RIP Demon
Patrick Stewart, who will be remembered most for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and as Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” films, has died at 86.

Men like Cesare Borgia and Ezzelino da Romano are the counterparts and twins of Leonardo da Vinci, Alberti, Michelangelo and others including the hybrid Frederick II Hohenstaufen. All eras of greatness like 1200-1500 Italy, Archaic Greece, 1900-40 Europe are eras of CRIMINALITY.

This one's spectacular. In the 1960s, London's Mews were still being used to keep horses. This clip spoils us with a lovely glimpse of the people, pubs, and lifestyle among the cobbled backstreets that have since become expensive housing. They certainly had more personality then than nowadays. @Britains___Pubs

For many years, I watched every MGTOW, black pill and incel theory video I could, I followed the most cynical and stone cold accounts on twitter dispensing the most bitter trvkes about the Situation between men and women. But it was no use. I believed in Love more than ever.

i was made to read this john donne poem in the seventh grade, which profoundly changed me & which could be a good favorite poem. but i will never trust the poets
"I've been reading enough of this poet I don't know at all to generate a take I can post online."
I've been reading a lot of Anne Carson over the past 24 hours to gather my thoughts about the recent Nobel Prize news. Here goes.
I originally called her a serious scholar and later retracted my statement after digging deeper into her work, but listen—she's still a better writer than the vast majority of writers out there because the bar for contemporary literary writing is so abysmally low. Sure, there's Thomas Pynchon and Salman Rushdie, but who else is really a literary mastermind today? You struggle to name anyone because most good writing just doesn't get published today. The literary establishment has largely declared a boycott on deep, introspective writing with a human soul.
Yes, Carson's win was likely ideologically motivated, but everything getting published today is ideologically motivated as well. The pool for Nobel Prize winners was so weak to begin with that it's no wonder that Carson emerged as a top contender.
If we want good writing back on our shelves, we must call out minimalist slop and topical trash. Great literature has always explored the human condition, and that's what we seem to have forgotten today.

Fascinating book which recounts, among other things, how Welsh miners would read and discuss Hegelian dialectics, completely misunderstanding it due to their limited formal education, and wasting their time in shallow pseudo-intellectual discussion when they might have better spent it drinking or fighting.
