I've listened to a lot of covers of this song but none of them quite capture the right tone at 1:54. It's gotta be loud! It's gotta be joyous! Triumphant! youtu.be/F2PJbTuZlTU?...

dollar and Neanderthal are half-cognates. Thal means a dale or valley. Neanderthal/Neander Valley is where the first remains were found. a popular form of coinage in the 1500s was from Joachimsthal, and were called Joachimsthalers or thalers for short, which became dollars in English.
What's your favourite origin/root of a word? (in any language) I love etymology so much. It's like history & conspiracy theories combined. Our language has secret messages & lizard DNA baked into it. Like how 'gargoyle' comes from gargle / gurgle, because of the water spewing out their mouths

FanExpo: still a huge pain in the ass! Registration is unnecessarily convoluted and obviously used for collecting marketing data. Show floor is too crowded. They cram two show's worth of stalls AND the main stage on one half of the exhibit hall. Even the celebrity guests were complaining about noise

did you know? some humans are born without souls. the unensouled exhibit what's called a "cringe reflex" which causes them to "cringe" in response to stuff that's cute and good. the cure varies by individual. a popular method for attracting souls is to wear pretty dresses with lots of bows and stuff

Really cool Misericorde write-up on the A.V. Club! Tangent, but this does make me think that if Hedwig found out how Chaucer had besmirched St. Valentine's feast day she'd get mad enough to go back in time to stop him writing any of that
For Love Week at The A.V. Club, I got a chance to write about the excellent VN Misericorde and how its queer hot mess disaster protagonist struggles against her own deeply entrenched religious beliefs.
