I want to take a moment to denounce Anglishizers — those in the Anglish movement who assert that the Norman conquest and its linguistic consequences have been a disaster for the English language. These people are fucking stupid, and couldn’t be more wrong. This is an extremely popular Tweet, and was widely screenshotted and shared on a number of forums I post on.
In regards to this tweet, to faithfully delatinize you would have to say "hoose" and not "haus" -- if you're going to insist on Anglicization, why choose the post-Norman Middle English pronunciation of words over the traditional Anglo-Frisian one? Probably because it is obvious that "hoos" sounds fucking ridiculous. Anglishizers constantly do this kind of sleight of hand, because they know that Old English is full of ridiculous Dr. Seuss sounding words and they want to delatinize without sounding like a fucking Swede. That really proves that these people are motivated by anti-Latin sentiment more than any love of the ancient language. The fact that they are telling people to say sneedinghouse and not sneedinghoos makes it self-evident that Norman transformation of English changed it for the better.
Regardless, the poetry of John Keats, Lord Byron, and Wordsworth is the greatest in history. Even famous poets writing in other languages have said so. If you’ve never seen William F. Buckley interview the Jorge Luis Borges, the titan of Spanish language poetry and literature, it’s worth a watch just for him to explain why he thinks English is vastly superior to his own language: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNxzQSheCkc
You can make English soft and sexy like a Romance language in seductive sonnets, flowing and dreamlike as a Celtic language, but also give it the sharpness of Germanic ones when needing fury and resentment. English is capable of having dozens of thematic flavors conveying the same idea. Middle English made English a great language of thought, giving it the scientific precision of Latin and letting it further take loans from Greek, enabling English's future transition into the global language of science, engineering, and computing.
I’m sorry, but mispronouncing the words of various North Germanic languages to make a millennia-late attempt at delatinizing is fucking cringe. This is like speaking Klingon for people that really hate Catholics. Like any decent American of Protestant stock I too oppose the papacy, but not to such a degree that I’m willing to make myself sound like a fucking retard over it.
They say the simpsons were ahead of the their time. Well, 20+ years later I get where the name "Sneed's Feed and Seed" comes from (formerly chuck's)

thank you for this piece
i recently discovered what nostr is not just a twitter replacement, but actually offers different apps. Is there a chan or similar imageboard based on the nostr tech? Also what other apps do you find most interesting/useful?
you ready for the george floyd biopic? the irl trolling is going to be epic https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32436212/
Recently a longtime associate of mine asked about the origin of the slur "dog brain" which is now used almost exclusively against women. As a longtime connoisseur of rape, misogyny, verbal abuse, and physical violence towards women, I decided to investigate the history of this beloved and alluring term which so accurately describes the female psyche.
The insult "dog-brained" first appears in print in 1835, in Robert Montgomery Byrd's The Infidel, Or the Fall of Mexico: https://archive.org/details/cortesorfallmex02birdgoog
"Dog-brained churl and ass" one of the main characters used to rebuke a Mexican. Byrd is a name I recognized from reading his "Nick of the Woods", which is an awesome novel about committing revenge genocide against Injuns that I actually recommend you read if you're into Tom Quick the Indian Slayer portrayed as a emotionally tortured Quaker. I also searched for "dog brain" up until 1835 just to confirm Byrd as the originator of the term as an insult -- every prior usage of dog brain is in reference to actual canine grey matter. Dog brained is then used again by an author of no renown in another novel in 1878, and in a short story in Munsey's Magazine at the turn of the century. It then disappears from publication for decades.
It returns as a more pointed insult in the 1970s, used against Communists, "dog-brained bureaucrats of the Soviet Union" in Finis Farr's 1975 "Fair Enough: The Life of Westbrook Pegler" and expliticly misogynistic "DOG BRAINED BITCH!" in a 1979 issue of Denver Quarterly, in reference to an obese and ugly woman.
Then it nearly disappears from publication again, besides a single instance in a TV guide in the 80s. Then in 1995 Laurence James under the pseudonym James Axler used the phrase in his "Shadowfall", the 26th book in the Deathlands saga, which is about a postapocalyptic society of eternal road war. From there the most common instance in the phrase is in multiple publications dedicated to FASA's franchise Shadowrun starting with 1998's Psychotrope. As far as I can tell, Shadowrun is the first instance of a society of multiple authors using the term in a small community and likely the body of authors which popularized the term for general usage. After that it reentered the common vernacular and there are a lot of post-2010 uses of the term.
As far as I can tell "dog brain" and "dog brains" as a noun used to describe people rather than "dog-brained" as an adjective is a development that came with social media.
Dog-brained has its linguistic origins in a documented genocide appreciator and a notable history of being leveled as a term against communists and women, making it extremely based and redpilled. I recommend you use this term more often and also inform those using it about its storied roots in Racial Holy War, woman-hatred, and anti-Communist polemic.
this is the kind of quality posting grok should aspire to be instead of reworking shitipedia in normie form
Dads against Pedators (DAP) needs to get on nostr. They're banned from youtube, for violence because they go around baiting pedos and beating the shit out of them on cam before turning them in. The pedos always take the beatings because its easier than having the cops called on them, and the guys administering the beatings always take the misdemeanor for the beating given. lel
that's how 4chan did it, people would hang out on /v/ all day and then go to torrent stuff on the secret torrent board. I see it on fitgirl-repacks as well, people asking for help installing games. Or on 1337 when you have some software repackaged by a jeet and no one understands how to bypass the liscence. On steam don't people discuss games before buying?
indexing magnet links or ipfs addresses to files is surely to blow up the population around here
plus who are we going to troll without normies and which groups are we going to raid if there are no lowcow farms?
can nostr be used for filesharing like how people are using discord?
