Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?

Cover art for James Stephanie Sterling’s podcast showing a stock image of a locker room which was also used in Strokkur because there’s only so many royalty-free locker room photos.

Three Kingdoms has the best insults :3
"Who told you to rebel?" said Dong Zhuo. Wu Fu glared at him and cried, "You are not my prince, I am not your minister: Where is the rebellion? Your crimes fill the heavens, and every person would slay you. I am sorry I cannot tear you asunder with chariots to appease the wrath of the world!"

This is one example of them kinda blithely skipping over the central problem.

Are the conservatives that they need to sign on to abundance going to appreciate that some positive fraction of govt spending is forever earmarked to WF&A (and isn’t going directly to their constituents’)?
The rules exist for a reason, Doench acknowledged. Some scientists in the past probably abused their funding. But just as environmental laws passed in response to twentieth-century problems created a crisis of building in the twenty-first century, the paperwork cure in science is sometimes worse than the disease.

I’ve been taking a break from being too bitchy about Abundance but we’re rolling out of hibernation to post this egregious equivocation fallacy.
The state is dominated by Democrats, but many of the people Democrats claim to care about most can’t afford to live there.

A master class in sounding deep while saying nothing of substance.
It is childish to declare government the problem. It is just as childish to declare government the solution. Government can be either the problem or the solution, and it is often both.

It takes some real balls to assert this to a reading audience that is statistically over forty.
Now imagine dozing off for another thirty-year nap between 1990 and 2020. You would wonder at the dazzling ingenuity that we funneled into our smartphones and computers. But the physical world would feel much the same.

I can tell already that they aimed for a bottom-of-the-barrel reading level. This book is written in such simple language that it can be incredibly difficult to understand.

1602 people highlighted this part of the Kindle edition: what the fuck does it mean?
“The difference between an economy that grows and an economy that stagnates is change. When you grow an economy, you hasten a future that is different. The more growth there is, the more radically the future diverges from the past. We have settled on a metaphor for growth that erases its most important characteristic.”

I mean, yeah, I was kinda thinking about it. Thought that was your concept of a plan of a business model?

Well, good luck with that.

Oh, Žizek, you were so close to greatness.
Problems begin with the question: where does the root “becile” preceded by the negation (“im-”) come from? Although the origins are murky, it is probably derived from the Latin baculum (stick, walking stick, staff), so an “imbecile” is someone walking around without the help of a stick.

I think I'm falling in love.
"Sheaves were first introduced in French as faisceaux. Owing to this Romance etymology, and noting the lack of a corresponding formal Germanic counterpart, we are forced to conclude that the adjectivization of sheaf is fascist, fitting their authoritarian meta-theory."
