And it will be part of the film group, which suggests a similar structure to its niche at Warner Bros Discovery after Scorsese, Spielberg and PTA saved it from Zaslav's cost-cutting. In the short term, all is well.

Silentio @silentio.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This is, essentially, a more sophisticated version of the Jesus myth theory, in that it accepts the historicity of a person named Jesus but denies the possibility of attributing anything to him. 100
Silentio @silentio.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Can you explain to me how we know with such certainty that Mark 10 and Matthew 5 are not reflective of Jesus's original, unaltered teachings? How do you actually apply this to the Gospel texts without falling into arbitrary skepticism? 110
Silentio @silentio.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The Gospels are by far the most sex-negative part of the Christian Bible. 110
Silentio @silentio.bsky.social · 07/10/2026This is the popular interpretation, but I think it's backwards. Uncompromising chastity comes from the teachings of Jesus himself, Paul was just trying to reframe it in a way that was workable for everyday life. 110

Silentio @silentio.bsky.social · 25/09/2026And by the numbers most players will agree with you! I was unhappy with the way OSRS evolved, but now that there are other options for players like me, I don’t need to worry about it any more and people can just play the version they like. 110
Silentio @silentio.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It’s a Ship of Theseus. Yes, very little content has been outright removed, but so much has been changed or added over time that it’s become radically different from the ‘07 revision it was based on. 120
Silentio @silentio.bsky.social · 25/09/2026OSRS at this point is a completely different thing from RS2. If you enjoy it, more power to you, but it doesn’t hold any appeal to me anymore. 110

Silentio @silentio.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I do think the episode at Cowslip’s warren does show a bit of Adams’s conservatism: the culture there is depicted as decadent and a little effeminate; Cowslip’s modern, lyrical poetry is contrasted unfavorably with the folk-heroic tales of the Sandleford rabbits. 130
Silentio @silentio.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Each is very impressive in its own way. Cowslip’s warren is artistically “advanced” in a way other rabbits can’t even comprehend, and Efrafa is a masterwork of sophisticated social organization. But both are not worth the bargain. 120
Silentio @silentio.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Cowslip’s warren and Efrafa are mirror images of one another. The one is based on a fatalistic acceptance of death and the other on an obsessive fear of death. 120
