Nothing is too niche for me, I’m listening…

Don’t get me wrong. I’m always down for a punishing deep dive.

jack 🌹 @kyriakos.bsky.social · 22h

Thanks. That’s helpful

jack 🌹 @kyriakos.bsky.social · 22h

As in 20th century continental philosophy?

So the whole history of metaphysics from the Pre-Socratics to Heidegger? lol

Considering the possibility of offering subscription based online courses independently in the near future. Would anyone be interested in this? And if so, what kind of course would you be interested in taking?

The point of Jonah is not Nineveh’s repentance but Jonah’s fury at God’s mercy. It is a scathing parody of nationalistic religion that wants God on 'our side' and cannot stomach the possibility that God’s love extends beyond our religious and political borders, especially those considered 'enemies'.

Curtis Sliwa: “Anybody who knows the history of New York City knows we’ve had socialists in elected office.”

“Somehow life went on … I don’t fear socialists. I don’t fear communists. I say, leave it to the people.”

I’m not exactly optimistic about things, and I do think they’re going to get worse, but I also think this level of overreach is very unpopular with a lot of people even beyond those in the Democratic coalition. It’s spooky stuff and it doesn’t sit right with a lot of Libertarian types either

Leavitt: "President Trump will end the radical left's reign of terror in Portland once and for all. The president has directed Secretary Hegseth to provide all necessary troops to protect war-ravaged Portland."

They think this stuff is popular. They’re wrong because they haven’t checked the clock since 1994. The public remembers that they lied about “Project 2025.”

One Battle After Another has been getting a lot of “best movie of the decade” talk, and I’m inclined to agree but I’m curious — what’s the competition?

Maybe we should be!
