It’s a slow moving apocalypse but it’s picking up speed.

maybe we should read this as Tolkien-style magic, she was actually casting a spell when she said this. YOU CANNOT PASS [me up for president of the United States]

As much as I hate Democrats, she was probably telling the truth

Y’ALL SHOULD’VE POKÉMON GONE TO THE POLLS!!!

they only maligned that riff because it was that woman saying it. if some dorky dad pol, like michael bennet (sorry, .@centristmadness.bsky.social) or brian kemp said it, or cool pol like bernie or pramila jayapal, it would have been accepted as zinger. cillizza would have built monuments to it.

HRC continues to be right about basically everything Man, we should've voted for the email lady

We did..just not enough of us thought she could lose.

Is Agamben still a thing? I read him several years ago, but heard nothing since the pandemic.

he has been all over the place and his followers all over the place so while it is (obnoxious wordplay here) it is real, it is many things in between it is real and still a thing … still a rēs (latin) one may even call it a residue

residue having nothing language wise with rēs and that’s the joke (like I said earlier I am being obnoxious, I am a hack langague wise for I notice patterns and loan words but I am not a word scholar which one kind of needs to be to get in translation debates such as Agamben)

Yeah, I resonate with the main thrust of argument. I was somewhat enticed by Agamben's critique of Christian sources, but couldn't swallow the deconstruction of "anthropological machine" bit.

he was a bit cranky about the pandemic but he's more relevant than ever i think if you avoid reading too much into his COVID interventions

agreed.
