I was really talking about the series of deleted tweets rather than Guliani, who has no excuse even if he'd learnt English solely from drop down menus in Adobe software.

There are reports that Trump got him to agree to figure out his rate later. So Rudy ain't getting poo poo and Trump is getting what he paid for.

Even in American public education in the deep south we learned about light and the difference between opacity/translucence/transparence.

I think people learn the term "opaque" but don't realize that "opacity" is related to that word. I mean, it seems obvious now but you are learning these two things in very different contexts.

I learned in school that Isaac Newton never married, lived alone and was likely celibate. Except he didn't live alone, he had multiple longterm "roommates," at least one of whom wrote him love letters before they moved in together

we actually have no viable evidence either way, and its modern homophobia that also leads to modern standards of male non homosexual intimacy being the literal worst in recorded history. like, dudes would do all sorts of poo poo that reads to us as gay cuz of modern homophobes, up to and including love letters, and then not gently caress. so it goes both ways

Determining whether a romantic relationship was also an erotic relationship is tricky because of lack of evidence (stained sheets or you must acquit!), deciding which narrators to trust, and what the societal context was. Like, we know Pepys was definitely sexing up serving girls because he wrote about it, in code, in his diary. That kind of direct evidence was and is rare. The problem is that we've swapped from a universal "they were just friends" to a universal "they were in love therefore they were totally loving".

That's a branding problem, clearly, make the masks extra uncomfortable to wear and say you're hardcore if you wear it and you'd have people wearing shirts with the grim reaper on the back shooting a gun and giving a middle finger with the words YEAH I WEAR MASKS, DRIVE A TRUCK, WAS BORN IN NOVEMBER AND I'M PROUD within a week.

I love this kind of joke, but I also love that every time someone tweets one, there's a crowd of people in the replies who don't get/willfully ignore the joke and say what you 'should actually do' instead. In this case, ranging from 'she shouldn't be in that position anyway' to 'you should instead be there to punch the guy out'. I assume it's the exact same crowd that replies to 'are the straights okay/do straight people even like each other' posts with 'uhm, yeah, that's called a NORMAL relationship'

That said, if your standard is that sir Isaac newton was definitely never ever having sex with men because his love letters didn't explicitly outline exactly how much semen he was jetting into somebody's mouth, you've set a pretty high evidentiary standard that's never mandated between, like, kings and mistresses they were definitely loving but didn't, like, write about. They're just a point of plausibility that we kind of assume in the historical record at a certain point. Ultimately, unless we were there, we really have absolutely no idea what happened in the past, it's just a range of how good we think the evidence is for something. If you make the evidentiary standard completely different for heterosexual relationships than homosexual relationships, then that is its own form of insidious bigotry.

Sure, but I think the broader point is that the modern understanding of same sex (and, honestly, not same sex) friendships and relationships is a terrible lens through which we can try to view history for a number of reasons.

If you make the evidentiary standard completely different for heterosexual relationships than homosexual relationships, then that is its own form of insidious bigotry. My standard is that "in many eras, we often can't be certain any homoromantic/homosocial person did in bed, because they had excellent legal and social reasons for denying any physical element." With a bonus of "'homosexual' is specifically a 19th-century and onward concept." (I recommend Hanne Blank's "Straight: The History of a Concept", which is great fun and also learned.)

Having seen Geostorm I think I can safely give Justice League in its current form a negative 2 star rating. I’ll preemptively give the Snyder cut negative 3 stars.
