Thinking about the time our high school English teacher gave us a poem to analyse
When we finished she told us it was Donald Rumsfeld’s WMD press conference, and that was the class

It’s crazy that we don’t impose harsher punishments on people with license plate covers — they’re saying “the rules don’t apply to me.” Driving is a privilege, not a right, and if you don’t meticulously follow the law, it should be very easy to lose that privilege.

It’s because of cars.
I’m not kidding that’s the answer.

Nobody wears hats anymore. You look at photos from the 60s or before, everyone’s wearing hats. There’s no fashions in hats now, no one wears them. It’s not like the sun or rain could go away An essential article of clothing, gone. Bizarre.

gmaps is such an unbelievable piece of technology that it almost hurts to criticize it but you can tell its engineers just don't care very much about cities. it's so strongly oriented towards automobile travel. fitting, really, for an american company based in a sv office park

Dear @googlemaps Come on, you can realise when I’m on a train. They travel along train tracks. You know where the trains are. You know other people are doing nearly identical journeys. Say “Are you on this train” and allow me to plan routes from there.

@liamASAP Squirrel is the biggest giveaway. Nobody else can wrap their mouths around the American pronunciation.

@KromanDavid It's so obvious that we should split the difference and offset the time by 30 min

Everyone thinks they want this but I’m telling you we don’t want this. The sun wouldn’t come up until like 9 am in the winter!

When we turn the clocks ahead on March 8, it will be the last time change ever for BC. We're changing to a permanent daylight saving time, simply called Pacific Time (PT). Learn more: News.gov.bc.ca/33415

It's not a major issue but I'd like to see Congress take up copyright reform. 95 years is absurd. Anything produced prior to 1960 should be public domain.

Hangman is a lovely childhood game where you slowly draw a man kiling himself if another kid can't read your mind.

@RichardBratby This is why I had to learn what a crotchet was before I conducted in Britain the first time.
English
One reason why US classical music / orchestral culture is so irrelevant to its British equivalents. It's basically a German set-up, rooted in German practices, traditions and assumptions. The language translates (though not even that, always), but little else does.
Rory Sutherland@rorysutherland
The bits Brits find confusing about US culture often emerge from German culture. Eg that weird marching band shit in the middle of Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Perfect film with 10 minutes of wtf in the middle.

I think it’s some people’s first day on earth but like you do know Connor and Hudson will likely not ever be cast as a leading romantic pair together again right? that hollywood doesn’t make 5 different projects with the same two actors as leads right?

Heated Rivalry but set at the Curtis Institute of Music in the 1930s with Samuel Barber and Gian Carlo Menotti as the protagonists

@JillFilipovic Nobody with diction as poor as Ezra's should command such a high price for speaking.
English
I am genuinely confused about why people are mad at an opinion columnist and podcaster getting paid to give talks about his opinions and his work. Is the argument that no one should ever be paid a speaking fee…? Or only people you personally dislike?

For just between $40,000 and $70,000 you can hear Ezra Klein's "trademark depth of policy knowledge and academic research" in person.

As a mature adult, it’s very important to hate a font, and the people who use that font, with an irrational intensity
