grimly funny that in The Dark Knight, Batman’s city-wide surveillance is the moral crucible, the point at which he has clearly gone too far, while in Brand New Day it’s just something that Spider-Man does.

I’m having a hard time with people in my community saying things like: 1. The government can’t be trusted with things like healthcare. 2. We need small government, not more government. 3. I’m glad that Flock cameras monitor me and everyone I know just in case someone around here might be a criminal.

The Reflecting Pool, which suffered great damage due to the Vandals and Radical Left SCUM that hate our Country, has been, for the past two days, in full operation. It looks beautiful!
After July 4th, we will release the water, fix the damage done to the very expensive waterproof matting, with the use of sharp knives and muscle, including the 350 foot gash along its right side, and have it looking as good as it was two weeks ago, when it was absolutely PERFECT! This will all happen very quickly. Security is watching very carefully for the almost 70 other Monuments, Statues, and Fountains that we renovated throughout Washington, D.C. If anyone attacks any of them, they get as much as 10 years in jail.
In any event, go check it out - The Reflecting Pool is magnificent! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

(Odyssey spoilers for character, not plot) the most historically accurate thing about The Odyssey is how we spend three hours watching a man make 12 bad decisions for every good one while all the other men describe him as exceptionally smart and strategic

When this is all over, we need to choose a leader who has the integrity, strength, and courage to apologize. To the country. To the world; friend and foe alike. We broke the window. We stole the candy bar. We need to own our offenses if we every hope to learn, grow, and rebuild trust.

As a professor, one “tell” that always gives away an AI generated essay is when the student neglects to talk about Batman. Real academic authors understand that every topic relates to Batman in some way, while current AI models can’t yet make the connections. I am vengeance, I am the dark night.

I think Peterson sees the left’s desire for justice and equity as some kind of selfish resentment of the “have-nots” against the rightful earned favor of God upon his chosen “haves”, a disruption of the natural hierarchies as well as (perhaps) God’s supernatural ones. 🧵

This is an unhinged reading from Peterson - and I'd note that the Gospel text is insistent that Judas is motivated not by genuine concern for the poor, but by greed (he has his hand in the common purse). Tom's also right that the brazen serpent is from a completely different story to that of Cain.

well I heard there was a cyclospore that found its way to the grocery store but you never eat lettuce before it goes bad, do ya well we needed a scapegoat for it all and Taco Bell, it took the fall but Taylor Farms was the one who sold it to ya hallelujah

Haven't seen the Nolan one yet and I realise this isn't exactly a novel take but it's kinda wild how The Odyssey is seen by some as this super intimidating work (it certainly was when we were younger and studied it at uni) when the reality is that it's kinda just Anime As Hell. Funnest shit ever

what i'd like to contribute to the ongoing masculinity discourse is that the truest sign of a fella's manfulness isn't his strength or his height or his successes with women. it's not about his job or how he dresses. it's about whether he has a cell-level desire to dig a big hole at the beach
