not even JRR Tolkien, who famously developed the concept of the Secondary World and firmly believed that no trace of the Real World should be evoked in the fictional world, was able to remove potatoes from his literature. this is a man who developed whole languages and mythologies for his literary world, who justified its existence in English as a translation* simply because he was so miffed he couldn't get away with making the story fully alien to the real world. and not even he, in extremis, was so cruel as to deny his characters the heavenly potato. could not even conceive a universe devoid of the potato. such is its impact. everyone please take a moment to say thank you to South Americans for developing and cultivating one of earth's finest vegetables. the potato IS all that. literally world-changing food. bless.

Where's that tweet about how American chants are "let's go [team name] and some other country (Irish?) fans are "I've made up a song about the other team's drinking problem to the tune of London Bridge Is Falling Down one two three"?

I really need to start reading the blog name because I thought I was having some sort of moment right there.
I feel like the answer to "why aren't the Germans proud to be German" is actually "because they're proud to be Kölners, Münchners, Frisians and Berliners instead".
We have to blow up the sun
Just wait a billion or so years and it’ll do it on its own. Have some patience.
I wonder if there’s a term for the phenomena when you want to make a post about a community problem, but the community is so toxic you have to wrap it up in tons of disclaimers so that people don’t get mad.
Yeah I’m pretty sure JD Vance is just trying to position himself for a post Trump GOP. The man has lied and changed positions so often that his new ‘Israel is bad’ stance is unlikely to stick.
Fun fact: Hot & Cold by Katy Perry was actually about Vance
It’s funny how none of these people don’t get it that there’s no being Trump, there’s only one of him. He is a very specific guy from a very specific time/place that could only attain power at a very specific circumstance - he’s an anomaly, representative of a blend of issues America, at this time, has.
(That and I’m like 5% there’s a Netflix’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” style pact with a demon involved)
I recall Hegseth has once stated that the US would have won Vietnam if they just bombed them more mercilessly all over. ‘Tactics’ he deployed for the Iran war at extremely high cost even by American standards AND losing anyway.
“We would have won if we did THIS!” *proceeds to lose horribly, it’s unclear what he was trying to accomplish*
I swear that's basically the exact same tactic the US used in Vietnam: bomb indiscriminately, go in guns ablazing. Even though it's been analyzed many times that not only was that tactic so predictable that the vietcongs were able to out-maneuver them, but it had the exact same weakness that every single conflict in the middle east has: zero holding ability. The US military is terrible at occupying places for many reasons, but namely because it's so focused on bombing that it can't endear people effectively - or put in place a working government that isn't self-interested and prone to falling apart the moment they leave.
Some good news for everyone today.
I went to a conference showing off this tech back in 2013 and I am so glad to see a TikTok because it means that the technology is getting more popular and ubiquitous
modern media in a nutshell
I feel like this is only true if you ignore the context that back then people read more, so reading (as a skill) was vastly more common than now where people absorb media casually through something like film/show. Not to say those mediums can't have depth, but I think people engage less with something when they're passively watching it as opposed to really getting into the word itself. Not to mention the bias that comes with seeing past text as being more "refined and elegant" when compared to modern linguistics. I feel that people treat the fact that "I have to read it more deeply because it's written unlike how things today" must mean it's smart and deep, m'kay.
Like, just because the works of HP Lovecraft have such an older style of writing doesn't automatically make it "intepretier".
That and, as I've observed, a lot of people these days have shit literary interpretation skills. People treat the idea that just because you can read somehow means you can actually get what the author is saying, and not to mention how the popularity/bastardization of "Death of the Author" has made readers/audiences more likely to interpret things wrong to suit whatever idea or belief they already have. Hell people these days have a hard time interpreting the works of the past today, let alone understand how cinema or shows work. So is it any wonder that some authors/creators will flat out tell you what they're saying, as if grabbing you by the shoulder and slapping you in the face while screaming, "Hey stupid, here's the instruction manual on how to read good."
I mean hell, most people's evaluation of works can be boiled down to "The bestest thing ever" or "This movie is actually evil and killed cinema" - you really think they'll find any deeper nuance when their view of films/shows/etc. is basically a flip-switch of good or bad? Or how most people will just accept mainstream works, but the moment they see an indie they just drool out, "I don't get it" and "Wow, the creator must've been on drugs" and refuse to engage it further. If audiences really wanted smart, engaging works they wouldn't be making the live-action Disney movies guaranteed box-office successes while most indies are relegated to "it was unappreciated for its time". Sure some independent works get through, but the fact of the matter is that the industry is perfectly comfortable where they are because they know what works. Some fail but in the end they're sticking to their guns because it's only a matter of time before audiences return to what makes billions.
Maybe some things have gotten dirt simple - or maybe audiences engage with stupid simple stuff so much that you have to meet them on their level in order get any success.
