Silly Fred, you can’t release a movie with a year long series of promotions at key times of the year! You wouldn’t believe the advance promotion Homer himself has to do circa 800BC

Wait, The Odyssey still isn’t out? I thought it would be in theaters for the holiday, wasn’t that the whole point?

Your regular reminder that the ghosts of Christmas visited upon Scrooge not some sort of transcendent universal enlightening ethic; they're hauntological corrective policing agents that epouse a long dead morality from previous eras onto the present to eviscerate radical futures.

This is a remarkable forecast discussion from the WPC:

"...heavy rainfall totals for Southern CA will likely occur over an 18 hour period, with widespread 4-7 inch totals, with isolated max amounts of 9"+..."

"...anomalous 850-700 mb moisture flux; 5+ standard deviations above the mean..."

Hello! This thread will be a compilation of various readings I have curated in part to provide good material for studying Soviet history (in my opinion, at least). Each reply underneath will separate by topic, and replies under those will show individual works with information accordingly. 1/2

Still waiting on a response here from the Marble Liberal. A simple “my bad” will do.

This is a slam-dunk violation of NHPA, with an easy precedent:

When they built the addition, they want to run projections through a hole in the original building's facade. Section 106 review required the Kennedy Center to preserve and store a the piece they replaced.

Hey Marble Liberal, you seem to have gone quiet. Let me feed you some prompts to start your reply with: “I’m sorry” “I was wrong” or maybe even “I’ll be more careful about making argumentative assumptions in the future” etc. etc.

I’m saying it’s all at best always interrelated. I wrote a whole book about the tangling of pop culture, policy, and future forward aesthetics
