Why call it the 'Stone Age' when most of people's tools were probably wood that just didn't survive the millennia since then? The Wood Age...

People think to make good music, you just need to have a good idea and then execute that idea effectively, but this is a false path. A better approach to making good music is to have a bad idea that you fail to effectively realize.

"It's hardly cricket," they say when speaking of unfairness.
Then one thinks of how poorer countries are treated by the International Cricket Council and one goes: "Well, at least it ain't cricket."

There are many things I love about Finland but somehow the fact it's the sort of country to make another country go "Who shall we send as ambassador...? I know! THIS guy!!!" kinda captures the essence of ALL of it.
Taiwanese ambassador to Finland performs with his metal band at Taiwan-Finland cultural event! 🤘✊️
That's what I call great ambassador

I grew up at a time when America's motto was: "Better dead than red."
Red means something else these days, but hey, it still works, right?
(I've been a Green party voter since the 80s. My dad thinks that means I'm a Stalinist.)

'Post-modern' is old hat, so now they speak of 'contemporary art.' What word will they use when that turns into a petrified style we've left behind? Is there a fashionable style or is it 'anything goes' these days?
Actually, I'm too lazy to follow the art world and only slightly interested.

I don't know why they've given this a 3/10 rating. I'd say it's at least a 5. But then I appreciate silliness: silly script, silly acting and silly robots.

Such disappointment: Fred Astaire's and Ginger Rogers' tap dancing was overdubbed, as their tapping was too quiet to be captured over the sound of the orchestra.
I wonder what implements the sound effects guy used for it.

So they make a new Fantastic 4 movie. And it tells the same origin story as the previous two* and countless comics issues. How original.
* I haven't seen the new one, but the cheap and hilarious Roger Corman version was on Youtube for a while.

Pet peeve: I'm listening to a Wire Tapper from The Wire magazine ("Adventures in new music") and a track comes on that sounds like Azerbaijan's submission to the Eurovision Song Contest. Adventurous indeed. Bah.

The accordion has a long history in Finnish folk music.
The word for accordion is 'hanuri'.
'Hanuri' is also a synonym for 'arse.'

Mo Yan or Yan Mo?
How about westerners spell Asian names with a comma like in library databases: Mo, Yan. That way I'd know immediately which one is the family name and it'll be in the order that East Asians prefer.
Currently, we put Chinese family names first but Japanese ones last: Hayao Miyazaki.
