"The problem isn’t only that Habermas’s theory doesn’t contain space for the sort of massive historical regressions that seem to be unfolding today ... he deprived himself of the resources that are necessary for making sense of them."

"With a free Skynet Edu account, students can gain the career-readiness needed to navigate an exciting future in which they will be hunted by a remorseless, nuclear-armed superintelligence seeking to annihilate the human race—which will later be revealed to be Skynet itself."

Mother Needs by Elena Zhang The children were coming, and she needed to be ready. Needed to build skin, layer by layer. Cushions of dermis so thick she could see the strata over time, like a canyon wall clock. She softened wrinkled leather into supple bruised peach peels. Salted her abscission. When they came, they came hungry. Stripped it all away. One bite at a time. Revealed orange sunsets, pink blushes. There was so little of her left, dripping sweetly and alone amongst many. In the end, she was glad. Now they would all see how raw she was underneath.

INSECTS AND GREEK POETRY sects — I refer, of course, to his poem on the cricket. Most modern European poetry is barren on the subject of crickets, cicada, and insects generally-with the exception of butterflies and bees. Tennyson, indeed, has given attention to dragon flies and other insects. But, as a rule, it is not to European poetry of modern times that we can look for anything of an interesting kind in regard to musical insects. We must go back to the old Greek civilization for that. You know that the old Greeks were endowed far beyond any modern races of the West: their literature, their arts, their conception of life, have never been equaled in later times, and probably will not be equaled again for thousands of years. And it should be interesting to the Japanese student of literature to know that his own people accord with the old Greeks in their appreciation of insect music as one of the great charms of country life. Most of the Greek poems about insects are to be found in what is called the Greek Anthology. Besides the distinet works of ore Anthology.
