Been seeing a lot of ultra nationalist stuff on Japanese Threads. I hope it's not indicative of a significant amount of support for those ideas. I learned a new term: ネットウヨ meaning basically "far right keyboard warrior".

Given the existence of Sleepy Hollow and a street in Omaha called Happy Hollow, I feel the existence of the five other Dwarven Attributes' Hollows is implied.

One of my favorite little word related factoids is about the Latin word "ecce" -- often translated "look!" While learning Latin I had always assumed it was an imperative form of a verb -- and you could probably even argue that that is how Romans saw it, just a defective verb that has only imperative

This is super folk etymology levels right now, in that I'm going off of vibes right now, but I feel like 好吃 "hao chi" from Mandarin informed Japanese 美味しい . Those aren't ordinary readings of those characters (outside of "oishii") in Japanese that I know of. #folketymology #好吃 #美味しい

I realize the reach of this repost here is likely mostly people who already are aware, and who are just as concerned, but among the terrible things being orchestrated right now, this is definitely an important one we need to fight against. This should not have happened.

"I have no mouth and I must scream" except I do have a mouth, it's just woefully insufficient for the amount of screaming I must do.

A friend of mine did an amazing Tanjiro (Demon Slayer) burlesque show. I've mentally subtitled that act as 「鬼滅のヤバッ」 #オヤジギャグ
