The latest Telegraph headline stack is like found poetry.
Truly you couldn't have dreamed up a better juxtaposition if you tried.

Doom, gloom, and hollow Brexit cheerleading. The perfect trifecta.

Magnificent.

[Os Davis @oscar0davis]

Exactly this!

Saw Oppenheimer. Beautifully made. Fiercely intelligent script and deeply emotional. Academic scenes not caricatured, realistic locations, credible feeling of intellectual straining. Relentless soundtrack maintains intensity and, as Nolan predicts, wrung out at the end. Stunning

It's also a Journal of Philosophy that's Applied

this is the funniest possible way to dunk on your opponents in a philosophy debate

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more.

Lord Byron

“it’s been a tough week”
• sad
• not agentic
• vague
• no opportunity to reflect further

“the fates have been testing whether i am virtuous”
• badass
• heroic
• mysterious
• a chance to decide which virtues you care about

Philosophy isn’t just argument. Some of the best philosophy involves close observation and description, and some a vision of what might be or shouldn’t be.

[Os Davis @oscar0davis]

Haha! Fairly accurate actually..
