people love a "Chinese versus American" story so much. Zhong Shu has had all her education since high school in the US and is doing a PhD in political philosophy (specialisation in classics) in an American university.
the thing is that Wilson seems to not be particularly well-versed in film criticism, which when criticizing a film of the Odyssey is more important than knowledge of the Odyssey.

do the iranians have their own barak ravid or do they just leak dumb shit to barak ravid too
It’s because, unlike GUI-first Windows and MacOS, the command line is the primary way to interact with Linux. And we recently invented a technology that can translate your natural language requests into code or scripts that work perfectly in a CLI.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · yesterdaySpaceX shares are down by half from their June peak as investors worry Musk may have oversold them on its future prospects.
I am breaking my normal rule of not engaging in Discourse to say: In context Vimes Boots Theory refers to an extremely specific phenomenon about extreme poverty vs old-money aristocracy. Pratchett was correct but the observation has limited applicability beyond this context. Thank you

Linux just cracked 10% desktop usage in North America, but no one's sure why
The shift stands out because the change was not gradual but abrupt. Linux's rise came largely at Windows' expense, while OS X saw only limited movement over...

Remember the Obama-era freakout over Jade Helm, and how the fantasies fueling that GOP panic turned out to prefigure this year’s occupation of Minneapolis? This is the same dynamic. They don’t feel bad about atrocities, as long as they solely experience them as perpetrators.

Cheburashka@leshij.bsky.social · 9h agoThe Chinese government lost control of public opinion over a *proposal* to slightly loosen requirements for *green cards* for the richest and most qualified expats. They’re betting on robots to survive the demographic crisis. Embracing immigration isn’t even on policymakers’ radar
editors sometimes pick bad titles but this is really a doozy

There were around 50–70 million people total in 500 BCE, so something around 10% of the entire human population alive at the time the Odyssey was written have now seen Christopher Nolan's version.
Matthew Downhour @matthewdownhour.bsky.social · 19h agoI mean, the Odyssey has $2 million in pre-sales in *China* so I’m gonna say this is true

Linda Holmes@lindaholmes.bsky.social · 21h agoI just saw a dude argue that Christopher Nolan has created the most interest in The Odyssey that has ever existed in history and please, someone hit me with a tranquilizer dart that will allow me to sleep through next year’s Oscars. Please. I can’t take it.
I’m aware that “Christopher Nolan is a genius” is an extremely mid-brow opinion. I like being middle brow. I’m pretty committed to middle brow as a lifestyle really

tbh it's a huge cultural loss that Mishima didn't coexist with the social media era. Guy would've been an S-tier poster.
he and engels wrote military analysis for money so i think they would be posters with big maps of ukraine fronts
GOLIKEHELLMACHINE@golikehellmachine.com · yesterdaystop parroting theory and start trying to read and understand theory, marx would fucking disavow and destroy every loudmouth anti-chart jackass on social media, he would be obsessed with people being wrong on the internet and he’s not even the best reference in the 21st century
mishima’s shit are always bangers because its really hard for someone else to get into the heads of such whackadoodle characters without being a subject matter expert
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 24h agoalright let's do real discourse: five books *by bad people* that are still good or great books V.S.
