@UnrulyAstrid It's Mœbius! Only perhaps the greatest Franco-Belgian artist (surpassing Hergé in my opinion), with long-running works in both sci-fi and western. I highly recommend looking into The Incal, a psychedelic sci-fi romp based on the tarot he did alongside Alejandro Jodorowsky!!!!

I enjoy the Hans Christian Andersen story, The Emperor’s New Clothes as much as anybody, but I think there’s something far more sharper—as a child, Andersen stood, waiting, in a large crowd waiting to see King Frederick VI, and upon finally seeing him said, ‘Oh, he’s just a man’

@AgnesCallard If you misinterpreted The Matrix as an extended riff on Plato’s allegory of the cave, and failed to understand that The Matrix is a lot more than that, you'd make comments like you did. Or you’re intentionally saying bad things to get a rise out of people? I dunno, it’s weird

Excellent intro by @claraemattei regarding her new book, The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism https://t.co/0TerW8Zbxn

I’ve read most of the popular conservative intellectual books out there—you know, The Turner Diaries, God and Man at Yale, that Roger Scruton book about that one time he wanted to have sex with a horse

Anyway, for some unrelated reason, here are some incomprehensible charts from Jordan Peterson's book, Maps of Meaning, a pseudo-scholarly work of muddled thinking and baffling quasi-connections--which predated Peterson's swift descent into extremist, reactionary thinking https://t.co/eYU0q4QkZw

It’s funny how Steven Pinker maps so perfectly onto Voltaire’s Candide and he’s coincidentally the favourite author of Bill Gates, one of the richest men in history. Also, that he helped out with Jeffrey Epstein’s legal defence https://t.co/RcEiDUXKgg

Lawrence Brown coined the term ‘the Black butterfly’ to describe how Black Baltimoreans were segregated into two regions. If you lived in either area you were likely exposed to high levels of lead, but if you lived elsewhere you did not, as one concrete example https://t.co/VvxIwTU5ni

Christina Sharpe’s (@hystericalblkns) book, Ordinary Notes, will be published April 4, 2023. From reading these two passages alone, I recommend purchasing her book. https://t.co/qseGVNKL1k https://t.co/KyhqrdDfR3
