becoming an atheist
The likelihood of becoming an atheist was overwhelmingly driven by low exposure to credible cultural cues of religious commitment, with little effect of individual differences in cognitive style.

bedbugs &c
странно, похоже я не записал сюда историю про David Karpf calling Bret Stephens a bedbug, нужно наверстать. во-первых несколько ссылок за август и начало сентября:
. The Internet Saga That Followed A Tweet Comparing Bedbugs And A Columnist
. Bret Stephens Compared Me to a Nazi Propagandist in the New York Times. It Proved My Point.
. Opinion: Bret Stephens and David Karpf: A pox on both their beds
ну и так далее. это тот Stephens, что написал апологию Хандке.
но вот борьба титанов разгорелась с новой силой:
@nytopinion thread is priceless
a few relevant tweets: @NoahCarl90 / @jodyrosen / @NoahShachtman / @ashleyfeinberg / @Shteyngart
and finally has been edited
see also Henry C. Harpending - A Biographical Memoir by Alan R. Rogers at National Academy of Sciences.
and a hit piece Will the 2020s Be the Decade of Eugenics? by one Sarah Jones
also 35 Myths About Human Intelligence by Russell T. Warne and Vocabulary IQ Test

"Ashkenazi Jews might have a marginal advantage over their gentile peers when it comes to thinking better. Where their advantage more often lies is in thinking different," says Bret Stephens. @nytopinionDavid Karpf там активно возражает. похоже, им вдвоем нет места на земле. дуэль?

"As is often the case with feature films adapted for television, 'Home Alone 2' was edited for time. The scene with Donald Trump was one of several that were cut from the movie as none of them were integral to the plot," Chuck Thompson, head of CBC Public Affairs, said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY. "These edits were done in 2014 when we first acquired the film and before Mr. Trump was elected president." - USA TodayLOL! Trudeau’s CBC state broadcaster is in full damage control mode. They say they cut the three second cameo featuring Donald Trump to save time. They think we’re really that stupid. @ezralevant

Great Unwashed
He doesn't understand why "facts don't penetrate" the Great Unwashed. Imagine the unbearable burden of having to carry around "facts" that won't "penetrate." The sheer immensity of it. @a_centrismhe's commenting on this:
By the way, David Remnick turned the New Yorker into the airless repository of fashionable left-wing politics that it is today. Prior to that, it was a reasonable (if staid) liberal magazine that cared more about fiction, poetry, and culture than pamphleteering.
David Remnick to @brianstelter: "We have a country that's split. And to the great frustration of people like you and people like me, we don't somehow understand why the evidence of things, why facts, don't penetrate so many of our brothers and sisters in #America."deplorables... here... или иначе говоря ватники

I love Justin Trudeau
My son is taking part in a social experiment. He has to wear an "I love Justin Trudeau" hat.
So far he's been punched, kicked, spit on and slapped. He's also had a bottle thrown at him.

Lawless
Lawless, 2012 American crime drama film - a family of hillbillies (good guys, like those in Sanctuary) are brewing moonshine and bootlegging on the industrial scale somewhere in the hills of Virginia. US Federal agents from Chicago together with the local police (bad guys) want a cut in the profits. Killings, mutilations, some sex and a very happy ending (no shit).
слагаемые успеха: based on true story + right proportion of graphic violence + some very moderate sex scenes + very american (Trump electorate) badass hero (Forrest Bondurant [Tom Hardy]) = 2,184 (!) ratings and 4.5 stars (no shit) at amazon. When i say Trump electorate - i am not kidding. Here's one of the 5 star reviews:

снег на ветру
Эта походка как старая лентаеще стих Игоря Караулова. сколько там идиотских комментариев...
Синематичных директорских лож
Что вызывает в душе импотента
Не до конца позабытую дрожь
Перебирай же худыми ногами
Грубый асфальт каблучками дави
Секс это выжимка всех моногамий
Вместе с глотком коллективной любви
Ты неприлична и я безразличен
Оба мы старимся в русской грязи
Страх перед пошлостью преувеличен
Выпьем-ка водочки в этой связи
Боги событий партийные боссы
Организаторы массовых драк
Сунут в ответ на любые вопросы
К нашим ноздрям волосатый кулак
Что ж помолчим будем жить по старинке
В мелких грехах в деловой суете
И разрешим патефонной пластинке
Ряд бесконечных ее фуэте
Странная женщина ваша походка
Что-то напомнила или скорей
Это знакомо как бухта Находка
Или как вышки вокруг лагерей
Милая женщина встретиться с вами
Прорубь на полюсе я не совру
Отдохновенно как пауза в драме
И безнадежно как снег на ветру
Сергей Иванович Чудаков

задурил стихами
«Бродский нас совершенно задурил своими стихами» - интервью одного (покойного) Славинского одному Юрию Левингу, уж не знаю кто такой.
via
— Как вы относитесь к его Римским стихам?как трогательно. интересно, именно делать так нельзя? или писать? или и то и другое?
— «Пьяцца Маттеи» — местами гениальные, но испорченные похабенью. «Я ставил Микелину раком» — так нельзя делать.
Свое пребывание в Риме он воспринимал через фразу Гете «Остановись, мгновение, ты прекрасно». При этом Гете он не читал, но вот это ощущение есть в его римских стихах: в стихотворении «Пьяцца Маттеи» прямо целиком приведена эта фраза.это Славинский пишет. что-то я не вижу в Пьяцца Маттеи этой фразы.
— Он любил Нью-Йорк?
— Да, он кое-что понимал в Америке.

три нуара etc
забавная сцена в баре Woman on the Run, нуар плюс семейная драма. отличные съемки в городе, американские горы - супер.
Scarlet Street - лишний раз убедился, что я не поклонник Фрица Ланга. фильм затянут, финал - шекспировская трагедия, но для нуара это перебор. смотреть можно, конечно.
The Blue Dahlia - начало хорошее, потом становится скучно. зря они убили Doris Dowling в самом начале, актриса отличная, да и роль у нее что надо, мечта мизогиниста.
начал смотреть Irishman, но бросил. сколько можно, одно и то же. Only 18% Of "The Irishman" Viewers Made It All The Way To The End
и Тарантину новую про Голливуд бросил, когда понял, что полфильма Мэнсон будет резать Тэйт во весь экран. ну его на хер.
зато American Gigolo досмотрел до конца. Richard Gere очень картинно глазки закатывает, вот уж кто пиздострадалец и борец за право женщин на оргазм. про три часа он загнул, конечно.
