Oh no, I sort of agree with Schopenhauer's critique of Schelling. Schelling repeats Spinoza's error of drawing "the line between the ideal and the real, or the subjective and the objective world, from the wrong place." Extension is still representation, for better or worse.
what i look like if you even care
Since the FBI is considering labelling us nihilistic violent extremists, I'll share my NVE thought of the day:
the trick for ramen chef Anh from Culinary Class Wars recommends (adding a whole head of roast garlic) works for sausage ragu
first bill to my knowledge trying to outright make support for BDS illegal. this amendment to the pentagon budget passed the house
people who care about palestine should take the time to read Boebert's amendment to the pentagon budget. from the way this is worded the pentagon could order food but not buy technology from businesses with ties to bds
The French lycee near me being back in session is great for the neighborhood but it also means the lines at the Trader Joe at lunch are now impossibly long.
Just realized that the reason my hyperthyroidism was masked for so long is that lithium can mimic the effects of hypothyroidism.
i'm not saying anything is anything, other than it's really noteworthy that a surge of newsom supporters came out of nowhere and continually post things like "why don't you uppity trannies accept gavin as your slop god. i used to support you freaks" whenever we say we don't really like him
This post brought to you by going to a concert with a gen z crowd that waved their phones instead of the lighters I grew up with.
Thinking about Marx's summary of Hegel: "It is the bad side that produces the movement which makes history, by providing a struggle." The 1st part is a decent pocket Hegel, let down by the 2nd part. The bad side moves through struggle, but even more through decay and laziness.
Still haven't gotten over the fact that the cover of the American editions of Reich features diagrams that look like fancy butt plugs.
Frankfurt School style 'cultural logics' can make pretty good naturalistic sense if we think they are about a practice or ideology's gradient in a cultural-evolution fitness landscape rather than about its internal structure
Previous presidents were more like this than moderates tend to admit. Republicans lionize Reagan as a great statesman; was he really so different? Both men came to power as a result of their media careers. Reagan was mildly more inhibited? Before the dementia?
It went well enough that the next day I made them dinner. Forgive the split pesto, their kitchen had very few ingredients ok
Hi bluesky, I'm going on a date today. First time wearing the klein bottle as a pendant.
Oh good, reporters from the onion are just straight up reporting the news. I'm sure that means our media environment is healthy and functioning.
I know this is prob too optimistic, but I tend to think they are saving their ammo for a case where they want to overwhelmingly rule against Trump. I could somehow forgive all this shit if it means they can do a landmark ruling on trans passports and overturn the EO.
civilization is going great
Imagine living through concentration camps and concluding that it's fine if you're not on the receiving end. I'm a Jewish Israeli btw, to preempt any trolls
This is extraordinarily well-written, and I'm not just saying that bc my name is Shulie
This probably won't reach anyone that needs to see it, but please learn from my mistake. Don't use azelaic acid to treat electrolysis pigmentation while you are still getting electrolysis, it dries out your skin and makes it hurt 2-3x as much as normal.
tiktok figured out where i live and the algorithm has decided to bombard me with location specific content. even worse, i dont hate it
30 Rock, Somebody to Love, 2007
this is from the episode where liz lemon mistakenly gets her neighbor arrested
The United States is bombing Iran, but the real Ayatollahs are the professors at America’s elite universities.
I still think there's hope for trans rights on this court, but only if we change strategy. We need to say we fit into uncontroversial bits of the law. Personally, I think the 1st amendment is a much better target, the rights that matter flow from freedom of conscience and expression.
It's unwise to take an already controversial bit of the law and make it even more controversial. It's like saying that Trump has the right to deport everyone because it was ok to keep Japanese people in camps. More importantly, it asks the justices to decide what sex is, which they want to avoid.
Ok I know this take will be unpopular and will probably age like milk, but I think the court's latest trans decision isn't as crazy as it looks. Honestly, they're right, defending trans people on the basis of equal protection is a bad strategy.
this is good news, but until the supreme court confirms that trans people exist and are protected by the constitution I remain anxious. we are protected by the 1st amendment, in case you're wondering
imagine needing help from an AI to become psychotic. some of us still do it the old fashioned way by noticing patterns in the numbers
absolutely. a good example is the lord and bondsman stuff which is definitely not a historically grounded analysis of slavery. reminds me a bit of kant's distinction between being an active partcipant in the french revolution and sitting in germany and thinking it is sublime
