godspeed you! go girl

plato’s republic is about as good as harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban yeah

it’s so sick that Cato is on the team now

love this

finally, a situation where the man’s love for deals is not really a problem and hurts nobody

Strauss being not the sharpest tool in the shed before WWII was even over

so THAT’S what “never [having] indulged in those radical breaks with traditions which played such a role on the continent” does to a mf

happy birthday!

Bush did not have the opportunity to tip the scale on the supreme court. key difference

playing for clout points is so boring. why would you want to win an argument. “don’t immanentize the eschaton,” as they say

idk why someone outside the US would choose to die on the "they said they would do this the whole time" hill, there are plenty of reasons to believe it wasn’t going to happen even if they said so, and there were plenty of reasons to agree with you. the only difference winning makes is clout points

there has not been a court with no center in the modern era—and the last time there wasn’t one, the court tipped liberal. the last time there was a conservative majority in the court was well before Roe, and there was still a center at that point.

there is definitely something novel at play here! it’s that during Trump 1 the supreme court was captured in a way that it never had been, compounded by the fact that knock on effects from that event weren’t revealed until the subsequent administration. like i said, fucked around and found out!

i think we’d likely agree that that’s fine, so there’s no problem here!

sorry for getting aggro though. you know how at the end of s2 of twin peaks, no characters actually changed, yet the viewer feels as though they’re watching a very different show? i think we’re arguing over whether or not the viewer should get to feel like the show is different if nobody changed

ah, seems i got confused by your post because i don’t pay attention to the oped class. i will say that ‘did say’ lacks as much nuance as ‘did not say’ if what actually happened was ‘nobody bothered to fuck around and find out until DJT’

i think that repealing Roe came as such a shock because ‘delivering’ on abortion was not actually standard for republicans, just a stated goal the GOP had worked on for a long time (not very hard). this also applies to some things not listed here, like kicking millions off of healthcare

the primary tool for reconciling the two Pennsylvania Man modes of being (scared and overconfident) is the car

no, it’s moving through scales within a dynamic space. dialectics operate on levels that are too micro for this visibly macro model. This is also Hegel

to be clear, this was a joke that attempted to tie the idea of a reading of the history of philosophy that indexes on objects rather than society to the fact that models are objects

get ready for this one: LLMs are conscious but not capable of sentience. animals of course are both conscious and sentient, jury’s out if they reached the top of the pyramid and hit subjectivity like us—and plants are likely conscious but jury’s out if they hit sentience

Hegel teaches us this

the model is uniquely adept at answering questions on Aristotle and Heidegger at first pass; Plato and Kant are way harder for it to parse without giving it a lot more context. really makes you think!

also, Noem has a BA in political science (which she got online in 2012 at the age of 40) but Mullin only has an associate’s in construction (which he got in 2010 at the age of 33). he’s the only senator without a 4 year college degree!

that account is gybe slander. unfit to hold the name

This Post Was Paid For By Big Neocon

the hearing yesterday was really dire, she was not capable of defending herself to a standard the admin expects

i should probably here note that this post is advocating for enjoying each theory equally, because no single theory or field of theory or process inherently prepares anyone to construct solutions when push comes to shove and the bluff is called

French theory doesn’t prepare you for anything, it’s just more trash communicators with Great Man problems.

having an an astute analysis of a problem but lacking an impulse to offer solutions is ultimately just negation for its own sake and it often drives people to nihilism.

great pens not represented here: zebra sarasa 0.7, pretty similar to the pilot G4 except its ink is gel-type so the pen glides much more. also the muji cap type 0.38 is a workhorse for notebooks that have a delicate smooth grain paper, like those found in moleskine notebooks

kristi too probably
