Для японцев визит Трампа был демонстрацией того, с каким бездельником и говнюком их премьер-министру приходится иметь дело ради отсрочки тарифов на японский экспорт. Пресс-конференция стала вишенкой на торте, когда наш т.н. президент присоединился к северокорейскому Киму в личных оскорблениях Байдена. Мало того, что японцы не оскорбляют публично своих соотечественников перед иностранцами, так еще им невозможно себе представить, что на высшем уровне президенту Америки захочется поддержать вонючего северокорейского царька.

Bullshit eaters - 71%

You need to be an idiot to believe this crap. Again, Republicans are now opposite not to Democrats, but to Independents.

Quote of the Day: ⊥ -> A, i.e. everything is possible.

“But the relation of language to painting is an infinite relation. It is not that words are imperfect, or that, when confronted by the visible, they prove insuperably inadequate. Neither can be reduced to the other's terms: it is in vain that we say what we see; what we see never resides in what we say. And it is in vain that we attempt to show, by the use of images, metaphors, or similes, what we are saying; the space where they achieve their splendour is not that deployed by our eyes but that defined by the sequential elements of syntax.
...
But if one wishes to keep the relation of language to vision open, if one wishes to treat their incompatibility as a starting-point for speech instead of as an obstacle to be avoided, so as to stay as close as possible to both, then one must erase those proper names and preserve the infinity of the task. It is perhaps through the medium of this grey, anonymous language, always over-meticulous and repetitive because too broad, that the painting may, little by little, release its illuminations.”

Foucault, Michel. “The Order of Things: An Archaeology of Human Sciences.”

He makes an excellent point about a fundamental incompatibility between two systems of representation as a beginning, rather than a dead-end obstacle.
