"Gatien, in a kind of transcendental deduction, realized that if the audience was now the show, then the show itself has its own show: 'Even though no one readily admits it, the mundane reason anyone comes out to a club is for people-watching.'”

"Yet Garland wants us to focus on January 6, while remaining curiously reticent about the unpunished and unidentified murderer of Ashli Babbitt and the persistent rumors and evidence that many of the protestors were either let into the Capitol by police or were FBI plants to begin with. Have you noticed how Garland’s precious FBI is so loath to investigate that?"

"For example, take a gander at 35-year-old Nashea Brown. She stands accused of terrorizing a Walmart in Knoxville, Tennessee by taking off her clothes, defecating on herself, and wielding an ax at others. The news report states she 'was found in the sporting goods section with an ax and a knife tucked into her bra,' and I think there’s a participle dangling somewhere there along with her presumably dangling chocolatey teats — unless this miracle woman is capable of tucking an ax into her bra."

"Undine, being a water spirit, almost makes her the genus loci of Berlin. The city was built on sandy marshes, and Berlin’s water table lies within a few feet of the surface. Many foundations for buildings have to be poured by scuba divers."

"Orwell knew that many people in England would enthusiastically crush private life there too. In his wonderful little essay 'Some Thoughts on the Common Toad' (1946), he pointed out one of the great truths of existence: 'a toad has about the most beautiful eye of any living creature.' But he also said that 'I know by experience that a favourable reference to "Nature" in one of my articles is liable to bring me abusive letters.'"

Now that Jumeteemf is replacing Independence Day, let's put George Floyd on the Three Dollah bill.

"And the academy wanted it to be very clear to students that when they went home for winter break and mom was going to a BLM protest or dad was announcing his transition, that was not the moment for the Olympian gaze."

Phony as a three dollah bill

"Though the paper remains influential, critics have misinterpreted the findings. The argument is that Europeans established extractive institutions in regions where the environment was inhospitable to long-term settlement to reap short-term gains. Although the authors are not incorrect, their conclusion more broadly confirms the resource course. Economic literature suggests that an abundance of resources fails to stimulate innovation. Resource-rich countries are afforded several options to make money, so they are not pressured to innovate, hence marketing their assets could be a cheaper alternative."

"Film noir is about sin, the wages of sin, and occasionally, it’s about light and shade and spaces in between. I don’t think Jews really grasp the concept of sin. Sin is not mere degeneracy or hedonism. Sin is consciously choosing what one knows to be evil. In Farewell, My Lovely, Phillip Marlow says he likes 'smooth shiny girls, hardboiled and loaded with sin.' I don’t think you have to be a Christian to understand what he means by that, but you do have to be a gentile."

"We can now see that Kant’s theoretical philosophy . . . and his moral philosophy converge, and that they move toward a genuinely radical new position. And this position is once more an explicit expression of a basic trend that had always been latent in modernity itself, a trend in the modern Zeitgeist: the conviction that what is is nothing more than material to be transformed according to the subject’s ideas and intentions. Further, this trend is now underwritten by Kant’s moral idealism: we have a duty to transform what is according to our vision of what ought to be."

"Conservatives were thrilled with the bishops’ proposal and felt it was necessary to induce politicians to follow church teaching. But the intense backlash doesn’t appear to show it changing political behavior. Moreover, the flock may be more inclined to side with Biden."

"Perhaps the saddest aspect of London’s observations is the way in which the poor will still cheer and weep at the pomp and pageantry of those partly responsible for their plight. London’s visit to his namesake city coincided with the coronation, on August 9, 1902, of King Edward VII, and London viewed the procession of the new monarch and his Queen, Alexandra. The chapter is one of the most powerful in the book, and shows both London’s skills as a journalist, and the fathomless sadness of celebration among those Abyss-dwellers who require something to celebrate, as they have nothing else."

"The delicious irony is that this atheist hater of any and all things religious, who devoted his life to serving the impersonal laws of history, was engorged with chemicals that turned him into an eternal, very personal object of religious veneration."

"Carl Laemmle, a German-born Jew and head of Universal Pictures, stepped in to see if he could rectify the matter. In negotiations with the German government, Laemmle asked what he could do to get All Quiet on the Western Front back on the screens. The Germans demanded eight cuts which they considered inflammatory or offensive to German sensibilities. But here’s the twist: they wanted those cuts to be made in all versions of the movie in every country where it was playing, not just the German version (which was already edited). Universal agreed, and by September of 1931, All Quiet on the Western Front was back on German screens again in a heavily edited form."
