@maiamindel The goal of serious political advocacy groups is to effect political change, not to talk. Talking is a method, not an outcome

@ok_post_guy What is the point of not just buying canned baked beans? They're much cheaper and presumably better

@aaroncoleman0 @letterboxd Nausicaä was the film that led to Studio Ghibli's existence but their first movie was technically Castle in the Sky

[Winston @notThatWinston]

@aaroncoleman0 @letterboxd Fun fact: while Nausicaä is commonly considered a Studio Ghibli film, it actually predates the studio by a full year, which is why it gets left off of lists like these whenever a particularly pedantic person makes them

@crypto_entrapta @souljagoytellem >i'm counting classic and other highly acclaimed books as non-fiction

hm

@StevenWallaby Oh yeah Howl is a huge hit amongst my age group

[Winston @notThatWinston]

@LazlosGhost Sam Rockwell was also in Three Billboards which is a really good movie if you remember that the director/screenwriter is not American

[Winston @notThatWinston]

@LazlosGhost Angelina Jolie is one of the most famous stars in Hollywood and the best movie she's ever been in is Kung Fu Panda

Innovation is not innately natural but instead deeply tied to human culture and assumptions about the world around us, you say?

[Ashlee Vance @ashleevance]

Having made Hello World for several years now and been a journo for longer, I continue to think that risk-taking is just not baked into many cultures. There are few places where you can fail and not have that be a real mark of shame.

@TheBarrySauce @esotericneolib As a part of the nuclear triad? They're very useless.
Read this: it's a good summary of why https://t.co/96Z6klJJjd

@esotericneolib Good point

@souljagoytellem Not every nonfiction book has to be Discipline and Punish or Seeing Like A State. Many of them just contain information about what happened at a particular time or place

[Winston @notThatWinston]

@souljagoytellem There are huge classes of nonfiction books that aren't "ideas, arguments, prose" and yet are still great/valuable. Something like Peter Wilson's Thirty Years War *contains* ideas and arguments, but primarily it's a highly accurate telling of what happened during the 30 years war

@constans That person has maybe one of the dumbest sets of flags I've ever seen in someone's bio

[Winston @notThatWinston]

@souljagoytellem What's the point of reading a nonfiction book that isn't giving you the information you wanted? They aren't (and shouldn't be) gripping literary masterpieces, unless you're reading like Barbara Tuchman (but her books aren't true so...)

[Winston @notThatWinston]

@neighborrunner I'm not sure it applies to any of them
