Farming content James Somerton style

Edited: I cleaned up sentences, removed typos and added some links

You've probably seen the latest hbomberguy video that highlights plagiarism problem on youtube. He gives several examples many I never heard about but I've been recommended iilluminaughtii before and watched some of her stuff before getting tired of seemingly endless volume (now I know why). But then he gets to the real subject of the video and I did watch a lot of James Somerton videos. And I liked many of them. I liked them a lot.

I didn't give him any money and, as much as it came as relief, I kept thinking how this must feel so much worse for people who did. I thought about supporting him for a moment when he posted (in April this year!) how his videos are getting less views because youtube algorithm and demonetisation of gay creators (it's a real thing so it was easy to believe) and he will be forced to stop creating if people don't sign up to his patreon. But I was casual viewer and he seemed big enough so I didn't. It must feel like such a betrayal to those who created a real community around him. Just like his film production company it's clear now it was another of his scams. It's infuriating how well it worked.

Somerton deleted his patreon now (along with his twitter and discord server) so there is probably no recourse for those affected. The only good thing is that someone big enough highlighted what he did (and brought receipts) so he had to stop. When smaller creators called him out it either went unnoticed or he managed to make himself a victim (and send his fans after them). He actually did what Anita Sarkeesian was accused of and gaslighted his followers about it. His misogyny just adds an extra bitter taste to this.

At the end hbomberguy talks about how if Somerton was open about what he was doing this could've been his niche. He said it just as I was thinking basically the same thing. I'm sure there is a market for field review type of videos. Not review like movie or book review but in academic sense when you take other people articles on the subject and compare to show the state of research on the subject on at the moment.

This kind of reviews doesn't need any original research. The value is in giving people overview of where the field is at and pointing them to the actual research so they can read more in depth about the results. If you already did the search for all the sources this is a perfect format to use them. Most people don't have time or resources to comb through all the resources themselves but they like to learn about it and this is why videos like that are popular. That's why iilluminaughtii, Somerton and al. were able to cash in on it.

But of course this kind of things have to properly cited. And they cannot be just all quotes. You have to make coherent points not just make stuff up for the transitions (lies that actually made Todd in the Shadows make a video not about music). I suppose that's too much work. Too much effort when you need to crank out content to satisfy all the sponsors.

I was glad to find out I already watch most of the queer creators recommended in the hbomberguy's video (and put on this watch list) as an alternative (I would add Caelan Conrad to it - funnily enough I found them through their video about antivax movement). I trained my youtube recommendations well in which way it skews but it's easier to kick out all the obviously awful when you know what talking points to avoid. It's much harder to spot grift when it pretends to care about the same things you care about. Somerton was saying all the right things. It just wasn't his words.

Did he even believe any of it? I bet he'll insist on yes but the laziness says otherwise. It seems like it was all just for the money and fans this angle gave him. That he enjoyed being cool to the audience he built and the stuff it bought him. Be gay do crime for real. Only he didn't write that one either.

Great question @iputmybloodintothis !

For the purposes of this post I'm assuming you mean urinary catheters. Other types of catheters, including IV/central line catheters, chest tubes, etc... can be covered on request.

The answer is that we have examples of urinary catheters going back to 3000 BCE. There were catheters found in Pompeii and ancient Egyptian archeological sites.

These were what we would today call "straight caths"- catheters that were inserted to drain the bladder and then immediately removed. This is because there are lots of problems that come up as we age that prevent urine from passing out of the bladder. Some of these include bladder paralysis, bladder stones, urethral strictures or inflammation (swelling or scarring shut of the tube that sends urine from bladder to toilet), or prostate enlargement.

It's also a pretty simple concept for olde timey medical folks- person can't pee, but they really have to pee, so we're gonna stick a tube up where the pee comes out to get the pee out. The ability to do this would have been life saving.

Despite being life saving, they were not comfortable. Ancient catheters were made of reeds, straw, or onion leaves. Hopefully this was an occasional problem for an individual, and not a multiple-times-per-day one.

Over the course of history, reed or straw-type disposable catheters gave way to metal re-usable ones. These came in silver, brass, copper, gold, and lead. They were not particularly malleable, but could be curved to fit the individual who was using them.

In 1752, Benjamin Franklin's brother needed a catheter due to urinary obstruction from bladder stones. The inventor created a silver coil catheter that would have been one of the first flexible catheters available. Below you can see the catheter he invented. The top tube is actually a tightly wound silver spring, which would be covered with gut to make it waterproof. The bottom tube is an insert that would be used to give rigidity while inserting or applying the gut. It is also thought that Franklin himself used this later in his life.

In the late 1800s, the first flexible rubber catheters were created. They unfortunately tended to break down when exposed to urine, leaving debris behind in the bladder. This got a little better once rubber vulcanization and latex rubber were invented.

It wasn't until 1935 that the modern Foley catheter was invented. The Foley catheter is named after it's inventor Fredric Eugene Basil Foley, who designed a catheter with a balloon on the part inside a patient's bladder. The balloon was filled with sterile water or saline, and was inflated to keep the catheter in place. Prior to this, if continuous drainage of a bladder was needed, an ordinary rubber straight catheter would be stitched or taped to the labia or head of the penis.

Today catheters are either made of latex or (more commonly where I am) silicone. People who are paralyzed or have chronic problems emptying their bladders may self-straight cath several times per day. People who need continuous bladder drainage (say, during or just after a surgery where they are unable to get out of bed temporarily, after bladder/prostate surgery, for precise intake/output measurements, when a patient has severe skin breakdown and is incontinent) usually have a foley catheter inserted. Today they look a lot like this:

As far as unconscious/confused people go, they pretty much just pee. Catheters carry a risk of infection, so unless there is a very specific reason for one, we often don't put one in unless the person couldn't pee without it, or them peeing the bed would be detrimental to them physically (severe wounds, need for perfect immobilization, surgeries, etc...).

24 (🥧) w blupjeans :O?? -ise

“I still can’t believe they’re shutting my lab down,” Barry mumbles as Lup comes in the door to his shabby apartment, easily the sixteenth time today. No matter how many times he hears it, it doesn’t feel real. It feels like some kind of sickening nightmare, like an anxiety spiral because he had a red bull after nine pm, like he’s slipped into the anti-reality and the Mario underworld theme music is playing. 

Maybe the Jaws theme, but not the famous part, the blood in the fucking water part, because he’s ruined and his career, so basically his life, is completely over, and how could he possibly come back from this? Who else will pay for him to continue his research? Where can he possibly go from here? 

“I know, Bear,” Lup says, the thunk of her shoes hitting the floor by the door, the soft pad of her feet coming over to him. He unsticks his head from the messy dining room table he almost never uses and feels something attached to his forehead–he tugs it off and feels his stomach drop below sea level when he realizes it’s a bill. And how is he going to pay it? He was barely making enough to get by. He moans and puts his head back down, and at least, soon enough, he feels her hand, rubbing his back, running through his messy hair. He can feel the tectonic plates moving beneath his feet and it only feels like a matter of time before they pull apart and dump him into the molten core of this slimy dick planet.

Maybe O, Fortuna. Something operatic and intense and gloomy. Something that makes his eardrums rattle with the fortissi-issi-issimo tragedy shaking the world as he knew it around his ankles. 

“I brought you a pie,” cuts through his imagined geological doom. He bites his lip. Part of him feels bad for being excited. Lup’s pies are second to none, and the fact that she spent all that time on him makes his heart sing something with a much more carbonated melody than the death and ruination and timpani rolling like a plague of thunder in his head. He can’t be grossly in love right now, he’s being sad. Shouldn’t he be ashamed of himself?

“What, um. What flavor?”

“Barbeque sauce, obviously.” She snorts, and gets exactly what she was after–he has to sit up to look at her, to watch her burst into giggles and wrinkle constellations into the starfield of freckles across her nose. He can’t help but smile a little, especially as she sticks her tongue out at him. “God, obviously peaches and cream, dingus. You think I’m not gonna take advantage of seasonal fruit? What am I, some kind of butt monkey with yarn for brains?”

“Never, ever in my life,” Barry says solemnly, fighting back that smile, “Would I, nor could I, accuse you of such a thing.”

“Good!” She tugs him by the tie into a kiss, and he feels like a pringles tube full of fireflies, even with his world ending. “Get some spoons, let’s be sad somewhere comfier.” 

Who is Barry to say no to his goddess? He pushes himself up, joints creaking, squinting blearily without his glasses. He untucks them from his pocket and puts them back on, and grabs two mismatched spoons, holding them up for her approval like a triumph of archeology. She smiles at him, and it feels good to not be alone for this. 

He could let his misery rot inside him and become something horrible, or he could eat a pie on the floor about it with the woman he loves, and feel her sweet head on his shoulder when they’ve had their fill. 

“Thanks for not letting me become a supervillain about this,” he mumbles, his breath still sweet. She laughs.

“Barry, you know if we become supervillains, we do it together. We pinky promised.”

Barry nods. “Besides,” she adds. “I have a plan.”

“Is it arson?” “I have two plans.”

Deceiver ontogeny (pretty fuckin' alien)

Deceivers have a really weird asymmetric life cycle different from that of other sophonts, and more closely resembling the min-maxed life cycles of some insects. They speedrun intelligence at the cost of pretty much everything. They're also solitary and VIOLENTLY territorial, so parental care, while intense, is indirect- more like a solitary bee or wasp building a nest and stocking it with food for the larva.

The nest doesn't actually have to be a tube, this was just my first concept. More likely, they'd build a bunker library.

Deceivers have a superprecocial, asymmetric, min-maxed ontogeny, particularly with regards to their minds. Deceivers hatch with highly developed hardware running software in a blank-slate state, and proceed to consume educational material stored in the incubation tube in a non-stop, caterpillar-like manner. Newly hatched Deceivers are less like newborn sophonts of other species, and more like a blank computer booted up for the first time. Personality development does not even BEGIN until AFTER hatching from the tube, and Deceivers themselves do not tend to think of tube-bound larvae as people, but rather, more like the potentiality of a person.

Deceivers are weird among sophonts, as although they are naturally solitary (and in a wild state would be so territorial as to kill and eat each other on sight when not mating), they have incredible language acquisition and usage abilities normally involved in their hunting strategy. Deceivers also use this ability in their only parental care behavior- the practice of constructing bunker nests of some kind to house larvae, with accompanying supplies of educational material to last for YEARS and sufficiently prepare the larva for life. Subadult and adult Deceivers posses a strong urge to compile and collect knowledge, as building a sufficient store with which to raise a larva requires YEARS of work, enough to assemble a library.

Literacy and language are so crucial for Deceivers that they literally cannot successfully reproduce without such means to transmit knowledge, and they will preserve some means of written communication even forced to survive in the harshest conditions. They do not invent their own writing or other language systems, however; Deceivers instead adopt those used by prey.

Deceiver nests are goldmines for archeology, as they tend to preserve massive repositories of information within. Intensely detailed records of culture, language, scientific knowledge- all stashed away in what is often an underground, fortified bunker library built to withstand the tests of time and even the largest burrowing monsters. Not only that, but a Deceiver nest almost always contains means to LEARN several languages, allowing for an incredible wealth of translation to become possible.

Extended image descriptions below the read more/cut!

Extended image descriptions:

[ID: Image 2:

Infographic showing Deceiver lifecycle from incubation to adulthood. A crude sketch shows a small tentacle monster (larval Deceiver) next to a pair of human feet/legs, showing how it is similar in size to a small cat. A note pointing to it from the main infrographic reads: 'All this, for larva.'

The main infographic is a timeline graph showing the phases of a Deceiver's life cycle, along with the rate of its growth in size and intelligence. Intelligence is shown to consistently increase rapidly before plateauing in early adulthood, while size grows very slowly before speeding up dramatically in the late teenage years. The incubation period lasts for about 3 years, after which the tube-bound 'baby' stage lasts for between 3 and 6 years. The juvenile stage that happens after the Deceiver hatches from the tube lasts for 10 years, and the subadult stage 6 years. In total, the whole ontogengy from egg to adult takes between 19 and 21 years.

Accompanying notes on each stage read: '(Incubation) Incubation is super long to basically skip early childhood for maximum efficiency.' '(Tube/baby) Intelligence starts out comparable to a human 8 yr old; every waking moment is spent learning to speedrun language and survival tactic acquisition. They don’t even waste time when sleeping. Hatchling Deceiver dreams are spent analyzing yesterday’s data. They are very mechanical at this stage, with no personality whatsoever- only Learning, like a beby neural net. If all available learning material has been learned before 6 years, the larva will enter a state of semi-hibernation non-stop eating and sleeping to grow as fast as possible, as the goal of this stage is learning, not growth, and is wasted if not spent learning. 3 years is the minimum that would occur if no learning material was provided, and the larva brain detects it is not receiving new information.' '(Juvenile) This is the true childhood stage, despite the fact that a Deceiver ‘child’ has the intelligence of an early human teen. They are smart enough to do a lot of clever things, but severely lacking in lived experience and wisdom. Despite the higher intelligence, this stage should be treated like a human child. Juvenile is the most dangerous stage of Deceivers life; it is when they are mastering survival and VERY vulnerable to being killed by prey. Juvenile Deceivers are very smart- but also very gullible and prone to making mistakes. Most Deceivers die as juveniles, much like with other wild animals…' '(Sudadult) This is the teen stage, and should be treated as such- again despite the higher intelligence. Deceivers speedrun smartness during early life, though by this point it plateaus with just a few fine tunings left, much like humans. Basic intelligence is really high (human adult-like), but decision making is still pretty dumb. The end of this is also the stage at which Deceiver puberty happens, which consists mostly of rapid growth, followed by gonad development (they start growing snail lovedarts and internal gonads- this part lags way behind because all their energy has been spent speedrunning intelligence and wisdom).'

Another, cruder version of this chart has different notes pertaining to the Deceiver character Veri's early life, with notes reading: '(tube-mid juvenile) Veri lives like a normal Deceiver.' '(mid juvenile-late subadult) Veri is abducted and tormented by an illegal beast-baiting/venatio ring. Veri escapes by killing their master and torching the arena. How long this lasts subject to change.' '(late subadult-early adulthood) Veri attempts to return to normalcy, but cannot due to their evaluation that causing harm is evil… and their need to eat souls conflicts with that.' '(early adulthood) Veri meets Leo (who initially assumed them a threat and tries to kill them), an adventurer who decides to help Veri upon learning Veri’s been trying to find a way to survive without causing net harm.'

An additional lifecycle chart shows the ontogeny of a human, with the many phases labeled: (infant) 0-2.5 yrs - baby; 2.5-5 yrs - toddler; (kid) 5-10 yrs - kid; 10-13 yrs - older kid; (subadult) 13-15 yrs - pre-teen; 15-18 yrs - teen; 18 yrs - legal adult; (adult) 18-20+ yrs - adult. Accompanying notes read: 'The human has a pretty steady growth rate in both size and intelligence. Deceivers do not have this; their ontogeny is asymmetric and min/maxed, growing slowly through early life, but increasing in intelligence rapidly from the get-go, before plateauing and FINALLY starting to grow quickly. They stay small for a long time, are freakishly smart compared to a human of that age, then suddenly growth spurt like a caterpillar once they reach critical smartness mass. The whole ontogenic setup is geared to become smart enough to kill a sophont as fast as possible, with as little risk of making a dumb kid mistake As Possible.' END ID]

Unconditional love(Well ain't that a strange concept)

Timothy 'tim' jackson drake grew up having all that a child could ever want. Food, shelter, clothes and money were never a problem. Yet his little heart always ached for something he thought he could never have - love. His parents would always bring him back little souvenirs and knicknacks from their various archeological digs. But socialites Jack and Janet could never be bothered to spare even a moment of their time to spend with him. 

______________________________________________________________

Tim's pov: 

Throwing my bag down, I slumped onto the couch. My parents would be horrified to see the house in such a mess, but they're off somewhere in Egypt. I can't be bothered to keep up with their weekly exploits. But whenever they planned on returning, their prized son Timothy would be there to greet them with an award winning smile and a spotless house.  Afterall, the one thing I know how to do best is to pretend. That's all I ever am nowadays. A placeholder, replacement and above all - a pretender. 

Glancing at my phone screen, I chuckle slightly at the purple monkey steph had changed it to last weekend. My scowl was back as soon as I remembered my upcoming birthday. Nobody would have bothered to remember it. But my face broke into a small grin as soon as I remembered the day. It was a friday night - which meant I had to head to titans tower soon. Although I couldn't share my identity with them yet, I knew kon, bart and cassie always had my back. I got up and slipped into the bathroom for a quick shower. After a heavenly 15 minutes under the spray of cold water, I dried off and changed into fresh clothes. Securing a domino mask over my face, I headed to the batcave. Without a second glance, I rushed to the zeta tubes. 

"Well, you're in quite a hurry, master Tim. I suppose you don't have the time to spare for greetings?" I turned to the source of the voice and spotted Alfred with a single poised eyebrow raised. 

Sporting a sheepish grin, I hastened to explain "Sorry Alfred. It's just been a long week. I'm looking forward to seeing my friends again."

"No harm done my lad. It's good to see you spending time with other heroes your age. Heavens forbid you become as reclusive as a certain someone. Do have fun but make sure to not be too long." Alfred replied with a light uptick of his lips. 

Giving him a light salute, I zetaed to mount justice. Following the sounds of laughter, I popped my head into the group living room. Everyone was huddled onto the beat up loveseat in front of the tv. Kon looked over Cassie's shoulder and gestured for me to sit by them. 

I squeezed into the pile, all of my previous troubles disappearing as soon as kon and bart dragged me into one of their disputes. A movie was on in the background, but nobody gave it much importance. In the span of a few hours, I had smiled more than I had in the previous week. 

Just before I was getting ready to leave, Kon grabbed my hand. "Hey rob, I know you just come in on fridays. But we were planning to do some team bonding on sunday. Mind dropping in?"

A bit startled at the sudden contact. My eyes dropped down to his hand but quickly flickered back. "Sure, it's not like I have anything better to do."

He frowned a bit at that, what for I'm not sure. "Great, see you sunday! Bye rob. "

Saying my goodbyes, I made my way to the zeta tubes. In the batcave, I waved to Alfred and went home to be reunited with my bed."

The next day was uneventful. I microwaved a bowl of cereal in my pajamas and scrolled through my phone. After heating up lunch that Mrs. Mac dropped off, I set to work on my casefiles. Making my way through them, I glanced at the clock only to be startled. It was already time for patrol. After a quick shower, I ate the leftovers from lunch and sprinted nextdoors. Once in the batcave, I geared up quickly and accompanied Bruce on his patrol. It was a relatively mild night with only a few petty crimes. 

Deciding that there was not much action tonight, B dismissed me. Remembering kon's invite I went without much of a protest. 

By 10 the next day, I was fresh and ready to head to mount justice. I shoved the reminder of my birthday farther back in my head. On my way, Alfred questioned me why I was going on a sunday. I just answered him with team bonding. Surprisingly, the base was quiet when I arrived. Curious, I made my way to the living room where everyone mostly gathered. Oddly, there was no one there. I decided to check out the kitchen, thinking the group was rummaging around for something to eat. But as soon as I stepped foot in the kitchen, I was rendered speechless. Surrounding me were hundreds of balloons in robin colours(once I was conscious enough, I realised Bart must have gone overboard with the decorating). Streamers decorated the normally plain room and an enormous cake in the shape of a bird was perched centerplace on the counter. Kon, bart and cassie jumped out from their various hiding places to yell surprise. 

Their voices fell short however when they caught sight of my speechless expression. The normally exuberant speedster tentatively asked "Hey rob, are you okay? You're looking a little pale". 

Realising I probably looked like an idiot, I shut my mouth. "You guys actually remembered"

Cassie, ever the leader, quickly understood the problem. "Of course we remembered idiot. You're our rob. There's no way we'd forget something as important as this. "

My brain didn't process the words coming out of my mouth. "But my birthday isn't important. And you guys threw a party and everything. Doesn't that only happen in the movies?"

Heartbroken, Kon asked "Tim, have you never had a birthday party before. Even though I'm a clone and don't know proper earth behavior, Ma always makes pie and decorates the farm on my birthday… "

Shaking myself out of my stupor "No, I've never had anyone to celebrate it with. When I was young, I asked my mom about parties and she curtly told me that only happens on tv". 

Having had enough, Cassie interrupted "Come here you big idiot. We love you and we want you to know that this is nothing compared to what you deserve. Your parents are complete jerks. Now give us a hug and open your presents. "

I knew in my heart that this was truly the best day ever. Long after we were all full and tired from laughing, an idea struck my head. "

You guys definitely gave me a big surprise, so the least I can do is return it. My hands went to my domino to work through the unlocking mechanism. My teammates were too shocked to reply. I made quick work of my mask and removed it. Tim, my name's tim. 

"Ro-tim, you didn't have to tell us. This was just to show our unconditional love for you"

That statement alone brought tears to his eyes, but he managed to reply without his voice wavering"I know, but I want to. I've been wanting to do this for a long time but Batman wouldn't cooperate. At this point, I don't really care. I trust you guys and I wanted to show that. "

The discussion soon turned into a group hug which just ended up as a messy pile. Even though Kon and Cassie were crushing me and Bart's elbow was poking my ribs, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I spotted Kon from the corner of my eye. His little grin told me that this was all his idea, but I saved the revelation for another day. Right now I was simply content in this moment.

Ancient African smelting technique sparks anew at MIT

Building and working a clay-and-grass furnace, teachers and students learn more than how to turn ore into metal.  

The plumes of smoke that rose from East Campus one sunny May day could easily have been mistaken for a barbecue taking place in the courtyard. And indeed, burgers were on the grill. But the smoke was coming from a much rarer sight on MIT’s campus — or, in fact, anywhere outside West Africa: a mud-and-straw furnace for smelting iron.

For two months, students in class 3.094 (Materials in Human Experience) had been building the furnace, or bloomery, in the traditional style of the Mossi people of Burkina Faso. The furnace was a five-foot-high cylinder. From the top end came dancing orange flames and billowing gray smoke; from an opening on the lower third of the cylinder extended two tubes, each into a large pot topped with goatskin and pumped by students and volunteers in T-shirts and polo shirts.

“The idea of this class in general is to teach people about materials through archeological materials,” says Mike Tarkanian, senior lecturer in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The first half of the class, taught by associate professor of civil and environmental engineering Admir Masic, focused on Roman concrete, the material used to construct ancient landmarks such as the Pantheon in Rome.

LESBIAN PULP ROMANCE

"To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is a bad dream… How did I know that someday—at college, in Europe, somewhere, anywhere—the bell jar, with its stifling distortions, wouldn’t descend again?"

— Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar 

Stuffed animals, piles of half clean clothes and various tubes of makeup. Your messy bed is like an archeological site full of half unearthed little vestiges of your anxiety about getting ready for tonight.

It all takes up any space you and Holly aren’t occupying. When she sat down and said she'd your makeup, the little smile on her face said she knew exactly what would happen, though it isn't supposed to, and you played along. Let her gently hold your chin up with her thumb and her index finger while she traced your cheeks with a soft brush. Let her put her face close to yours, sleepy eyes fixed on your mouth, making you feel like the tide before the shore.

She has the kind of soft, squishable body you love and now she's wrapping you up in it while you shove some of the debris away. Softness; Holly, the mattress, her hair, the way she touches you.

You couldn't really believe she even wanted to be kissing you; she was so sunny, so well liked. 

She has:

hazel eyes

a husky voice

a boyfriend named Bryan 

an orthodox jewish family, including:

a mountainous father who once chased you out of her bedroom one afternoon after school, and

a mother who came to your house to scream at your mother for raising the girl who had corrupted her daughter 

a perfect beaming smile

thick, curly brown hair, and; 

a Nokia with the ringtone set to Party Rock Anthem because it’s 2012 (this is allegedly ironic)

Now it rings uncomfortably loudly on the bedside table for a few moments before she props herself up underneath you on an elbow to answer it.

“Yup,” the texture of her voice is smooth and rough at the same time, like asphalt.

“Okay.” Then quieter, to you; “They’re downstairs”.

So you both stand up, straightening your outfits, quickly scooping up keys and phones. You sit on the bed fastening the buckle on your mary janes and watch her check her lipstick in the bathroom mirror. They wouldn’t even notice, you think. It's like queerness doesn't even occur to straight girls. 

“You’ll love Bianca,” she’s saying while she drags one finger slowly under the edge of her bottom lip. “She's exactly like you, I swear to God. She even watches Buffy. You're twins.”

You’re quiet while she talks. You’re mostly quiet lately, quiet and empty like the eye of a hurricane. You notice most people don’t mind at all, which is a relief. You assume they think you're just introverted, silently contemplating everything they say, perhaps too shy to share your own thoughts. 

But the reality is that your thoughts simply turn into honey and leak right out of your ears before they can crystallise into anything, and you're glad that they do. So you let people talk. 

Holly seems perfectly content with this arrangement, and as you both swing out the door and down the concrete stairs you’re hoping her friends waiting in the parking lot will be too. 

Downstairs two girls are leaning against the side of a hatchback drinking candy coloured vodka premixes, and once hello’s are said you’re both being handed your own bottles as well. Summer Peach. Holly introduces you.

“Are you on your full license?” There are no plates on the windshield of the car.

“I am tonight.” Bianca winks.

“So you have an ID, right?” It’s the first thing Eden says to you, and you realise this is likely the reason you’re here at all. 

“Yep.” the word crawls out your mouth, you don't know what else to say.

“It’s completely legit,” Holly brags on your behalf. “They asked us to enter our own dates of birth for the cards at school. Can you believe that? I was too chicken to fake mine, but Ayla did it - they never even checked. Issued by the Australian government, baby.” 

“Can I see it?” You hand her the card. Eden has a lattice of cuts over her arms you try not to stare at. 

“It won't get us all in.” You say. 

“Oh, they won’t card us at the door.” she says, waving a hand dismissively. “It’s just for the bar.”

“They don’t card at the door?” 

“Not groups like us.” Bianca grins and shrugs one shoulder.

Like us. That doesn't seem right.

"Death to israel" is bullshit in a way "death to america" is not. Ok theyre both colonial enterprises but theres no magical archeological entity UNDERNEATH all the first nations called "america" that was lived in by the ancestors of some white diaspora that then reclaimed the territory. You cant just "colonizers are colonizers" this shit

Regardless, those squishmallows are blood pillows, that money funds a lethal militia

EVERYONE has BEEN agreeing ON RECORD that a two state solution is ideal and possible, for DECADES. Thats fucking uncontroversial actually.

Now, IM saying, for that to work at all, neither state can be discontiguous!!!

And i made a 2D model of it even, i mapped it out! Someone with more ethnographic block-by-block clarity might have done better to plot the corridors of it but, there it is. I mean fuck, install a tube between palestine A and plaestine B, done deal!!! The apartheid state HAS TO END, this is SO OBSCENE

No one is saying the nakba was cool! Or, if they are, kill them

Does every living israeli even know about the nakba? No!

Atheist & Christian Book Club with Dr. Bart Ehrman October 2021

COMMENTARY:

As I say, Bart Ehrman is a purveyor of the dialectical Marxism of the critical historic method of Post Modern Historic Deconstruction of the anti-war counter culture's contrarianism summed up in the generational motto "Question Authority".  It has made him rich and famous.

The thing is, in the larger anthropology of literature, history never rises above the broken pottery of archeology. It can't. It is forensic in nature and, by definition. its subject is dead. The art of history is to venture beyond the bounds of forensics and fill in the vitalism of the milieu and elan vitale of the particular personalities of the milieus with the fuller anthropology of the LOGOS of any narrative. Scout is more than her Cristian name of Jean Louise and that's the LOGOS that does not exist in the broken pottery of Ehrman's Dialectical Marxism.

Ehrman stipulates to this in principle, but, when it comes to defending his particular interpretation of text. he reverts, defensively, to the forensic boundaries  of the broke pottery of textual analysis.

For example, at timestamp 34:00, jovial, open=minded Bart gets his panties all in a know when challenged about the actual effect of textual variance and reverts to the classroom authoritarianism of his personality by demanding that, in the de-harmonized version of the Gospels he prefers, an issue of  Atonement and a difference between Paul's understanding and Luke's. This particular issue is important to Ehrman because his entire business model is based on making issues like this fundamental to the veracity of the entire Gospel harmonic. It's like they say about lawyers: if you have merit on your side, argue merit, If you don't have merit, argue the law. And if you have neither merit nor the law on your side, kick up some dust.

His is an example of Ehrman kicking up dust.

I am a process theology guru, like the guy who coinded the Army recruiting slogan, Be All You Can Be. From my perspective, there are at least 5 narrative threads that converge at the cross within the context of Enoch's 7000 year Epoch, which is a very handy template and totally Hegelian in aspect. In terms of atonement.

Jesus is atonement for God's vanity in the Book of Job and God's faithfulness to Free Will as the essential grounding of the doctrine of human dominion in the Newtonian universe. Jesus is the anti=Apocalyptic Messiah who was sent to redeem Jerusalem from the theological dead end of Jewish Eschatology.  Paul's doctrine of atonement is based on the redemption by Jesus of Eve's Total Depravity which is Moses' justification  the corruption of the 7th Commandment, while Luke's doctrine of atonement is the triangulation of Melchizedek with Jesus and Romans 13:1 - 7 that informs the author of the Letter to  the Hebrews )who I contend is Theophilus).

For the Romans, everything that happened between the 1st Covenant between God and Abram in Genesis 15 was set into motion by Melchizedek and created the cultural tube the produced Jesus as the sinless Jewish person, but that Resurrection acted like an Etch-a=Sketch in regards to the Total Depravity bullshit of Moses and replaced it with the New Covenant described in the Gospel of Peter. Jesus is the promise of The One that  the 5th Amendment and the Love Thy Neighbor clause of the Greatest Commandment are the eteranal and divine sanctuary in the Metaphysically necessary atheism of the Liberation Gosple of Jesus, George Washington and Pope Francis.

The great value of Ehrman''s apostasy is that it utterly destroys the basis of Calvinism, generally, and the TUPIP doctrine, in particular, but its unforgivable sinfulness is that it denies the Holy Spirit as the basis of the Liberation Gospel of the atonement doctrine of God and the Gook of Job.

I went to Vietnam on the basis of the Liberation Gospel, so Bart Ehrman can just go fuck himself with the Fascist sophistry of his dialectical Marxism.
