a little light Classical Chinese translation before bed because that’s what I’m like:

Zengzi’s wife was going to the market when their son ran after her, crying. She said “Go home! When I get back, we’ll slaughter a pig.” When she came home, Zengzi went out to catch a pig. His wife stopped him, saying, “I was just joking with the boy!”

Zengzi told her “you can’t joke with children like that. They have no wisdom, only the guidance of their parents. If you deceive him now, what he will learn is deception. If a mother deceives her child, the child no longer trusts their mother, and nothing more can be taught.” Then they had bacon.

The New Zealand Parliament maintains a list of banned words and phrases that are considered unparliamentary or in some way unbecoming of a representative, along with the year they were banned, and honestly? A bunch of these need to make a comeback in US politics.

Here are a few choice examples:

- Idle vapourings of a mind diseased (1947)
- His brains could revolve inside a peanut shell for a thousand years without touching the sides (1949)
- Energy of a tired snail returning home from a funeral (1963)
- Silly old moo (1977)

I see great picture, I go to boost, but oh no! There is no alt text. My hands fall off my keyboard in defeat, my heart sinks: I cannot spread this great picture.

Russian Joke:
An old man stands on a street corner in Moscow yelling, “The President is an idiot!”
Police quickly surround and handcuff him. They say, “Don’t you know it’s illegal to insult President Putin?”
The old man says, “But you don’t understand! I meant the Ukrainian president, Zelensky; he’s the one I was insulting.”
The police captain says, “You can’t fool us; everyone knows who the idiot is.”

The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.

I sent the historian
an article documenting
a respiratory disease outbreak
at the concentration camp
they’ve built in Florida,
and the historian replied
that in the 20th century
fascism arrived
after a pandemic,
but in the 21st century
fascism arrived
as a pandemic continued.
