@acvandervoort @ProfRobAnderson It encourages litigation (however frivolous) by rich people and organizations for whom the attorney's fees are negligible and discourages it (however justified) by normal people for whom the costs are frequently prohibitive

@zanyfen @EmoFoucault what if you took the specific opposite things they say and try to revise your definitions of the concepts involved such that they can both be true? could that help

@PAHoyeck @GurReptsSohn Schrader shifted to directing his own films, but Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and Last Temptation (as well as Bringing Out the Dead) are all screenplays he wrote for Scorsese

@PelmenniyMonstr @CaseyLeggett "Bloom's Jewishness informed his work when relevant" is a much weaker claim than the one you actually made, and his oedipal theory of influences is very much not a theory of universal anti-paternalism (for one thing he usually considers literary fathers greater than their sons)

@PAHoyeck @GurReptsSohn Not to diminish Scorsese at all but it's maybe worth drawing attention to the fact that his raw, "auteurist" masterpieces are also his closest collaborations with Paul Schrader, who commands more arthouse cred

@PelmenniyMonstr @CaseyLeggett I think it's more likely that you're projecting personal resentment of Bloom the schoolmaster. Maybe he talks about the God of the Hebrew Bible, this way, but certainly not the Canon.

@PelmenniyMonstr @CaseyLeggett No, this is explicitly not what gnosticism means for him; the emphasis is on a personal knowledge of an internal sublimity older than creation, which is how he can read even writers with very positive visions as gnostics

@PelmenniyMonstr @CaseyLeggett Yeah but he could fit anyone into that mold if he happened to like their stuff

@ettingermentum @jacobgrizzfan Think the whole thing just runs off of box score so inefficient stars on mediocre teams are more valuable than efficient stars on great teams

@intentionalisms but yeah most historical accent reconstruction stuff focused on Shakespeare has his characters sounding less General American than West Country or even Irish (though of course not at all RP)

@intentionalisms Nah not really; there are specific features of most NA English accents present in Early Modern English but not most modern British accents, but this isn't the same as NA English being more archaic broadly/closer to Shakespeare than, say, the West Country accent
