Jonathan Lear's Aristotle: the Desire to Understand was pivotal in some of my first encounters with Aristotle. I found Aristotle and Logical Theory later, but it became a key inspiration for how to think about core parts of the corpus...1/2

I'm in the Guardian talking about domestíc abúse, poetry and getting my ID checked at the British Book Awards. So grateful I've been given a platform to speak about things that are overexperienced and underreported. 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I actually thought that the weirdest part of the book to me, the part that was the most striking when I got to it, was when you quote Nietzsche on Judaism. And you say this is an incorrect interpretation of Judaism, but you quote Nietzsche writing: It was the Jews who, with awe-inspiring consistency, dared to invert the aristocratic value equation: Good equals noble, equals powerful, equals beautiful, equals happy, equals beloved of God. And to hang on to the inversion with their teeth, saying: The wretched alone or the good. The poor, impotent, lonely alone are the good. The suffering, deprived, sick, ugly, alone or pious, alone or blessed by God. And you disagree with Nietzsche that’s the right interpretation of Judaism and then ultimately of Christianity. And I also think that it’s an immoral view of the world. Right. This is what I want to get at. I do not think that poverty somehow creates value in humans more than riches create value in humans. What you do in the world is what makes you a good or a bad person. I agree with that, actually. I both understand that and agree with that. And that’s why I say that Nietzsche is wrong, by the way. Because the Bible explicitly says you’re not supposed to favor the rich or the poor.

I do find Shapiro's understanding of both Nietzsche and Judaism/Christianity to be utterly fascinating (in that I think it's a *really* poor understanding of both):

I’m sure it’s still hard…may her memory be a blessing

holy shit wait there’s no way

Ich befürchte, dass die USA sehr dunkle Tage vor sich hat. Die Art und Weise, wie Kirk zum Märtyrer stilisiert wird, ist ohne Vergleich. Die Wucht, mit der die reichweiten-stärksten MAGA-Persönlichkeiten der „Linken“ die Schuld für den Tod des Aktivisten geben, wird nicht ohne Folgen bleiben.

We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.

Good excuse to post my favourite Onion headline.

Kind of funny they’re not also reading Book IX as well, especially with the portrait of the tyrant

Amanda Anisimova beating Iga Swiatek at the US Open after losing to her in the Wimbledon finals 6-0, 6-0 is just awesome.

It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

I was able to write something in Santa Fe this summer to be burned!

Can AIs suffer? Big tech and users grapple with one of most unsettling questions of our times As first AI-led rights advocacy group is founded, industry is divided on whether models are, or can be, sentient

People grappling with AI rights are going to have their minds blown when they find out about humans and other animals.
