Now Burges’s fascination with Islamic art was by nomeans unique. The Paris Exhibitions of 1867 and 1878 had arousedcuriosity about the style,® not least in the mind of Ludwig II ofBavaria.

[No] style of architecture can be moreappropriate to such a people than that which . . . is characterisedby boldness, breadth, strength, sternness, and virility

Early French, however, ‘is a style which verynearly answers our conditions, and if we go a little further backand examine what is called the Transition style, as developed inEngland and France, but especially the latter, we shall find almosteverything we want.

In the eyes of ecclesiologists their greatest achievementhad been to rescue the Gothic Revival from the smear of Popery.Pugin — that ‘wonderful man’, as Burges always thought of him— had tainted the movement with a whiff of incense. Ruskinsupplied an anti-papal deodorant.

‘Money,’ he noted firmly, ‘is onlya secondary concern in the production of first-rate works. . . .There are no bargains in art.

y his mid-thirties Burges was — in architectural circles atleast — an international figure. He had travelled more widelythan any of his contemporaries. His learning was incontestable.His eclecticism was more broadly based than any of hisrivals; Romanesque, Gothic, Islamic, Greek, Japanese — evenFlorentine and Francois Premier — were all grist to his mill.His Gothic dreams were images of geniu

In the early 1850s Burges was known less as an architectthan as an archaeologist.

As early as 1856 hevowed to ‘work hard and paint visions and dreams and symbolsfor the understanding of people’.** More consciously than Rossetti,more subtly than Morris, he spent his life seeking the numinousin an alien world, groping for a symbolic language to express the _invisible, pursuing those ‘richly coloured images of a historical orlegendary past’ which might ‘serve also as metaphors for the life ofthe human spi

WithBurne-Jones and Rossetti in London in 1856, Morris formedwhat was in effect the second Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. ‘Apartfrom the desire to produce beautiful things,’ he recalled in 1894,‘the leading passion of my life has been and is hatred of moderncivilisation.’

To the young Burne-Jones, Ruskin’s writings were theauthentic voice of truth: ‘in prose what Tennyson is in poetry, andwhat the Pre-Raphaelites are in painting’.*

“I was so confused. I had no idea what was happening. I’d seen typewriters in movies, but they don’t tell you how a typewriter works,” said Catherine Mong, 19, a freshman in Phelps’ Intro to German class. “I didn’t know there was a whole science to using a typewriter.”

The point of having style guidelines is to have a common vocabulary of coding so people can concentrate on what you’re saying rather than on how you’re saying it. We present global style rules here so people know the vocabulary, but local style is also important.

[rant] As a side note, I'm wondering if this is an example of how the internet, social media, and self-publishing has contorted our designation of authoritative sources.For example, the only person I consider to be an authority on typewriters in this forum is Tom (thetypewriterman). He is the only one here (to my knowledge) who has actually been trained as a typewriter technician and has worked in the trade - long before the current crop of self-made authorities 'discovered' typewriters. Tom was actually repairing machines while some of us were still using them for school or work prior to the introduction of the personal computer.The majority of our forum members might be very experienced, some are self-learned shade tree mechanics, but to my archaic way of thinking this doesn't make someone an authority on the subject.I apologize for this obvious and distracting tangent. This is a sensitive subject for me because my own trade has been overrun by internet created, so-called experts who lack any formal training or professional experience. I throw up in mouth a little when I read, or hear the word influencer; the digital generation allows itself to be lead by those who talk the loudest, run the fanciest websites, or have the greater number of social media followers. No one seems to care if those influencers have any credentials that would validate their public opinions.These observations are not meant to slight dragon typer. I don't know who the OP's authority is, nor do I need to; however, I did cringe at the "typewriter god" description and have to wonder if this god is someone who actually worked in the typewriter industry, or is just an enthusiast like most of us here who became an influencer by way of self-promotion.

"Typewriters are not lovers," Marshall said. "You can have more than one."

From early on, Mr. Duvall enjoyed the life of a supporting actor. “Somebody once said that the best life in the world is the life of a second leading man,” Mr. Duvall told The Times. “You travel, you get a per diem, and you’ve probably got a better part anyway.

I had been taken to some rock cairns which are atop some of themountains in south-eastern Alaska. What was this? Rocks in thoserock formations were used to help tell part of a story, and each rockcairn had different stories associated with it.After being taken to the rock cairns, I had been fascinated byother rock formations from around the world, such as Stonehenge. Ihad always wondered: who were the storytellers that usedStonehenge? What knowledge was shared? The decades passed butmy curiosity about rock formations found around the world neverwent away.

Describing Anderson’s approach to physics, Yu recalled him saying, “Theoretical physics is not just doing calculations. It's setting up the problem so that any fool could do the calculation.”

“It is hard to overstate the importance of the ideas of Phil Anderson to the science of SFI and complexity in general," said Santa Fe Institute President David Krakauer. "His 'More is Different' article from Science in 1972 was the most important and rigorous refutation of the foolishness of reductionism for complex systems yet published. Not only did Phil articulate why confusing parts for the whole was a problem, but in the process, he explained why different fields of inquiry – from genetics to economics – needed to exist. This was a supreme act of intellectual modesty and generosity."

“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. “ “I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatsoever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no ‘brief candle’ for me. It is a sort of splendid torch, which I have got hold of for the moment; and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.” The first paragraph is from the play Man and Superman (1903) by Irish playwright, critic, and political activist George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950). It appears in the eloquent, thought-provoking (and lengthy: more than 11,400 words!) dedication, “Epistle Dedicatory to Arthur Bingham Walkley,” of the play. The second paragraph comes from one of his speeches (found in George Bernard Shaw: His Life and His Works by Archibald Henderson). Interestingly, as the Internet has a tendency to do, the first and second paragraphs are erroneously combined, as if they were one thought written by Shaw. This cobbled-together quotation, taken from two completely separate works, appears in dozens of books, all — of course — without proper attribution. American actor Jeff Goldblum is quite fond of this quote and often recites it (most recently, for example, on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, February 15, 2019) as if it were one long paragraph, perpetuating the mistake.

Isaac Asimov is said to have said "Writing to me is simply thinking through my fingers."

The next Complex method in order, is the Numeric,which may be divided into three classes, straight num-eric, duplex and decimal. It is safe to say that withthe straight Alphabetic or Geographic, ninety-five per-cent of the cases where an Index is used will be moreefficiently handled by the use of either one of theseMethods, than by the Numeric. However, there aresome cases where there is a great deal of cross refer-ence, thus making the use of the Numeric methodmore advantageous.

The object of any system is speedin service, and to obtain this, in sub-ject work, all correspondence on agiven subject must be filed together,regardless of who wrote it or at whattime it was written, so that the historyof everything that has taken place onone subject may be found in one place.

ne of the chief drawbacks in using the Alpha-betic and Numeric systems in conjunction with asubject file is that in handling a large amount ofmaterial a great deal of cross referencing has tobe done, causing much extra labor and filling upthe files.

little consideration of the advantages and disadvantages of thisvariation of alphabetic indexing will prove that the standard alpha-betic systems are much more satisfactory in the majority of cases.

But if Cox and Trump represent two rival impulses within the Republican coalition, Trump is undoubtedly winning. “Democrats own what happened today,” Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina said on Wednesday. “Y’all caused this,” Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida told Democrats on the House floor. “It’s time for the Trump administration to shut down, defund, & prosecute every single Leftist organization,” the influential Trump adviser Laura Loomer posted on X. “We must shut these lunatic leftists down. Once and for all. The Left is a national security threat.”Other influential figures on the right have been equally or more strident. “The Left is the party of murder,” Elon Musk declared on X before a suspect had even been identified. Andrew Tate, the misogynist who has been charged with sex trafficking in two countries (which he denies); Alex Jones, the conspiracy-theorist broadcaster; and Libs of TikTok influencer Chaya Raichik all invoked “civil war.”

When you were under contract at MGM, were you writing longhand and then giving it to a transcriber?  Yeah. My secretary. It’s almost as though I swore once I got out of the newspaper business that I’d never look at another goddam typewriter. I like writing with a pen. As a matter of fact, I think the less distance there is between you and a piece of blank paper, the better it works out.

‘Alas, this will never get anything done’ is a theme that recurs in severalnotebooks.

Moyers tells it in the first person: We were in Tennessee. During the motorcade, he spotted some ugly racial epithets scrawled on signs. Late that night in the hotel, when the local dignitaries had finished the last bottles of bourbon and branch water and departed, he started talking about those signs. "I'll tell you what's at the bottom of it," he said. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Before I started working on a computer, writing a piece would be like making something up every day, taking the material and never quite knowing where you were going to go next with the material. With a computer it was less like painting and more like sculpture, where you start with a block of something and then start shaping it. . . . You get one paragraph partly right, and then you’ll go back and work on the other part. It’s a different thing.

If you are capable of turning out a masterpiece, you’ll get other and even better ideas in the future. Right now your job is to write, and to write books so that by so doing you’ll gain the experience to write still better books later on.” (Bloch in an August 27, 1947 letter to Ray Bradbury)

I'm totally prejudiced as I work at a local typewriter repair shop in Bremerton, Washington. We also have a space where we sell them. In general if the local shop has a bunch of machines that you can put on a table to try out, that is good. If they don't want you futzing with the typewriters, I'm not sure the value. Do they have a warranty? If not, then stick to the internet and local antique shops and buy as low as you can. At least that way when you need repair you have a cost buffer.

Hindsight - I wish I could have just gone to a typewriter shop and bought just two or three machines (desktop standard, portable, and ultraportable).

You don’t see working class humor much anymore, except in standup.

Reasoning along similar lines, the historian Carl N. Degler asserted in 1991 that the struggle against Nazism had at last left social Darwinism “definitely killed, not merely scotched.”

In Social Darwinism in American Thought, the 1944 book that popularized the term, Richard Hofstadter writes that the ideology, at least “as a conscious philosophy,” had “largely disappeared” in the United States by the end of World War I, thanks to its uncomfortably Teutonic overtones.

last October, Jonathan Chait argued that the social Darwinist commitments Trump shares with the rest of the Republican Party distinguish it not only from the Democrats but “from conservative parties in other industrialized democracies.”

Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, the top Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, said Mr. Trump had acted “without consulting Congress, without a clear strategy, without regard to the consistent conclusions of the intelligence community” that Iran had made no decision to take the final steps to a bomb.

Whenit becomes dominated by a collectivist creed, democracy will inevitably destroyitself.

A democratic assembly voting and amending a comprehensive economic plan clause by clause, as it deliberates on an ordinary bill,makes nonsense.

as Hemingway noted, “[Writers] are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.”

We poor schlubs out in the world don’t have teams of writers scripting our happy endings, experts caution — and so taking inspiration from rom-coms’ corny gestures just sets ourselves up for disappointment.

As the sociologist Niklas Luhmann put it, “Showing that one could control one’s passion would be a poor way of showing passion.”

It’s clear how relevant Hayek’s warnings remain today. Economic freedom—unlike in the 1980s and ’90s—is in retreat. Faith in “industrial policy” has come to dominate in China, the U.S. and Europe. At the same time, intellectual freedom is under threat as proponents of a woke ideology strive to politicize all of life. Mathematics is now considered “racist” by some, while freedom of speech is under threat. Opponents of economic freedom often oppose intellectual freedom as well.

In 1939, the philosopher Max Horkheimer, co-founder of the Frankfurt School, said: “But whoever is not willing to talk about capitalism should also keep quiet about fascism.”

Q: Do you use a pen to write?A: Actually, I prefer a typewriter. I enjoy the sensation of sitting down and taking time to think about what I want to say and then, typing, which has a kind of physicalness to it as the imprint goes on the paper. It's also something that doesn't take batteries.

If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange these apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas. George Bernard Shaw never said these words, but Charles F. Brannan did.

In his book The Public Domain, the copyright scholar James Boyle talks about the political salience of the term "ecology."

Sure, you care about owls, and I care about the ozone layer, but what does the gaseous composition of the upper atmosphere have to do with the destiny of charismatic nocturnal avians? https://thepublicdomain.org/thepublicdomain1.pdf The term "ecology" welded all these thousands of issues together into a movement.
