I had a viscerally negative reaction when I saw the trailer - incredulous at first, then I thought, this sounds anti-sex and anti-modernity

Today's artist without a (known) birthday: Jacob van Hulsdonck, still-life painter of Antwerp. Here, from around 1620, wild strawberries in a wan-li bowl. And a carnation.
a lot of people just say whatever the news has been blasting at them. this would explain the contradiction of research/education being placed so low while competitiveness is high

100% sure this gatekeeping complaint is from angry techbros because folks don't want to read generative fiction
Antony Johnston@antonyjohnston.bsky.social · 2d agoSeeing complaints online that authors 'gatekeep' information…! Absolute nonsense. There is no industry or craft in the world which is so comprehensively written about, studied, and discussed as fiction writing, and every author I know welcomes new writers who are serious about giving it a go.
"“Instead of solidarity with Spain and the people affected, the choice was to blame Spain, a cheap way to score points at home at the expense of a fellow member state managing a hard moment at its border,” noted Italian academic Alberto Alemanno" #Ceuta
Dave Keating@davekeating.substack.com · 3d agoEurope's centre-and-far-right leaders chose to use an attack on an EU member state as a chance for cheap political points rather than show solidarity. A stark contrast to how they reacted when migrants were used as weapons against Poland by Belarus/Russia.

Ceuta exposes Europe's chronic lack of unity
An EU member state was attacked, with migrants used as weapons in a seemingly orchestrated manoeuvre. Giorgia Meloni and other leaders across Europe chose to blame the country being attacked.

Many people on the left saw lockdown as the return of the state after decades of neoliberalism. In fact, it was the coup de grâce of what was left of the welfare state, which was stood down. Schools were closed, hospitals were closed, public institutions closed. Capital let rip.
Nick Harkaway@nickharkaway.com · 6d agoWorth reading because there’s a depressing amount of lockdown revisionism floating around in 2026.
лятната почивка за човек от морето: събор на рода на майка ми, плаж с братовчедка ми и трите ѝ деца, среща на випуска, кръщене на племенничето, срещи за наваксване със стари приятели и една-две бани на прибежки в 5-те свободни часа, дето се събират за 10 дена
"It was then, in my mid-50s, that I started masturbating for the first time. I had a sexual awakening: I orgasmed for the first time in my life"... men, step it the fuck up. my god. (also, proper sexual education for girls now!)

Аз ли не намирам или наистина няма широка подкрепа на протестиращите студенти и преподаватели от екранни изкуства? Други факултети, академии, университети, гилдия, артаджии, граждани? Видях позиция на Денков и Величков, някои активисти.
You do though, you're blatantly justifying an invasion by "understanding" their nonsense reasons. Because you're someone who's easily manipulated. Someone who can't think critically but sees geopolitics as online discourse to he "won"
Real comment to me I read yesterday: “Besides the Islamophobia, what’s your main gripe with Haley Stevens?” To which I said, what do you means BESIDES?!? That’s all I need to know and it’s totally disqualifying.
this right here is why I can't stand Americans and how they do discourse. they find a way to make everything an opportunity to feel righteous, out of nowhere. this is in response to someone saying Jesus heled make him a better person even though he isn't especially religious

The extruding-plagiarism machine is based on the premise that the talentless can buy talent, because that’s the entire philosophy of VC tech bros - talentless, resentful sociopaths. Pro tip: You are not a writer. You are a thief, a fraud, a talentless hack.
Damon Young@damonyoung.com.au · 2w agoNope. No, you haven’t.
"I have no idea how to get around this." Well, you could learn how to write. Take a class, read some books, write and write and write some more to train yourself into a real writer. "Nah, that sounds boring. I just need to jailbreak ChatGPT!"
