I meant more that you have to spend way too much time addressing: wait what? that’s not how it works. But seriously it isn’t. Here’s a million things saying it doesn’t.

It’s the law version of dealing with this.

For the record I was joking. With no exceptions…except maybe the Threadnaught.

That’s easy, you just ask the ai to show you all the relevant papers and to summarize the findings.

I regret to inform you that the invasion of the shire happened in the third age, not the Middle Ages.

He has done so many terrible things, especially to the trans community. Remind me which thing in particular the original post was about? It’s hard to keep track of all the lines in the sand people keep saying he won’t be allowed to cross.

Sexual selection by choosing for aesthetics bc the aesthetics demonstrate you are thriving is admittedly not an easy conclusion when you’re looking at fitness from an evolutionary/reproduction framework.

Go for it! It’s a great way to explore the museums wherever you live, and makes even weird or normally uninteresting to you exhibits really fun.

Anyways most good art does not hit you over the head with sledgehammer bludgeoning you with its meaning. And even if you explicitly say SAURON IS EVIL, some idiot is going to say yeah but his all seeing eye and communication orbs are super neat and I’m going to name my company after that.

Jesus crucified on a fighter jet

Jesus crucified on a fighter jet

β€˜The co-option or subjugation of Christianity by the military industrial complex.’

My date accused me of having come in previously and seen the plaque, trying to impress her.

It was Jesus crucified on a US Air Force bomber. It’s NOT subtle.

Ferrari’s β€˜La civilizaciΓ³n occidental y cristiana’.

This does remind me of going to the Walker Art Gallery on a second date. The date concept was to take turns being the docent explaining art we’d never seen before to each other.

And there was a piece that just SPOKE to me. And my explanation was almost word for word the info plaque.

I hesitate to try and manufacture new artificial bogeymen when there are so many actual ones out there.

You can dislike his writing or think LOTR is overblown, but to claim he’s a failed artist because some autocratic technocrats are fanboys of his is beyond laughable.

That’s like saying ray Bradbury failed an artist at Fahrenheit 451 because he intended it to be a warning against tv and anti intellectualism not censorship.

It’s like saying Serrano failed as an artist because people find Piss Christ blasphemous.

This isn’t a good basis for assessing art.

Still not horny enough and also Bluesky is too big for complete and utter context collapse where everybody saw the same three skeets and half the comments were insane discourse and the other half the comments were people just stating that they don’t know what is going on.
