I think at a basic level tomorrow doesn't exist yet and that's hard. But, inasmuch as we're actually talking about "expanding" equality, we're asking for a new integration of a situation by way of a new meaning, and that integration transcends the present one in a strict sense.
But it's relatively supernatural. It can only be dimly anticipated. And the error of common sense is to interpret this quality of anticipation as impossibility. In both directions, too: we mistakenly believe we must not or cannot change, or that only total revolution succeeds.

Being familiar with the literature is what makes you an ‘expert.’ Having a LLM summarize literature for you makes you nothing.
No one said it was easy to learn. Much as you might wish it, there are no shortcuts.

“Things can’t be so plainly bad or obvious in such a way that not only does it make taking direct action a moral prerogative, it is actually a politically viable strategy with high returns on investment. If that were true I would need to be acting differently, therefore it cannot be true”

There’s actually a lot of people like this in liberal circles more broadly now, it’s a very obvious rationalization mechanism in the present moment
Matty has negatively polarized himself against the concept of activism to the point where he no longer seems to understand how political parties work at all.

At Peñiscola, the seat of power of the Antipope Benedict XIII, and the locals / local histories just refer to him as the Pope.

I was familiar with it before but actually sitting down to read Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is like discovering a new primary color. A bunch of Tom of Finland guys named, like, Grand Funk Railroad and Kiss Alive saying shit like "You actually thought decapitating me would slow me down? Foolish child."

Levelled my way through the Laggy Eversong forest and made my way to Harandar, since I was curious on the Murals, that are (one of the many) reason Haranir get the rather harsh welcome:
The entire vibe of them changed, as well as the connections to dark-trolls. Have a read :)

Please, PLEASE, do not villain bat him, please let us have a guy who is complex and not always "right" without killing him. He sounds like such a wonderful character I don't want him to die. We deserve a male troll character to stay for good after Vol'jin, Zul and Rastakhan.

Deeeeeefinitely a villain speech right here.
Really hoping this ends up being an inversion, and Zul'jarra is able to pull him from the brink.

Sometimes you have clinical rotations where you don't learn what to do but rather learn what not to do, who you don't want to become, and what you plan on never doing 🙏
