![]() ![]() More embarrassing still, the rare reader may find himself a little experientially out-of-touch with the “large-mannered motions” (Wallace Stevens) signaling joy, paradise, and personal forward progress.Īs another slight point of embarrassment, I had to look up the meaning of the word ‘imagination’, and hopefully providing a definition here would not come across as too basic. Awash in thoughts of family farms sold, inheritances forfeited, and next-of-kin pawning them back, such etymologically-constrained readers can be taxed by unfamiliarity with the contemporary, figurative tradition about various conceptual realities being ‘redeemed’. ![]() For example, the question of the imagination’s being ‘fully redeemed’ is one that a stubbornly literal-minded person cannot quite wrap his head around. It’s embarrassingly difficult to find oneself largely without answers but with questions, especially in the context of beautiful reflections on art, liturgy, the imago dei, and other affectively-charged elements of the Christian imagination. This article was originally posted by the John Jay Institute, as part of an online symposium it held on Christian Imagination a couple years back. ![]()

Before we could have ever considered that Musk would buy Twitter, the “bluesky initiative” was central to the company’s long game - now the independent team has launched its invite-only beta, still operating with funding from Dorsey. Like Mastodon, Bluesky plans to be federated, meaning that endless individually operated communities can exist within an open source network. That is, in part, because of how much shitposting is going on there.īluesky hatched from Twitter’s nest in 2019, when Twitter founder Jack Dorsey announced that the platform would fund a small, independent team to develop a decentralized standard for social media.

But as anyone who reads Simpson’s memoir will discover, its pages aren’t filled with sharp-tongued lessons on using English words correctly. And, by focusing on one of the world’s leading authorities on the English language, it might also seem fit for only a small, highbrow audience.

Academics are treated like pariahs simply for doing their job." In my book, I also address why academic freedom is so important, especially within the sexology and biological sciences. It is striking that most people look away now that the political left is starting to suppress science. Research on gender is sensitive, and interference from people thinking left and right is part of the deal. Today, only polite questions are asked, which are supposed to confirm the feelings and beliefs of certain groups.

Oral versions are very limited regionally. Indeed, that appears to be the oldest variant no previous oral version is known, although several have been collected since its publication in 1818.

It has also been good to her in other ways: consoling or diverting her during heartbreak and loss – and helping her write this book. She even talks about poker in a way that recalls Woody Allen's quip about sex: "Is poker horrible? It is if you're doing it right."īut poker has, eventually, been good to her: in 2006 she won half a million pounds on the European Poker Tour, a four-day long poker marathon.
