Ours sounds like laser beams. “CHEW!”
It’s hard to not read this and see the devastating impact of capitalism on our world politics. Brexit, Trump, new rise of naziism, inaction on climate change, pandemic response in the US, and erosion of democracy… how different would these have been if the worlds media was not centralized under one billionaire and his whims.
Great article.
moistclumpto Excellent Reads@sh.itjust.works•Why is English so weirdly different from other languages? | Aeon Essays1·26 days agoWhen saying ‘eeny, meeny, miny, moe’, have you ever felt like you were kind of counting? Well, you are – in Celtic numbers, chewed up over time but recognisably descended from the ones rural Britishers used when counting animals and playing games. ‘Hickory, dickory, dock’ – what in the world do those words mean? Well, here’s a clue: hovera, dovera, dick were eight, nine and ten in that same Celtic counting list.
Interesting! Whole article was interesting.

Came here to say this. During trucking convoy I felt sad every time I saw the Canadian flag. It’s got its pride and power back these days and I no longer have to assume someone’s anti-vax when I see it on someone’s home or vehicle.

My first thought was that this woman’s having a mental breakdown. And I don’t buy it’s “for her kids”. What was threatening her kids? Are her kids going to see it that way in 20 years?
Usually I’m live and let live but something about this strikes me as… extreme and not a realistic expectation of people across the world without a cohesive plan.
I really, really sorry. I can’t even imagine. The neglect in the states should be registering world wide as a war crime. I went to San Francisco a couple years ago and was very, very depressed at the state of things. No sign of collective sense of responsibility or compassion.
As a Canadian, this has been scary and disheartening. I don’t know where we go from here.
It was one thing in 2016 when it wasn’t the popular vote and didn’t know what they were getting into. But now all I can think is… most of the voters voted for Trump even with Project 2025 published.
I don’t know how to act or feel. I don’t know what happens next.

The article is about the shifting creative career landscape and how different people have adapted. I’m not Gen X, or a creative, but I do think the timing of these downturns make a difference and the industry is under unique strain.
