@ancient_catbus It's hard to explain to people who don't know much about his career, but it's a legitimate gut punch that Tony Kushner worked on this. Back in the day, we used to think Angels in America was going to be his more dumbed-down work.

@RisenRabbit For a second I thought you were referring to the novel The Son by Philipp Meyer and I completely agreed but wondered how you also maintained knowledge of literary micro-grudges like I do.

@MullaGjorki @nathanoseroff On the other hand, wouldn't it be funny if Spinoza wrote a book criticizing Roger Scruton

@banananiccce Every gay romance movie from now on looks like a cold ritualistic Jane Austen novel in comparison.

I like how many books the library has on Robert Frost compared to how few people can tolerate him after they are assigned The One of his poems in freshman English.

@FillinghamLydia @leyawn Plato's dialogues use a lot of filler dialogue like that but invariably in the mouths of his students, not Socrates. It's a nice boutique for ancient Greek affirmational phrases you wouldn't find elsewhere.
