@hecubian_devil I think the fundamental disconnect here is that you wants politics to solve man's search for meaning and I want politics to deliver a prosperous, safe, free society in which everyone can go find meaning in something other than politics.

@davereaboi The problem isn't so much with NYC as a whole. The problem is that many young people who move to ny insist on living in Manhattan and BK neighborhoods that have a certain cachet but which are unaffordable. You can get a fairly decent and affordable apt in a less hip neighborhood.

@AmericanGwyn You forgot Wallace Stevens.

@davereaboi Unfortunately, the current iteration of the right is mistaking kitsch for art, as evidenced by the Grok-generated Odyssey video.

[jojo @jojo193713]

@nickgillespie @jonimitchell These videos stink. It's all just clickbait. Not a single direct quote from Mitchell about any of the singers and bands mentioned in the video.

@justindeanlee Elite overproduction is what put the DSA on the map. For decades, it was simply a fringe faction that no one had heard of.

@Asim0v1337 @JaycelAdkins read 10, 20 pages a day. Savor what you're reading. You should be done with the whole thing in about 9, 10 months.

[jojo @jojo193713]

@Asim0v1337 @JaycelAdkins yep

@NateSilver538 you mean the overeducated yet downwardly mobile?

@JoePostingg I don't think he's being racist. I think he's just pointing out that Greeks, just like Southern Italians, are "spicy" whites with some Middle Eastern blood in them. In no way is he saying they're inferior.

@RogueWPA @bobbyfijan In all fairness, the coat closet is next to the front entrance.

@feelsdesperate I actually work with a woman whose father had a second family. Wild stuff.

@wesyang I recently came across an apposite quote from D.H. Lawrence: "The ideas of one generation become the instincts of the next."

All this woke stuff isn't going away any time soon. Quite the opposite: its absurd tenets are being accepted as a given by younger generations.

[jojo @jojo193713]

@CheeseForEvery1 How about a department of old Italian and Jewish ladies who go around licking their thumbs and wiping the schmutz off your face?

@davereaboi @roddreher From an artistic standpoint, one of the problems with the Beats is that they failed to adhere to the following dictum from Flaubert: “Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”

[jojo @jojo193713]

@davereaboi @roddreher Kerouac definitely was definitely better. But to be honest I always thought the image and lives of the Beats was way more interesting than the stuff they wrote.

@davereaboi @roddreher I once bumped into him - literally. At Brooklyn College's bursar's office, early '90's. Bad poet.

[jojo @jojo193713]

@EliLake Screw him. The show hasn't been good since Jackie left.

@Chris_arnade Read Proust instead.
