NEW VIDEO! Star Wars "fans" on Twitter have a serious literacy issue. Some children were left behind in the making of this segment.
NEW VIDEO! I talked about Ben Shapiro's (somewhat) recent debate on scripture and morality, and had some fun joking with chat about parallel ideas (rare Bakshi reference at the end).
NEW VIDEO! I finally weighed in on stream on the whole James Somerton situation now that it's January, because I've seen some really bad takes about it.
NEW VIDEO! While on holiday break from streaming, I saw "Wonka" and lived to tell the tale.

"The profanation of the unprofanable is the political task of the coming generation."
Giorgio Agamben, "Profanations"
"Religion can be defined as that which removes things, places, animals, or people from common use and transfers them to a separate sphere. Not only is there no religion without separation, but every separation also contains or preserves within itself a genuinely religious core. The apparatus that effects and regulates the separation is sacrifice: through a series of meticulous rituals, which differ in various cultures and which Henri Hubert and Marcel Mauss have patiently inventoried, sacrifice always sanctions the passage of something from the profane to the sacred, from the human sphere to the divine. What is essential is the caesura that divides the two spheres, the thresh old that the victim must cross, no matter in which direction. That which has been ritually separated can be returned from the rite to the profane sphere. Thus one of the simplest forms of profanation occurs through contact (contagione) during the same sacrifice that effects and regulates the passage of the victim from the human to the divine sphere. One part of the victim (the entrails, or exta: the liver, heart, gallbladder, lungs) is reserved for the gods, while the rest can be consumed by men. The participants in the rite need only touch these organs for them to become profane and edible. There is a profane contagion, a touch that disenchants and returns to use what the sacred had separated and petrified.
The term religio does not derive, as an insipid and incorrect etymology would have it, from religare (that which binds and unites the human and the divine). It comes instead from relegere, which indicates the stance of scrupulousness and attention that must be adopted in relations with the gods, the uneasy hesitation (the 'rereading [rileggere]') before forms and formulae- that must be observed in order to respect the separation between the sacred and the profane. Religio is not what unites men and gods but what ensures they remain distinct. It is not disbelief and indifference toward the divine, therefore, that stand in opposition to religion, but 'negligence,' that is, a behavior that is free and 'distracted' (that is to say, released from the religio of norms) before things and their use, before forms of separation and their meaning. To profane means to open the possibility of a special form of negligence, which ignores separation or, rather, puts it to a particular use."
Giorgio Agamben, "Profanations"
[This one is also a quote used in Andrew Hui's "The Poetics of Ruins in Renaissance Literature"]
"Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as they migrated from the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, 'Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.' And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered [divi-damur] abroad upon the face of the whole earth.' The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built. And the Lord said, 'Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.' So the Lord scattered [divisit] them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore it was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered [dispersit] them abroad over the face of all the earth." (Genesis 11:1– 11, New Revised Standard Version)

For some people, just living is hard.
Our hypocrisy is we do mourn them
when they die, despite their strength,
but we call them weak--
when they survive.
"Lord who made the lion and the lamb, / you decreed I should be what I am. / Would it spoil some vast eternal plan / if I were a wealthy man?"
--Fiddler on the Roof
actually got this version of this quote from Andrew Hui's "The Poetics of Ruins in Renaissance Literature" but thought it was too cool not to share somewhere
"We fix our gaze on the remains of a triumphal arch, a portico, a pyramid, a temple, a palace, and we plunge into meditation. We anticipate the ravages of time, and our imagination scatters over the very buildings in which we live. All at once, solitude and silence reign around us. We alone remain, of an entire nation that no longer exists; and this is first line of the poetics of ruins." —Denis Diderot
