Is it just me or the translators, or every single literature originally written in French screams “I was written in French”? Reading one after like 3 years and it’s just Frenching Frenchly

"Another problem is the impulsiveness and oversensitiveness of Romance languages, which brings exalted, superlative expressions that are quite unusual in Czech texts: "after a year of heavenly bliss and inexhaustible passion" (Maupassant), "I suffer tremendously" (same source); oversensitive "je souffre" in general is common in French prose. Even more distant to us is sometimes the Spanish pathos." (Jiří Levý, The Art of Translation)

So yeah, the books are Frenching Frenchly

I am once again thinking about digging holes

It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification

I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

Traffic "engineers" worship moloch, exhibit 356

These demons think this is the safest way to build a road, so if a driver loses control they can careen into the sidewalk before scratching their paint

A graphic from Mad magazine #182 from April 1976. The larger piece this comes from is "A Mad Portfolio of Some Idealists' Dreams" by Arnoldo Franchioni.

I have been starting to visit and revisit Mad following the discovery of a huge box of old issues in the storage unit of my wife's late uncle. Some of this stuff has aged rather interestingly.
