all the smart guys who keep gesturing at this and saying things “libraries, anyone????” are not considering the other part of the pice about books becoming more generic. how many vollmann books have we lost because he’s spent his time fighting publishers who won’t print in 11 typefaces and 3 colors

Nute@nutedawn.bsky.social

Correct, nobody does this because that would obviously be fucking stupid

why is publishing dying?

Slavoj Žižek has my dream job. I watched him speak in front of a crowd for 45 minutes uninterrupted about whatever he felt like while the host watched helplessly. when he finally finished she said "wise words" and he said "I HATE WISDOM" then started talking again

what is the best in-print magazine dealing with current events, news, politics etc? i’ve subscribed to monthly review for years and i’ll probably stay subscribed to it but i’m looking for something else. is there a version of the economist that isn’t trash ideology wise?

my kids ask me to tell them stories all the time and i don’t think i’m very good at it so this caught my interest while i was scrolling and then i started flipping through the photos and it’s all just … shit about advertising? is advertising called storytelling now?

I can’t stop singing “cheater traitor communist, diaper shitting piece of shit!” in my head to the tune of “JFK blown away, what else do I have to say!”

whether or not you’re a scientist, you should absolutely have opinions about science, in particular younshould have thoughts about the epistomology and ethics of science

the thing about dolly is either (1) she could just rip off the most beautiful rendition of any song you ever heard at any time with no real effort or (2) she put in immense effort to be the greatest but had so much personality you just believed she was doing from the wellspring of her heart

The shaman of Bad Dürrenberg are the remains of a 25-35 year old woman, who was buried 8600 to 9000 year ago in Germany. Around her, were the remains of an extraordinary head-dress, made from the bones and teeth of different animals such as deer, wild boar, crane and turtle.

my favorite part was when the guy throws spears through the hole in the ceiling, and the Pattinson yells “the spears! get the spears!” and then guy throws shields down, and Pattinson yells “get the shields! shields!” then guy throws swords and Pattinson says “get the swords!” script of a genius

9. By far my favorite thing in the film is Robert Pattinson's hilarious and sexy Antinous. If anyone ever wants to make a spin off TV series with Antinous risen from the dead to mess with other mythical households, I would be so there for it.

wow really calling it like it is there, rahm

have you considered reading the wax child by olga ravn and becoming so obsessed with the nation formation projects and christian V and land reform that you go looking for, and buying, things like this in cph book stores?

Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social

And let me be clear: I don’t care if you’re progressive, moderate, or conservative. I’ve worked with Democrats across the ideological spectrum. We didn’t always agree, but we understood that building a stronger Democratic Party was part of the job.

incredible how this dipshit is achieving the leftist goals of managed degrowth and an end to american hegemony and the rise of the multipolar world through pure idiocy

Great moment in the body cam footage where the cop shows up to the Food Not Bombs event and makes the mistake of asking a mutual aid group who's in charge.

airlines must be destroyed

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

Learned from my 101-year-old grandfather that one problem of being a centenarian is that airlines apparently only have a 2-digit age variable, meaning that every time he shows up at the airport, the data in the system at the check-in counter thinks he's a 1-year-old unaccompanied child.
