At its heart, wokeness is divisive, exclusionary, and hateful. It basically gives mean people… a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue."

[Hunter Ash @ArtemisConsort]

As a former progressive who had ~all progressive friends, this is true. They think “bigoted” truths are barred by the laws of physics, or even of logic. They think to show that a statement implies natural inequalities is to show that it’s false. They do not think e.g. racial cognitive equality is an empirical question. They’re confused when you ask for evidence. I’ve had some cite the Declaration of Independence to me, as if that’s proof of equal average IQ scores. And these were otherwise smart people. Their brains have been completely shattered on any question relating to human differences. It’s so spooky when you look at it from the outside, like they’re being controlled by a malevolent spirit that wakes up whenever one of its trigger words gets said.

Hyper-politics (politics with high emotional intensity and very low practical impact) is just the flip side of hypo-sociality (lots of alienated individuals interacting virtually without any real community).

It is true that there are very few "classical" Marxists in academia. But that begs the question if the current brand of woke, new-leftish left-liberalism is not the inevitable historical result of what DN called the "decomposition" of Marxism after its revolutionary failure.

[Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles]

The best criticism of the movie is that Nolan's Odysseus simply isn't Odysseus. Nolan, like Dante, reads the story through a Christian lens. So while Homer presents Odysseus as a classic hero, Dante depicts him, along with Sinon, as a villain in the lowest depths of Hell. But Nolan wants to have it both ways. So we wind up with the confused morality of boomer liberalism and a story that ends with the protagonist feeling kind of bad but cheering up when he takes his wife on a cruise.

Le Monde el día después de lo de Zidane con Materazzi. "Niño mimado, maleducado, inadmisible, intolerable, inexcusable..." Muchos matizaron luego el asunto, pero en Francia se montó un gran debate nacional sobre la imagen dada.

@garciareinahugo Total, Hugo, pensé lo mismo. Cuando ocurre la tangana, va a separar a los españoles en lugar de ocuparse de sus energúmenos, que enseguida van a por el siguiente. El hype con él pasa por alto que no se ha distanciado 1mm de lo que representaron.

[Guillermo @ggrainof]

De acuerdo con mucho de lo que dice. Pero, a estas alturas, lo relevante no son ni los jugadores ni las conspiranoias que no representan a la mayoría, sino el silencio y la ausencia de autocrítica del sector más razonable y educado del país cuando proyectan una imagen bochornosa.

Uf! pero estamos locos?
Sí, su selección de fútbol jugó como el culo. Fueron fanfarrones, tramposos y jugaron sucio. Dicho queda y que conste en acta.
Pero hablamos de Argentina, del pais..
El destino tuvo el capricho de hacerme francesa y regalarme el español. Puedo leer el Quijote a palo seco y también degustar la otra gran cumbre del idioma, que es un argentino poniéndote a parir durante un rato con una riqueza léxica tal que al final no sabes si ofenderte o pedirle un bis.
Podría escuchar a un argentino leer el prospecto de un laxante y acabar convencida de que Borges dejó un manuscrito olvidado en la farmacia.
Como te digo una co, te digo la o.
Sí, jugaron feo. Pero no, no los pienso odiar, recojones, por el fútbol. Hay odios muchísimo mejor invertidos que gastarlos con un país tan condenadamente cabron que hasta cuando te manda a la mierda lo hace con talento.
Hala! Darse un besito, que sois primos hermanos.

@Sport_Witness Not a single ounce of self-awareness here. So ridiculous it must be a parody. Right?

Un país que, después de esto, piensa que “no hay nada que reprochar” o que “derrochó valores” está condenado. Argentinos, desde el cariño que os tenemos la mayoría de quienes os hemos tratado lo suficiente en persona: si de verdad amáis vuestra nación, exigíos más altura.

No recuerdo la creación de una opinión pública planetaria tan abrumadoramente coincidente como la que se ha formado sobre Argentina estos días. Es un caso de consensus gentium inapelable...

[Sport Witness @Sport_Witness]

🇦🇷 Argentine newspaper Clarin: 'As never before, the Argentine team displayed, both on and off the field, a range of values ​​that are rare these days. From the pitch and beyond, they gave several lessons and showed the face of a country that we would like to see away from the football pitch.

'A team that was polite and respectful, despite a few unfortunate isolated incidents in the last match; that didn't speak ill of its rivals or try to justify its own mistakes by blaming others.'
