considered just as a spell to deliver the country to fascists you can't deny the words "magic grandpa" weren't effective

Times headline writers literally do not believe headlines are for saying what the news is; headlines are for showing that the paper is reserving judgment about events and not getting carried away

This isn’t really a classic both-sides treatment, it’s more the institutional rule that it’s rude and unsophisticated to summarize the facts of a situation in a headline if you can write an archly detached vague understatement instead

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

Ok, Aeneid discourse time because the statement below is correct, but also, I think, significantly incomplete in ways that understate how good Vergil is as an author (he is very good).

Aeneas is supposed to be a self-righteous prig because Vergil is deeply ambivalent about the Augustan project.

Virgil wrote FanFic.

And while parts of his epic are very good, Aeneas himself comes across as a self-righteous prig.

oddly enough there was a BSKY thread abt this a week or 3 back, arguing (iirc) that the flatness of aeneas is a quiet-quitter critique of augustus caesar, who virgil greatly distrusted (but couldn’t say so openly)

always fun to run across past evidence of my loathing (lifelong) of nick broomfield lol -- viz "fvck nick broomfield they shd have executed him and set aileen wuornos free"

this is parody & hyperbole if yr a mod obv

(i do suspect wuornos was stitched up but the tale was too ploughed up to know)
