Death of the author is so ridiculously employed these days by people who absolutely do not want to examine the importance of authorial intent, I’m convinced it’s because they just don’t want to admit when they are wrong.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

I too love how the French are always ready to riot at a moments notice, but sometimes the "why aren't we like this" discourse irks me
I dunno, have you noticed they can spray liquid cow shit at a gov building w/o five cops immediately trying to beat them to death? Maybe that's a factor.

Basically, the choice is to have an app where people get in trouble for this kind of thing, or an app where people are constantly making death threats.

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

In ancient times, powerful people didn't bother to learn how to read or write, they just purchased people who knew how to do it for them. And then more recently we pretended we were more enlightened than that but basically it just stayed that way.

Save my dying baby in the ICU! My heart is breaking. My baby is between life and death in the ICU due to fractures in her chest. Every breath she takes is a struggle, and every day that passes increases her desperate need for help. But the costs are beyond my means.🙏💔
