Data dump, end of January 02022.
Jan. 30th, 2022 12:45 amGreetings! Let's start with a list of playing with tropes, started by ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
resonant, with the test ideas being "sex pollen," "telepathy," and "fake marriage."
On matters where stuff gets lost in translation, the French president had strong words to say about the unvaccinated in his country, but how he said it doesn't translate perfectly. (This piece is about the linguistics, not the people being spoken to.)
Meat Loaf, who saw a career happen, a career tank, and then a resurgence, before eventually fading out, gets to watch all the stage shows of the RHPS now, at 74 years of age. Along with him, Louie Anderson, funny man and one-time game show host, from complications of cancer (fuck cancer forever), at 68 years of age.
( Let's find even more interesting things inside )
Last for tonight, an interview with Joss Whedon about the strong shift in opinion about him from being a feminist god to the demon of feminism. It does a really good job of letting Joss speak for himself, which for someone who wants to lionize him, will give them room to do so, and for those who believe that he never deserved to be lionized, it will confirm for them what they understand about him. The last line of the piece, delivered by Joss, says much about him and the media landscape, regardless of whether you read it as a genuine statement or as self-serving bullshit.
And something much lighter-fare, why context is important in describing a film you have seen and enjoyed to others.
(Materials viacmcmck, conuly, cosmolinguist, elf, firecat, jadelennox, jjhunter, lilysea, oursin, rydra_wong, snowynight, sonia, thewayne, vass, and anyone else that's I've neglected to mention. If you want to know where I get the neat stuff, my reading list has most of it.)
