Replying to @restisents
@restisents enjoying your New Year's Eve episode. I'd love to hear you two do a deep dive into subtitles, both translated and otherwise - currently viewers are poorly served at times. Currently watching All Creatures Great & Small on channel 5 app and the subs are terrible...

Re Squid Game etc, there are great translators out there and surely poor subtitling doesn't help a show's international reputation (though plenty still watch, clearly). But the budget for good subtitling often seems not to be there, even for very expensive programmes.

Turning to @BBCRadio3 for a while. Having hugely scaled back my presence I now don't think I can in all conscience remain on this platform under current ownership. Shame the alternatives are so fragmented. Cat is blissfully oblivious of human politics.

This is dreadful and all, but with my translator's hat on, the first thing that sprang to mind is "surely we don't usually pluralise arson in English?"

Dear German Twitter: what does 'Delektiker' mean? It's from an 1889 article: ' sie sind zu viel Verstandsmenschen, kritische Delektiker.'

Who do I know in Germany? I need to travel from Munich to Brussels this coming Sunday. Are intercity trains generally trustworthy at the moment? The relative I'm visiting is pessimistic about whether I'll get where I need to be...

Whatever your political views, how wonderful to see a senior frontbencher precede their Q&A at #abo24 by playing some solo Bach for us all. Thank you, @ThangamMP 👏 👏

"Blue Monday" is marketing nonsense - pass it on!
Samaritans@samaritans15 Jan 2024
The myth that today is the most ‘depressing day of the year’ seems to pop up every year and we’ve honestly had enough of it! So, we’re spilling the tea on Blue Monday - here’s 3 big reasons why it can get in the bin 🗑️👇

The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4

Things I learned today: "cringe/cringer" has made its way into French
Emilie Mazoyer@EmilieRadioFr3 Nov 2023
ARRÊTEZ TOUT J’ai trouvé encore plus sagouin que les cuisiniers sagouins: les bricoleurs de Facebook. À chaque étape tu cringes et tu crois que c’est fini et le gars en rajoute une couche c’est incroyable.

The "good old days"
The “good old days” are as much as illusion as the good times coming. The “good old days” are an idealistic hallucination indulged in by those poor pessimists who despise the present and fear the future but admire a past of which they know little expect that it can never return to worry them with its troubles. -Hokitika Guardian, June 25, 1921.
