A way to be Left and still enjoy the benefits of exploitation. Shopping at Hole Foods and having gay friends as an ablution It works and is entirely more pleasant you don't have to hang with poor people and union folks.
I think "academic" poetry took the left turn into irrelevance at the exact moment the MFA was invented. Work done to impress ones adviser is not likely to be anything but obtuse and rarefied. It also limits the class of "real" poets to college types. Middle class kids that could afford to have a romantic major. Of course there are exceptions and in my opinion these exceptions tend to be stronger poets. Replace poet with painter, journalist, writer or jazz musician and I think it reads as true.
I got a extra we will say that it is from you.
Because it is unpaid Because it assumes that some humans are not as human as others. Because it robs folks of their humanity Because it degrades the morality of the owners. Because it steals labor Because it sets up power relationships that lead to sexual abuse
The author of the book of Kings answers the question of who is fit to be a king by offers us three cases 3 men Saul (a prophet), David (a hero) and Solomon (the wisest man in the world). (s)he than shows us how each of them failed and hence no man should be king. (S)he was prolly some kinda anarchist or romanticized the rule of the Judges. I think the archmagnus Alan Moore is using the same rhetorical plan. He presents us with each of the Superhero archetypes and shows us how they are Naive, unhuman, or just plain evil. The high tech dilettante - is just play acting The heroine - is just furniture the superman - has no human connection the vigilante - is a sociopath the genius - is a conman the super soldier - is a scumbag Capes suck
My theory is that the following scheme leads to fragmentation as size scales up. The structure of future hubski will look more like twitter than reddit. Also following people rather than issues make one remember they are people.
I have spent all morning on reddit and just want to say ,I miss you guys.
My daughter and I have replaced the word retard with Jack Black and retarded with Jack Blacked. So far so good.
I think the anti-union one is more serious in the long run. The tide is in the favor of women's issues in the long run but the light at the end of the workers tunnel is nearly non existent
Once a friend of mine a big Cohen collector called me and said the local record store had the whole catalog and if he should pick it up for me -as he already had everything-. I said I wanted a few things but did not have the dosh for everything. He brought it over then went home another call came asking for it back. Turns out it was his collection his roommate sold it for weed money.
I tend to agree I think follow based schemes like pintrest instagram don't end up like reddit. Also politeness is cultural and I think we have a culture of thoughtfullness here. I am not myself thoughtful but I enjoy it in others.
I only have one exception to take and that is historical.
And I know it only because I am old. Feminism has never been less radical.
Feminists have never been more conciliatory and timid than they are today. I am just gunna throw that out there
Bluebeard puts a pin in midcentury American painting it should be required reading for anyone who wants to pretend to be an artist. Kurt himself said you could skip all of his books and just read Catch-22 instead.
We have always been at war with Eurasia This is not even about terrorism, Law enforcement or public safety. the NSA exists to channel pork. The contractors need to get paid.
yes their political power distorts markets, culture and democracy.
misandry is a stupid word. A word for folks in power that want to steal even victim-hood.
Yes
Urban Poverty = black folks? Canada has close to the U.S. Ethnic / Cultural breakdown I'll say what I always say. in Canada they hunt a lot but they also have very restrictive gun control laws. In Canada less people get shot. Perhaps if Urban poverty is not just code for Black Folks (I am confident you are not using it that way but I like to tease people.) then increasing the minimum wage ending redlining etc would do more to decrease gun violence than less guns. but remember the most common gun crime is a white dude blowing his own head off.
Erykah Badu Coltrane Thelonious Monk u Morton Feldman Benjamin Britain John Adams Pere Ubu NWA Nas RZA Jay-z Miles Davis Albert Ayler Ike Turner Buddy Holly Billie Holiday Elizabeth Cotton Maybelle Carter John Fahey And a few others.
Perhaps as a guard against the suicidal risk that comes with sentience?
If this was a diner party or a evening at the pub with friends.
(which really is what hubski is at least to me) What I would do here is say to geneusutwerk "this is Laurelai - Laurelai this is geneusutwerk I think both of you have an interest in gender politics" y'all would shake hands, realize the other person is a person, mumble greetings/apologies and prolly hit it off. so whatever the online equivalent of this is.
Cops have a full range of political views from center right to fascist. Everybody should spend some time in a police forum.
In America no one likes the poor including ironically the poor.
Always for me for my buddy the humor took a few years to sink in.
For me kleinbloo is the only negative of hubski.
His views are pedestrian to the point of banality. His tone just reddit neckbeard turned up to 11
He pouts he rants he writes 5 paragraph essays about things that don't even require 2 words. He bullies demands site changes belittles anyone who disagrees with any of the tired bullshit he spouts . I have him ignored hushed and whatever that third option is. Still I don't think it okay to drag something he said on reddit a million years ago. Partly because hubski should be a reddit free zone but mostly because why spend time on boring?
And responsible for Manning being behind bars. I refuse to click on a wired story.
