Spurious Reddit comment on Gibson's Spook Country I plucked from googernaut while chasing (false(?)) memory of early/eerie depiction of ICE: I think it's interesting that a Chinese-Cuban boy is helping a white man mess with America given those nation's history's together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spook_Country#:~:text=Where%20your%20bed%20is%20made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spook_Country#:~:text=Where%20... <- loyalty transmogrified

    Thanks! Maybe we can open up a stack connecting Surrey to Compton https://archive.ph/2025.01.07-011400/https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/11/08/donald-trump-win-electoral-map-00187135#:~:text=Heavily%20Democratic%20Wayne%20County%20saw%20an%20even%20steeper%20drop%2Doff%2C%20reflecting%20Muslim%20and%20Arab%20American%20anger%20toward%20the%20Biden%20administration%E2%80%99s%20continued%20support%20for%20Israel%E2%80%99s%20military%20offensive%20in%20Gaza%20and%20Lebanon. https://archive.ph/2025.01.07-011400/https://www.politico.co... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41499951 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41499951 Lagniappe https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37433030 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37433030 (& I'd thought it was a weird IP encoding)

        Ah trolling gone very wrong (albeit effective) (I couldn't find a link to anecdata of inspired women shouting "Zombie!" at Nigerian soldiers)
        aebtebeten 8mo ago
        Ah trolling gone right (at least as long as I'm an HN orator instead of laborator?) I'd originally heard it as "M— Ä— Heu?", which sounds even less like the source language, but invites the pedantically accurate reply that no one mows hay: one mows grass. "Beg to report, sir," said Schweik innocently, "I can't be called upon to zombie properly to-day, as they were all out of B R A I N S in the K.u.K. canteen this morning." (It's somewhat interesting reading a heavily bowdlerised translation of Hasek after having read Zweig; for instance, I know enough about the sorts of young women who provided —for a modest fee— photos to their fans to make an educated guess as to the suitability of Lt Lukash' album for mixed company)

        > (he had big ensembles) Just tangentially, I wonder to what degree big ensembles help/hurt with getting touring visas? For instance, it's my understanding that the Red Army Choir didn't have much trouble getting US visas, but Billy Bragg did.

        Hmm, I've seen both here in Australia. The Red Army Choir (insert extensively meandering full name) were cheerful, swapped gifts, and sang our national anthem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_roE45-AIU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_roE45-AIU Billy Bragg, bless his soles, gave me a look of loathing when I handed off guitars to him and sound checked, and stomped off stage after his set loudly cursing "fucking yuppies". To his credit and defence, it was Perth in the 1980s. Boom years for unprincipled scumbags with hovercraft money: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFOfd1QTW54 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFOfd1QTW54 ... Kiss My Art indeed.
