dreamer_easyIn Ukraine reporting, Western press reveals grim bias toward 'people like us'. (LA Times, March 2022) Oh, shit.
Don't Be Ashamed to Mourn a Celebrity (Rolling Stone, January 2018) "... it hurts that while they were able to be there for you when you needed it most, there was nothing you could do for them."
Squid Game and the real Korea
Q&A With Voice Artist on Why Dubbing Will Never Die (Sixth Tone, January 2017). Why Chinese TV series routinely dub the characters' voices.
So, Gutenberg Didn’t Actually Invent Printing As We Know It (Literary Hub, June 2019) As well as inventing pop music, Korea invented moveable type -- a technology Gutenberg may have known about. | The Muslims of South Korea (Al Jazeera, November 2017)
The Full Meaning of DOKI-DOKI in Japanese (Linguablog, December 2018) Onomatopoeia for things that don't make a sound. (Korean has this too.)
A Well-Prepared Meal (The Two Doctors) (El Sandifer, TARDIS Eruditorum, May 2012)
The Town That Went Feral (The New Republic, October 2020). "When a group of libertarians set about scrapping their local government, chaos descended. And then the bears moved in." I can't help feeling like we're all living there. (This article could just go 'neener neener' but it looks more deeply than that.)

What do you say to a constantly tardy guest? 'Welcome! C'mon in!' (Washington Post, January 2021.) "Is etiquette important? Yes, emphatically so. It gives us a general idea of how to be considerate. It’s a blueprint for people who don’t want to give offense. But it stops being useful when it’s deployed instead as a blueprint for taking offense."
50 new genes for eye colour (King's College London, March 2021).
Confirmed! We Live in a Simulation (Scientific American, 1 April 2021). Fun with mind-bending existential ideas, and an unexpected, poignant conclusion.
