  1. RE: mastodonapp.uk/@GetCarter/1169

    So many good lines in these lyrics. Knew Count Binface had “affordable housing - one house” as part of his policy manifesto, but now it appears he has upped the ante to “affordable housing - maybe three”. What’s not to love?

  3. 1 “Men fear #thought as they fear nothing else on earth – more than ruin, more even than death. Thought is #subversive and #revolutionary, destructive and terrible; thought is merciless to #privilege, established #institutions, and comfortable #habits; …” 🧵

  4. "AIPAC, the hard-line pro-Israel lobbying organization that once commanded bipartisan fealty, has increasingly become a boogeyman in Democratic circles, with scores of candidates distancing themselves from the group":

  6. An Aeon essay through one of my favourite subjects: subversive literature, and whether it is actually subversive, by Charlie Ericson.

    aeon.co/essays/feel-the-burn-h

    He discusses #Dante and #Milton, and a contemporary poet, Shane McCrae, and makes a distinction between subversion and #revolution.

    It go me thinking about how literature's role in renewing #perception might transcend both of these.

  8. I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result.

  10. 2/2 Article focuses on T’s
    #defamiliarization of common justifications of #violence (with examples), encouraging readers to admit their implicit #complicity & noticing process which numbed them into accepting such complicity.

    Then reflects on 4 specific
    #subversive characteristics of defam: #disruption of automated perception, implicit #concession of problem, corrosion of respect for traditional
    #hierarchies, & encouragement of
    #empathy

  13. A quotation from Henry Commager

       What happens when a state tries to purge its state universities or a community tries to purge its public schools of alleged subversives? […] What happens is the demoralization and eventual corruption of the school system.
       This is not a momentary or even temporary affair; it is something the consequences of which may be felt for years. The search for subversives results in the intimidation of the independent, the original, the imaginative, and the experimental-minded. It discourages independence of thought in teachers and students alike. It discourages the reading of books that may excite the suspicion of some investigator or some Legionnaire. It discourages the discussion of controversial matters in the classroom, for such discussion may be reported, or misreported, and cause trouble. It creates a situation where first-rate minds will not go into teaching or into administration and where students therefore get poor teaching.
       In the long run it will create a generation incapable of appreciating the difference between independence of thought and subservience. In the long run it will create a generation not only deprived of liberty but incapable of enjoying liberty.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1953-02-21), “Is Freedom Really Necessary?” Saturday Review

  14. Per #Perplexity:

    The #SermonOnTheMount is not typically described as "#woke af" in its original theological context, but it has been perceived by some modern audiences as radical or #subversive regarding morality and social #justice.

    The sermon, delivered by #Jesus, contains teachings on #humility, #mercy, #peacemaking, love of enemies, and #authentic righteousness—#values that some might associate loosely with modern "woke" social consciousness.

  24. If you've never seen it, find it wherever you have to. It's funny for sure, but in light of recent political events a bit terrifying too. Mike Judge takes his place along with Orwell, Atwell, Wells, Huxley, etc. etc. as a visionary of the future, and even our past now.

  26. @jerry @rk kennedy as head of the FDA is both creepy and scary - it is a war against intellectuals and the working class at the same time - it won't get that far, he has like a 9 mos window, if he somehow avoids the second great depression and ww3 i will be happy #overt #subversive #ice princess

  28. Just ordered tickets for this subversive discussion of the Sherlock Holmes story ‘A Study In Scarlet’ for Saturday. It’s one of the reliably fascinating events and it’s donation funded. Sounds right up my dark and foggy cobbled street.
