I really enjoyed his book “The Swerve” too. Thanks for putting this one on my radar! I agree, he is a great writer.

More Americans think they can beat a grizzly bear in a fight than want to fight Iran.

Gilles Deleuze & Felix Guattari: Intersecting Lives by François Dosse or, more likely, Deleuze, Philosophy, and the Creation of Concepts by Axel Cherniavsky, translated by the one and only @tayloradkins.bsky.social

Both Deleuze and Guattari? Kafka. Just Deleuze? Is a toss-up between Difference and Repetition and Nietzsche.

A very fresh fish here

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

Fuck Garrett Hardin (1915–2003)

i've played like 10 hours of 2025 and it's a huge letdown. graphics aren't improved at all, same boring fetch quests, and they still refuse to implement any of the QoL changes everyone's been asking for

Fuck Nikolai Bukharin (1888–1938))

Just reread Dark Deleuze over the last couple hours. Though deeply provocative, it is not a mere provocation. Do not let its brevity fool you. This is a serious scholarly work!

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.)

The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

A photograph of a photoshopped book cover adapted from the book cover for philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s book, Beyond Good and Evil. At the center, Nietzsche is wearing a Santa hat. Instead of “Beyond Good and Evil,” the text reads “Beyond Naughty and Nice.”

Better late than never: Merry Christmas to those celebrating!

Once he retires, he could still have an incredibly successful career in coaching, broadcasting, or as a wrestler in the WWE. A renaissance man if you will!

If you’re looking for something more philosophical: Practical Philosophy by Gilles Deleuze.

Very insightful discussion here between Craig from @acidhorizon.bsky.social and @roberthlangan.bsky.social. As per usual, Lepht Hand puts out yet another great episode. Highly recommend!

If you’re introducing to young children the ethical frameworks of deontology vs. consequentialism, then yes. I cannot figure out its utility in any other circumstance.

Fuck Karl Kautsky (1854–1938)

For those curious, the poems are titled “Mein Glück,” “Warum ich so klug bin,” and “Die Sonne sinkt.”

Working on the translation of Nietzsche’s Venetian poems.

Guy de Pourtalés says: “For Nietzsche, who escaped from his educational prison, Venice was nothing more than the exquisite city of silence and mediation.”

One who reads the poems will clearly see that Venice is more than that for Nietzsche

I believe this is also because the victims’ families sued the venue, not the event planner.
