this perfectly captures this entire administration’s “the emperor has no clothes” energy
we are all expected to pretend this man is the King of Health, and he himself believes it, which is why he confidently in front of witnesses attempted a thing he cannot do, knowing they will all say that he did

I’ve forgotten this sometimes but being able to discover something you like, curate it, and make time to enjoy it *is* intelligence, connecting with art is intelligence, empathy is intelligence, the way of the dullard is to find nothing meaningful in art except for a way to seem snidely clever

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

It is this quiet, persistent practice of seeing clearly and letting go that transforms our lives. There is no need for elaborate rituals or rigid adherence to techniques.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

tolkien was incredibly inconsistent on orcs himself, honestly. you can see it throughout the letters. the problem is that when we hear them talk they're clearly sapient, self-motivated creatures with a concept of right and wrong, albeit a deeply broken one.
Admittedly I do wonder if what all of this basically comes down to is the fact that some of you not only don't believe in the idea of supernatural evil (I don't either!) but also find it fundamentally so hard to conceptualise that you think any attempt to depict it is masking something else.
So much comes down to whether the fictional creation is presented as a personlike thing with an inner life or as something which has no inner life as we understand it, a monster (if animalistic enough) or a demon. But a lot of people online are deeply uncomfortable with the idea of the latter.

I can’t really defend this on any level, but I think believing in vampires is more reasonable in some place in Canada compared to others. Believing in vampires if you live in Montreal is reasonable. There are no vampires in Calgary.

precisely. it turns out instruction, education, is often forcing someone to do something they ultimately do not want to do, at least by a first approximation and sometimes for years of their life. so much crying about traditional education "deserving this" is rooted in it.

even every theory of pedagogy kinda falls apart in the face of "but they've gotta want to learn and you can't make em want things they don't want" and so it goes also with AI - i find it really helpful personally in learning math but i am a sicko who learns math for fun

🧵 Awful awful massacre in Brazil
Gente, é o maior massacre no Brasil desde o Araguaia. Entendo quem quer puxar pra Canudos ou Contestado ou etc, mas não podemos livrar a ditadura de 64 só porque ela escondia melhor seus corpos.
Morreram 41 guerrilheiros comunistas e mais de 1200 camponeses no Araguaia.

urgently need you guys to know that this French politician below 1) didn't know he'd been appointed as a minister until he saw it on TV 2) reacted by going: "bah pfff voilà"
Le nouveau ministre de la Ruralité, Michel Fournier, raconte avoir appris sa nomination à la télé
Le plus vieux ministre nommé sous la Ve République précise avoir discuté avec le Premier ministre «deux jours avant», sans que rien ne soit arrêté. «Comment j’ai réagi ? Bah pfff voilà», résume-t-il.
