This Degas picture hides a sickening betrayal.

“Six Friends at Dieppe” (1885) by Edgar Degas captures a moment, on an endless summer, before the Dreyfus Affair shattered their lives & cleaved French society in two.

On Ep. 125 of CR & have 7k words of notes. Double that by end for future radio review… BAP is hilarious & poignant & Flaubertian about art, life & books. Got me through some bad times recently… even though politically I’m more delicious tacos social democrat! @bronzeagemantis

@bronzeagemantis They are all like this. This must’ve been the impetus for murderous rage of teutoburg forest massacre: the German mens had had enough of tying gril sandals at stone quarry gym & then take it out on poor Italian boys looking for rare herbs on their walking holiday

@bronzeagemantis His work fills me with unease. It’s good but you feel that it’s on the cusp of some kind of horrific tragedy or act of wild violence…maybe a bit like De Chirico e.g. “enigma of arrival” which inspired VS Naipaul to write story about human sacrifice in ancient world…

@bronzeagemantis Reads a bit like medieval Matt Walsh. Maybe Anglos wrote cuck posts too.

@bronzeagemantis Maugham episode made me subscribe to CR! Also got biog of Gaugin…written by this womong who also did biog of Nietzsche. It’s shithouse…but give me dreams of pomegranate skies & big titty Tahiti tropics gril…

Maybe it’s time for me to “moon on the sixpence” & seek adventure

@anglofuturist “When I were a lad there were no austeriteh, just communiteh, we didn’t think London were real…buses and chips … pints of bitter…thatcher’s face burned in effigy on Sundays… footie (which were 5p a ticket)…getting felt up at Cambridge by randy dons…true working class grit”

[J. Max Straussler @jmaxstraussler]

@anglofuturist I misread that as “northern Qatar”.

The Norman yoke Whig supremacy doesn’t seem so bad now…

Anglo Saxon middle class completely incapable of wielding power & can only do managed declinism.

Need Lord Palmerston to return with zombie army to crush “democracy” & give a musket to every fighting age Englishmong.

@bronzeagemantis Hmmm grils I date I’m always worried because of engrish accent, height, consumptive-like whiteness they want me to cosplay as raypist elf lord from one of their literotica bean-flicking novels.

Just watch out she doesn’t make you say “stay humble eh”.
