"which could mean nothing" and other essential phrases for the modern speculator
THIS PANEL OF NALU. I will never ever get over the expression on Natsu's face.
I love when fanfic authors are freakishly unhinged. "Yes, hello, I am here to write a heart wrenching story about relationships and mortality. My medium is Ducktales (2017)"
Jonathan Stalling’s Yingelishi is a book of poetry that is read in two ways: in Chinese and in English. He offers a line of English poetry, then rewrites it phonetically in the Chinese language, so that the new line in Chinese has its own unique and coherent meaning, which is then translated back into English. The end result is a poem existing in multiple languages and in no languages at all, with multiple meanings that can be read many ways.
[Image ID: A line that reads, “早上好” which is Simplified Chinese for “good morning.” Then a line of English text that reads, “good morning,” followed by a line of pinyin or possibly a different method of transliterated Chinese that reads, “gũ dé mào níng.” Then a line of Chinese characters which reads, “孤德貌宁,” phonically the same as the above pinyin, followed by a line of English text which is the translation of the above Chinese, reading, “Even alone, the moral one / appears peaceful.” End image ID.]
Wanna know what I love most about Mickey 17? It's completely unsubtle in its presentation and in a time where media literacy is in the gutter and literal fascism is coming back in, we need more of that. We need obvious class commentary, we need obvious pastiches of authoritarian demogogues, we need people outright saying to said pastiche that they're an idiot, we need said pastiche to get blown up and his entire movement collapse because subtlety no longer works. We need obvious, blatant revolutionary works in order for people to recall what all the subtle stuff was saying.
