#Irony: he pretends to be stupid even though he is.
#ANU should never have considered cutting Humanities. An advanced society must study its own Literature. Judging by podcasts, if we lose Lit departments, we’ll stop producing lascivious leches who keep blowup lie-lows in their offices for special classes. #auspol

US getting ready to attack Venezuela.
The rhetoric of curbing narcotics trade is just an excuse as Trump plans to pardon convicted drugs tsars at home.
It is about vanity, control of oil/gas and minerals and new Imperialism.
Who is next? Why is the UN silent?

❛ I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you might nudge the world a little or make a poem that children will speak for you when you are dead.

Everyone should draw a diagram such as this to be printed on a T-shirt, then get together at parties to describe them (on alcohol). Or just print and describe Hegel’s logic. I may never understand it but still enjoy the creativity and work.
This Graph shows the trajectories of ideas, when an idea starts at a certain point it will naturally follow the closest path to it barring outside forces.
This is Newton's Laws of Motion ≡ Alisru's Laws of eMotion
Also quantizes morality and truths, so we can perform spectroscopy with questions

Years ago thinking ‘grotesque plastic face’ was an expression of US power:
Power is Beauty: thus, if the powerful have grotesque plastic faces, then grotesque faces must be beautiful. Or “we can make people desire even THIS!”
It didn’t really work though.

Again, the upside is MAGA-face will prevent them from melting back into the population when the regime falls. By their faces we shall know them.
Botox. Plastic surgery. That make-up. What is going on with the MAGA look?
@inaeoh.bsky.social explores how beauty upholds power—and how we're all complicit in a new reality TV politics.

Difference btw a PhD & an MD is that a PhD must write an 80,000 word thesis that makes an original contribution to a field of knowledge. MDs must write illegible scripts and not faint at the sight of blood. Pilots save 300 people a day but also imperil them.

@ashleysays.bsky.social @slessans.bsky.social
As promised, here's the second episode of Sweary Aussie Drama from Mitchell & Webb Are Not Helping.
I'm assuming there's going to be one with each of the 6 shows in this season.
Content Warning: There's an incredible amount of swearing in it.
