#conceit
Remember when we all used to have to play along with the conceit that the GOP is the “party of personal responsibility“
Speaking at a press briefing now, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirms that the air traffic control outage was caused by a failed migration from copper wires to fiberoptic cables by L3Harris.

"The network that we use at the FAA to control the airspace — L3Harris actually owns that network."

Oh my.
This parady exposes the conceit perfectly.
We (Daniel Willingham - founding teacher - and I) have made the bold move of joining Omega School. As cognitive psychologists, we've read and written a lot about teaching at different levels, so we're now accomplished teachers.

this keeps coming up and i am never any less baffled by it. i see and understand the arguments - to a point - but the basic conceit is so grossly ridiculous i don't know how to make it compute
In Homer's Iliad, we rarely encounter the Greek word for 'I' or much that refers to internal thought or decision-making. https://bit.ly/4C1lZgk

Cultural theorist Brian J. McVeigh agrees with Princeton psychologist Julian Jaynes' claim that the Homeric Greeks had no internal life or self-awareness.

Audrey appears to be suffering from the right wing conceit that there’s no such thing as a rabid sociopath who should never be handed a Ministerial warrant, there are merely kind-hearted politicians with a communications problem
Audrey delicately suggests Simeon Brown's "approach to communication" might not suit the role of Minister of Finance. I suggest that he is unsuited to the role because he's left a horrible steaming mess in every single portfolio he has held as a minister.

Most psychologists have no internal life or self-awareness and then just apply this conceit onto the rest of us

Apart from the incitement, I am struggling to parse the conceit. The Home Secretary is Ulysses while Westminster is Troy?
While I was in the supermarket I couldn't help but notice how disgusting/bordering-on-inciting the Spectator's cover is this week 🤢

To actually speak to an obstetrician as though you somehow know more than someone who has dedicated their career to this field?

That’s beyond arrogance.

It’s sheer audacity.

The level of conceit is astounding.

I enjoy the conceit that Evelyn Normielib makes her wishes known upon the world and only certain people can divine her intentions.

"Mad at people I agree with" is basically the core conceit of social media and why life has just been going downhill, yes, that's about it.

I will say this: the sex scenes are surprisingly tasteful, and while some might not appreciate the overall "if I did it" conceit, that frame does allow Biden to suggest some intriguing new scenarios for how the country did get so well and thoroughly fucked. 2/5 stars

yes. That conceit kept taking me out of the drama.

Middle stuck in the nursery for hours and really needing to go.
Stuck between trying to hold it in for hours and inevitably be found with wet shorts and a puddle at their feet or to conceit and wear the diapers and inevitably be found with a wet diaper around their waist

I'm the only person willing to acknowledge that they ruined the conceit of pretending that a band are actually robots. That's fine. I can handle it.

@bransonreese.bsky.social if you had known that signing up for the animal conceit would mean having to get really good at drawing everything from anthropomorphized giraffes to praying mantises, would you have made different decisions?

Weave a web so magnificent
Disguise in the art of conceit
Give a very firm handshake
And take the bastards for everything that they rate

Congrats on the 16k!

This is an old dnd character that I love drawing. The conceit was, “what if a necromancer was a theater kid? And really loved the pageantry of a necromantic ceremony?”

A ★★★★ review of The Call of Cthulhu (2005)
the conceit of doing Lovecraft as a silent film works spectacularly well, and it does a wonderful job creating its vintage mood. All of the reading and research and correlating and slow travel in the ...

The attempts to rehabilitate Emanuel seem to all suffer from the conceit that he wasn't -- at best -- an amoral disaster as a mayor. And his readiness to let down state Dems in elections during his time in office should be cause for any Democrat to treat him as a feckless, narcissistic cipher.

every once in a while I get the criticism "so are they just going to solve a murder in every one of these? kind of repetitive"

it is a murder mystery series. you either accept the conceit or get off the ride

Super clever conceit and very well acted.

i really do have to respect the subgenre of events in PTN where the conceit is just the chief fails and the woman at the center of it meets a horrible fate and the chief is lewdly bad ended Unless You Pull The Gacha, And Rewrite The Strands of Fate,

imagine if you took ridgewood's conceit of 'almost within reach' home ownership in the city and gave it more federal credit unions and a bowling alley

I always am. 😂

And there's no conceit in my family.

I have it all. 😂

guy who thinks the conceit of umamusume is that they're girls who just think they're horses
