- Comment on Other (non-American?) superhero movie franchises besides Marvel and DC? 11 hours ago:
Superheroes are an inherently American concept, and this comes through when authors from other countries do them.
Case in point: Britain. They had a few superhero cartoons like Bananaman and Supergran, but they were inherently parodic, stretching the bombast inherent in the concept to breaking point and deriving humour from the juxtaposition between that and the small, shabby details of everyday life in the UK. Though one could argue that the actual British equivalents of American costumed crimefighters would be James Bond and/or Doctor Who, though these don’t fall neatly into the category.

- Comment on Paul Keating says Aukus locking Australia into a US war against China, which it would ‘certainly lose’ 2 days ago:
Keating is somewhat dewy-eyed about the CCP. If he had his way, the AFP would be arresting and extraditing Hong Kong democracy activists to order and Xi Jinping Thought would be a compulsory subject in high schools.

Ham is actually a veritable biblical name (as in Ham, Shem and Japhet), and was more common in puritanical times. A chimpanzee sent into space by NASA was named Ham, probably after the scriptural figure rather than importentiously the meat.

- Comment on The American Dream, minus 60% 2 weeks ago:
If you accept that society is pyramid-shaped, it’s easy to accept ideas such as a “bottom 80%” (the hideous peasants who do all the jobs you wouldn’t touch) and to imagine oneself as in the “top 20%” if you have a comfortable home, don’t go hungry and have enough to treat yourself to discretionary luxuries like a Netflix subscription. Yes, the private-jet class may be far above you, but your little perch on the side of the pyramid keeps you out of most of the muck.

- Comment on German joke 2 weeks ago:
Anywhere north of the Alps, cuisine had to function as a means of enduring the long, cold winter. Hence a lot of it is hearty stodge, without the joie de vivre one finds closer to the Mediterranean.
If Bavaria is any better, its proximity to Italy may be of credit.
- Comment on German joke 2 weeks ago:
I’ve heard it claimed German humour differs from English humour due to the grammar of the German language making it harder to hide the punchline, and so largely eliminating a lot of wordplay. The humour that remains is either cerebral (conceptual satire and such) or lowbrow slapstick.
- Comment on One Nation secures historic victory in Secret Harbour by-election 3 weeks ago:
I wonder what this implies for the Victorian state election coming up. Normally it looks like a drover’s-dog election, where anyone could beat the unpopular government, and the opposition could cash in by front-loading controversial policies and claiming a mandate. If the likely beneficiary of this is the Trumpist kleptofascist party typically favoured by chronically lead-poisoned boomers who take horse paste for their wind turbine syndrome, and whom no-one who’s not cooked would have taken seriously as a potential government, would they still be in love to reap the benefit of the state of affairs, or could Labor make a miraculous recovery just by the alternatives being worse?
