Mientras tanto, en Argentina, existen "duelos astrales" por el corazón del presidente que no confía en nadie más que su perro muerto (y/o clonado)

They gentrified bioterrorism (?

They'll feel bad about this in a few years. Someone will take a photo of a National Guard pig brutalizing a student and get a Pulitzer for it. They'll make a nice little memorial commemorating it. The next EDI hire president will be sure to thank the brave students of Columbia for their radical action years ago before sending in more pigs to deal with whatever is happening on campus then. They'll golf clap as whatever NGO leech who wants to claim credit for the encampment movement gets their next grant. All will be well.

OKAY Now I'm gonna tell you about the manga I read last night and I'm obsessed with:

It's called Heterogeneous Linguistics. It's about a human linguist who travels a fantasy world to learn about the language and culture of monsters, and they aren't your regular "girls with animal ears" monsters (well, the little girl is half-human, but that is very important for the story later), every single one has a different way of communicating based on their anatomy and mentality, with quirks based on biology, culture and ways of thinking. It has lovingly crafted worldbuilding, exceptionally smart writing, and cute moments. It challenges you constantly as you actually struggle to understand the world and the people who are shown to you with the main character, and it's always a pleasant, intriguing experience. There's also a very interesting backstory that slowly reveals itself between the relationship of "monsters" and humans. And the quirks of a linguistic manga translated from Japanese to other languages brings a whole meta layer to it.

It's so good it has permanently raised my bar on what I expect from worldbuilding from now onwards. Go check it out.

It's available in Mangadex in English, Spanish, and Italian.

If you are not convinced yet, here's a couple panels that had me rolling in the floor last night:

AWOO! IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE ALL SET!

(spoilers: knowing AWOO! is not enough)

Microsoft Dinosaurs (1993) Tyrannosaurus Rex

para estos pelotudos de re mierda todo es un curro excepto meter a pendejos en las apuestas online

Dinocephalosaurus, a strange, viviparous reptile from the Triassic, gives live birth in the shallows.

El chiste ese del sermón me hizo acordar a uno de mis favoritos:

Un borracho sube a un colectivo y grita:

-Todos los que están de este lado son unos hijos de puta! - apuntando a los asientos de la derecha, -Y todos los que están de este lado se pueden ir a la puta que lo parió! - apuntando a los asientos de la izquierda.

Un señor de los asientos de la derecha se levanta y dice:

-Oiga señor, que yo no soy ningún hijo de puta!

El borracho apunta a la izquierda:

-Pero entonces andá a la puta que te parió!

Just learned about this funny motherfucker:

And given he is known from Muslim China to the Mediterranean, I have to wonder if an eccentric guy with all sorts of sayings riding a donkey might have inspired Sancho Panza (and maybe Don Quijote too)
