EXO | ‘Cafe Universe’ Teaser

[dogposts]

This is the most adorable thing I’ve seen in awhile. 13/10 would watch twice.

[d-mondaze]

A Christmas Carol is so wild to me because it takes not one, not two, but like four fucking ghosts to convince this dude not to be the biggest douche in the universe. Like, four fucking ghosts came back from the dead, rose from the Goddamn grave to be like, “I came back from the dead because you need to quit your shit.” Fuck. How big of an asshole do you have to be to have four fucking ghosts tell you to stop?

[moon-crater]

Have you ever met a rich capitalist

[mirrorfalls]

Also, one of those ghosts was a rich capitalist douche. He needed to reform Scrooge to work off his own sentence, didn’t he?

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

Marley’s ghost basically told Scrooge that if he kept being a greedy douchebag he would go to hell and Scrooge still needed convincing and that honestly is 100% believable to me

That an old rich white guy being told “Your going to hell unless you help the poor” would respond by going “I still kind of want to NOT help the poor tho?”

[scots-dragon]

Charlie Dickens knew what was up.

[grifalinas]

Honestly the more unbelievable part was that it only took four of them one night

[bespectacledbibliophile]

That part was so shocking that even Scrooge couldn’t believe it.

I really hope folks start to understand this. we don’t participate in these elections because we feel like it’s a legitimate “duty”, we do it because black women are literally one of the most oppressed groups of people in the WORLD and we only have ourselves to fend for.

How Do You Say ‘Email’ in Yiddish?

The first full-fledged English-to-Yiddish dictionary in 50 years is designed to carry Yiddish into the 21st century.

In a thousand-year-old language like Yiddish, with many of its words rooted in the ancient Bible, how would you say “email”? Or “transgender”? Or “designated driver”? Or “binge watch”?

Those terms came into popular usage long after the language’s heyday, when it was the lingua franca of the Jews of Eastern Europe and the garment workers of the Lower East Side and was the chosen literary tongue for writers like Sholem Aleichem and Isaac Bashevis Singer. Though the Holocaust and assimilation have shrunk the ranks of Yiddish speakers — once put at over 11 million worldwide — to a relative handful, Yiddish still needs to keep itself fashionably up-to-date.

So two of its conservationists have produced the first full-fledged English-to-Yiddish dictionary in 50 years and it is designed to carry Yiddish into the 21st century and just maybe beyond. After all, Yiddish has always had a canny way of defying the pessimists.

“Email”? How is “blitspost” — a combination of the Yiddish words for “lightning” and “mail”? “Transgender”? How’s “tsvishnminik,” which blends the common Yiddish words for “between” and “type.” “Designated driver”? “Der nikhterer shofer” does the trick by fusing the Yiddish word for “sober” with that for “driver.” And “binge watch” is “shlingen epizodn,” literally “wolf down episodes.”

… “In the long run if you keep borrowing English, you end up speaking English,” he said.

such a mitzvah, oh my goodness. I have a lot of strong feelings about the preservation of Jewish languages other than Hebrew.

Stranger Things 2: According to Steve

[inkskinned]

how interesting; “witch hunt” from a time when  we slaughtered innocent women by burning them alive  with everyone watching

now means  “when a man is called out  for how he’s been acting.”

[copperbadge]

True story, I work with a database that is basically full of rich philanthropic people, and every time we have an interaction with one of these people as fundraisers, it’s marked down in a note in their record. These notes are often narratives of our meetings with them, and we have a way of searching the text of the entire database’s worth of notes to find a single keyword. So I can search, say, “batman”, and turn up every time Batman has ever come up in conversation with any of our donors. 

A friend of mine and I once spent an afternoon keyword searching the most ridiculous things we could come up with, like “kidnapped” or “livestock” or, indeed, “Batman”.  (One of our donors co-produced several Batman films.)

I got the idea to search Witch and turned up about two dozen incidences of the word – and every single one was a white dude over fifty worth more than $5M, claiming that he was the “victim of a witch hunt” over a recent failed business deal, lawsuit, or news article.
