@vanguard_pod LOL: Briahna Joy Gray BREAKS the brain of Rising guest Bethany Mandel by asking her to define “wokeness” ~ “Fish and visitors stink in three days” comes from 16th century writer John Lyly. In his most famous work, Euphues – the Anatomy of Wit, he writes, “Fish and guests in three days are stale.” Euphues (from Greek, meaning “graceful and witty”) was such a success when it was published in 1579, that today’s English word “euphemism” is derived from the title Euphues (from Greek, meaning “graceful and witty”) was such a success when it was published in 1579, that today’s English word “euphemism” is derived from the title ~ @pixfiber Replying to @HorrorGorl “El arrimado y el muerto al tercer día apestan”- Spanish folk wisdom (The overstayed houseguest and the cadaver both stink by the third day) ~ @chamblee54Ben Franklin was known to recycle. Fish and visitors stink in three days – As one might imagine, Ben Franklin didn’t conceive all of these witty epigrams himself. Sometimes he took old ones and adapted them to the times and his voice. “Fish and visitors stink in three days” actually originally comes from the 16th century writer John Lyly. In his most famous work, Euphues – the Anatomy of Wit, he writes, “Fish and guests in three days are stale.” Euphues (from Greek, meaning “graceful and witty”) was such a success when it was published in 1579, that today’s English word “euphemism” is derived from the title of the book Two hundred years later, Franklin would adopt a version of this saying as his own. ~ π Day ~ @MariahforAthens bars @linquafranqa • phd, literacy ed • union thug @raiseupthesouth • fmr athens-clarke county commissioner, sworn in on the autobio of malcolm x ~ cop city will never be built @MariahforAthens my friend got pulled over for expired tag on friday. cop told her they could arrest her and put her children up for adoption if they wanted to. her kids, my godchildren, were in the backseat and began to cry. cops lie to instill terror even in children…. ~ Equality vs. Equity ~ @ChrchCurmudgeon Is there a baroque playlist out there called Pandora’s Bachs? @LegalistsLawyer Not sure but I recently visited a museum to see Moe’s Art. ~ @vanguard_pod LOL: Briahna Joy Gray BREAKS the brain of Rising guest Bethany Mandel by asking her to define “wokeness” ~ @wokal_distance 1/YOU CAN’T DEFINE WOKE! Those who say we can’t define woke or that it’s just a slur or substitute for the N-word are playing word games in order to undercut your ability to highlight and criticize their ideas. Let’s talk about how it works. So, defining “woke” A Thread🧵 ~ @QuoteResearch “I have spent my whole time over the proof sheets of my book of poems.” The Philistine with a growl inquired the result of that. “Well, it was very important,” said Oscar. “I took out a comma.” “Indeed,” returned the enemy of literature, “is that all you did?” Oscar, with a sweet smile, said, “By no means; on mature reflection I put back the comma.” Oscar Wilde anecdote, May 8, 1884, The Daily Graphic of New York ~ Efforts to suppress #Hunterbidenlaptop story backfired. I saw @newyorkpost being hassled & googled the story. If the censorship industrial complex had let the story come out, it would have been lost in the pre-election confusion #StreisandEffect ~ @chamblee54 The #viral video only tells part of the story. #bethanymandel was talking about young people and victimhood culture. @briebriejoy changed the subject to talk about “hierarchies of oppression” Here is the rest of the story. ~ @mtaibbi 1.TWITTER FILES #19 The Great Covid-19 Lie Machine Stanford, the Virality Project, and the Censorship of “True Stories” ~ bjg vs bsm bjg – that I’ve discussed with people in my life who are Educators and mental health professionals I would definitely never deny the reality that there’s a certain kind of cultural cachet that’s emerged of kind of um hierarchies of Oppression let’s say but I’ve also seen a lot of people across the political Spectrum Express frustration with that so I wonder if you could get into how you see this as a war of the left against the right because framing it that way when I think this is a broad concern that a lot of folks are have a problem with does kind of also recreate this kind of victim Paradigm where you have people saying we’re being under attack by the left instead of kind of coming together and trying to resolve what I think is a broadly understood phenomenon – bsm – and so in this circumstance there’s a lot of things that are sort of a right left right versus left conversation but this is not one of them and I agree with you I think that there are a lot of people for whom this argument resonates and it’s not just right left issue we hope that you know parents of all political Stripes will pick up the book this is sort of awoke reimagining that is very very very far left only seven percent of Americans consider themselves very liberal and probably fewer of them consider themselves to be woke and so you know when when bjg – would you mind the finding will because it’s come up a couple times but I just want to make sure we’re on the same page bsm – so I mean woke is sort of the idea that um I this is going to be one of those moments that goes viral I mean woke is something that’s very hard to Define and we’ve spent an entire chapter defining it it is sort of the understanding that we need to re totally reimagine and re reduce Society in order to create hierarchies of Oppression um sorry I it’s hard to explain in a 15 second sound bite yeah ~ This is a repost from 2020. Anthony Stephen Fauci ~ “An Open Letter to Dr. Anthony Fauci” San Francisco Examiner, June 26, 1988 “Anthony Fauci, you are a murderer and should not be the guest of honor at any event that reflects on the past decade of the AIDS crisis. Your refusal to hear the screams of AIDS activists early in the crisis resulted in the deaths of thousands of Queers. … You can’t hide the fact that you are nothing but a despicable Reagan-era holdover and drug company mouthpiece. With 270,000 dead from AIDS and millions more infected with HIV, you should not be honored at a dinner. You should be put before a firing squad. … You are a pill-pushing pimp that cooperates with drug companies in forcing dangerous concoctions down the throats of a desperate community that is brainwashed into believing that taking a pill, any pill, will help them. … Ten years of hope? Fuck that. Try a decade of death and greed. Go back to Washington you bastard.” ~ pictures on this attempted spring monday morning are from The Library of Congress ~ selah
