Plums. On a plate (reflective!). With two cherries, because that's how Jacob van Hulsdonck liked it.

we have you surrounded. come out and drink your corn syrup
no no we need another fat white guy with rape allegations
jm@jaubertmoniker.net · 12h agomy favorite part of yet another primary win by a nonwhite person whose opponents were all wildly and explicitly racist against them is how we're still going to be told that the lesson to take away is we need to be less woke
the idea of free will and the idea of things being a social construct are basically the same idea
Wir gedenken heute der katholischen Widerständlerin Eva-Maria Buch (1921–1943), die als Mitglied der „Roten Kapelle“ andere Menschen vor der Verhaftung bewahrte und schließlich in Berlin-Plötzensee hingerichtet wurde: „Wartet ab in Geduld, bis auch Ihr gerufen werdet.“
they made ozempic and ai because society didn't put enough emphasis on disordered eating and hallucinated bullshit. it was a real problem
Generative AI is catnip to the men who miss female sycophants katemanne.substack.com/p/a-culture-...
A Culture Hooked on Generative AI is a Culture that Misses Female Sycophants
And we have missed a central reason why AI is a feminist issue

millennial culture was just eli roth/joss whedon/ben wheatley horror movies where there are barely adult women in booty shorts and everyone dies
of course, it was never going to last, you can soyface about how asian or non-anglo white or whatever women need the wasp man stamp of approval to be really accepted in the professions for like two generations and then there are no more wasps
one of the biggest blackpills to me, fortunately this isn't true anymore, but all the big female historians of american academia in the, let's say, second half of the 20th century have names like natalie zemon davis, joan wallach scott, sabine oswalt maccormack
Personally I wouldn’t subject myself to the humiliation of getting all misty eyed over someone like this, and begging people to choose kindness but hey, I’m not a fucking idiot so
Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · 2d agoSad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.
![An excerpt from an article by Rod Liddle in THE SPECTATOR. Content warning: mockery of child sexual abuse.
The text reads: "I never found out because the one thing stopping me from being a teacher was that I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids. It seemed to me virtually impossible not to, and I was convinced that I'd be right in there, on day one. We're talking secondary school level here, by the way — and even then I don't think I'd have dabbled much below year ten, as it is now called. I just thought we ought to clear that up early on. At my old comprehensive school a few teachers were known to be schtupping the pupils; one of them, a female teacher who was extremely foxy in a Pot Noodle scuzzy kind of way — she copped off with some fifth-form lad, and another teacher (a man with a guitar and a [...]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3ls2ei5dm7e5gymlwny2dygw/bafkreiclz3nwngy2fhziqe3dqnyyiog47dpcaeysetseb6e3us2sf2nthm)
the odyssey is kind of stupid. many have been led astray by the act of forgetting this basic fact
I’ve seen in two culture /higher ed magazines recently the claim that the printing press engendered a crisis of authority at universities bc anyone could publish what they wanted and people could learn things without universities. This is not true.
'settle this debate' is internet for 'i am opening this debate'

forgot that dante sent odysseus to hell for being christopher columbus
they should make an odysseus who just fucking dies. not in a christian way as a beggar slaughtered by ingrates, but because even being big sad about the horse isn't enough
dunno if i'm just built different but if my spouse was ignoring me for someone younger or started talking about how men work soooooooOOOOOOoooo hard and the least they deserve is a woman who looks like (picture of 17-year-old gigi hadid) i'd just go "ah yeah they're all pedos after all"
we as millennial and zoomer women have an absolute duty not to reproduce in ourselves the classic "gen x woman who goes around demanding a medal for her eating disorder, insists that every man deserves a victoria's secret model and this is natural and cool, but also hates every younger woman"
pretty much all 'conservative' or 'religious' discourse about 'modesty' online is about being as hot as possible while wearing dresses. gaining 15 pounds to scare the pedos off is absolutely forbidden though. you have to be 'modest' for the pedos. it's your duty as a woman.
showbiz continues to push ariana grande on purpose because it wants to remind women that death by starvation is preferable to not being underweight at all
i'm team 'voluble' for polytropos for the record though i stand by every word i said about the odyssey being the young sheldon of its time
"rom-com" is short for "roman commerce". olives and garum and suchlike
'Bring me the head of John the Baptist...' The Baptist's head presented to Salome in St-Séverin, Paris, from a large scheme installed to replace medieval glass destroyed during the 1871 Paris Commune, paid for by parishioners whose real faces appear in the glass. A scene from today's Gospel.
'Salome with the head of John the Baptist'. Benjamin West, 1763 in the Ferens Art Gallery, Hull. 'But when Herod's birthday was kept The daughter of Herodias danced before them, And pleased Herod. And she, being before instructed of her mother, Said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.'
