TIL that Howard Fast published Spartacus (1951) after spending three months in prison for refusing to cooperate with McCarthy's witchhunt. He was blacklisted and had to self-publish his novel. Fast left the Communist party in 1957, and Crown picked up Spartacus in 1958. My lecture tomorrow...

Tastes in beauty are not only subjective, but also cultural and historical. Jean Paul Belmondo, a French movie idol, has a very different look than Gary Cooper or Brad Pitt. Marilyn Monroe doesn't move me at all, while Sophia Loren does.

Are there aesthetic preferences with supporting evidence? I claim that Shakespeare is the greatest dramatist of all time. What evidence is there for that? Or that maybe Sophocles is the greatest dramatist?

My article about Superman has been rejected. A reviewer complains that my "assertion that 'Reeve is still today the most handsome Superman (only Henry Cavill comes close)' expresses a subjective aesthetic preference without supporting evidence." I must laugh, really... #AcademicSky

Excellent interview also available in Youtube. Kate, I bought and am reading Down Girl. A book which will mark me and which I'll have to reread at least once, maybe twice, to fully assimilate what you have to say and what it means to me. Thank you.

Todo lo que está ocurriendo con el clima me hace recordar el cuento “El Gigante Egoísta “ un ser lleno de rabia y odio. No quería compartir su jardín con los niños que entraban a jugar, los expulsó y luego de eso, el invierno no se iba, se secaron los árboles y todo era tristeza.

The last time I got my hair cut the guy was playing music on a huge screen. He asked me who I wanted to hear and I said, Bob Dylan. The guy had never heard of him, but he searched on his phone and came up with Like a Rolling Stone. He understood no English, but he liked the music.

Nine people, including children, dead after mass shooting in Pennsylvania
Authorities say suspect among dead in house after standoff with police in Erie and there is no ongoing threat Nine people, including children, died in a mass murder on Friday in Erie, Pennsylvania, after a gun-wielding attacker opened fire outside a home and then entered the property, according to authorities. The suspected attacker was also found dead as police responded to the deadly violence, which triggered a standoff involving Erie police officers and tactical teams. Continue reading...

EXACTLY this. They KNOW what they’re doing. In fact, it is the point. They’re not “dehumanizing” their victim—they recognize her agency and choose to destroy it, and that is exactly what excites them.

Marxism taught me that the privileged do not give up their privileges out of good will. So too with frat boys and rape. To expect them not to violate women is like expecting the tech bros to share their billions with the poor. Women, as a political movement, will have to change social codes.

Le code pénal italien de 1930 adopté sous Mussolini prévoyait effectivement de pouvoir condamner toute personne présente sur le lieu de "saccages" même si elle n'y avait pas participé à titre personnel. C'est exactement une des dispositions de la loi Lecornu.

few others support her, offering to share a lawyer's fees, but most residents are apathetic, thinking only of their own financial gain or loss. She is very frightened, tried to install a camera in her door and they tell her it's illegal and they will fine her, but it's not illegal.

I haven't been recommending books daily as I'm too busy, but here's one I have just read. It've very enjoyable, though it was not really what I expected. The author chooses a key male name for his eight chapters, from Aristotle to Bob Dylan and has something to say for fatherhood along history.

Naci en 46 en EEUU. Mi padre trabajaba mucho, casi cero interes en sus hijos, autoritario y castigaba con violencia. Yo, como padre, no fui violento pero disciplinaba y castigaba a mis hijos. Era amigo de mi hijo más chico. Mis hijos, ya adultos,casi no imponen disciplina o castigos a sus hijos.

Why are men's hairstyles so boring? I've never imagined that my hairstyle could be entertaining. I get it cut every 3 or 4 months, just long enough to cover the bald spots. I've combed it that way for maybe 15 years. Before I had it shorter because I had more hair and fewer bald spots.

Traders buy and sell shares in a question of minutes or even of seconds. They're not investing in the future of AI, but betting that the price of the stock will soar in the next few minutes or hours so that they can sell it for a profit and then put the money in whatever's "hot" 15 minutes later.
