#critic — Public Fediverse posts

@penwing I don't think it's any accident that the presenter of the so-called "documentary" was a #DailyMail columnist. I find it very disappointing indeed that the @guardian's TV #critic rated the wretched thing so highly - but I suppose that's par-for-the-course.

#RIP #music #critic #DaveMarsh, who earned my eternal gratitude when he wrote a very good #book about the #song #LouieLouie.

A quotation from Neal Stephenson

As a fantasy writer, he was not highly regarded (“one cannot call him profoundly mediocre without venturing so far out on the critical limb as to bend it to the ground,” “so derivative that the reader loses track of who he’s ripping off,” “to say he is tin-eared would render a disservice to a blameless citizen of the periodic table of the elements”).

Neal Stephenson (b. 1959) American novelist
Reamde, Part 1 “Nine Dragons – Thanksgiving,” prologue (2011)

This takedown of @nytimes.com music critics is FANTASTIC. To be clear, you can still critique music without having all the music training but the Times folks are gross.

A Thoughtful TDG Critic

I like it when Medium readers point out things wrong with the TDG. It gives me an opportunity to interact with them:

This does not happen often.

A quotation from Richard Steele

It’s a particular Observation I have always made, That of all Mortals, a Critick is the silliest; for by inuring himself to examine all Things, whether they are of Consequence or not, he never looks upon any Thing but with a Design of passing Sentence upon it; by which Means, he is never a Companion, but always a Censor. This makes him earnest upon Trifles; and dispute on the most indifferent Occasions with vehemence.

Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician
Essay (1709-07-14), The Tatler, No. 29

Criticizing an Alternative Democracy

A Thoughtful TDG Critic

I joined Medium in 2019. I used to get some interest in my alternative democracy. Then Joe Biden won the 2020 election. USA was saved: there was no need to investigate an alternative democracy.

In 2023, a Medium writer offered some commentary on the TDG. The first interest in three years:

Last fall, I got four such commentaries. Check out the FAQ section on my website.

A quotation from Samuel Johnson

He that applauds him who does not deserve praise, is endeavoring to deceive the public; he that hisses in malice or sport, is an oppressor and a robber.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
Essay (1758-10-07), The Idler, No. 25

Iran War Puts Tulsi Gabbard, Regime Change Critic, In An Awkward Spot

https://misryoum.com/us/trending/iran-war-puts-tulsi-gabbard-regime-change-critic/

The former Hawaiʻi congresswoman was an outspoken critic of U.S.-led regime change wars. Then she went to work for Trump. Perhaps no other person in President Donald Trump’s cabinet has been more outspoken against war with Iran than his...

The TDG Naysayers

It's impossible to build a new democracy, is it not?

Just like it was impossible in 1776.

Criticizing an Alternative Democracy

The TDG is easily ignored because most people believe the current democracy is repairable:
