I can say that I appreciate his willingness to help humanity and create a sustainable civilization on Mars. Longtermism is very near to my heart. We need more people who prioritize the far future enough to try to prevent civilization from collapsing.

English is such a vivid language whereas French is more searching for detailed shades. 😆

In the 1970s, Italian singer Adriano Celentano created a hit song that defied convention. "Prisencolinensinainciusol," released in 1972, featured gibberish lyrics meant to sound like English. The song was a playful satire of the global fascination with American culture and the English language. Despite its nonsensical lyrics, the song's catchy melody and Celentano's charismatic performance made it a hit not only in Italy but also internationally.

The Greeks of Pontus did not speak Turkish until the Islamofascists came and forced them to speak only Turkish. But their language remains alive, a Greek dialect that must be preserved, as it has been for thousands of years. English subtitles.

#WATCH | While interacting with students in Rae Bareli today, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi said, "People from BJP-RSS say that one should not learn the English language. Mohan Bhagwat says we should not speak in English. But the English language is a weapon, if you learn this language, you can go anywhere, be it Tamil Nadu, Japan or Mumbai or work in any company...They want you not to learn English because where this language is used, they don't want Dalits, Adivasis and the poor not to come there. But English is your biggest weapon...Hindi is also important, it is not right to cut your roots...But English is also very important."

They said English culture doesn't exist. They said it in English. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 The most spoken language on Earth. Born on this island. Fifteen hundred years ago, three tribes crossed the North Sea. Angles. Saxons. Jutes. They brought words we still use today. Earth. Water. Fire. Love. Mother. Father. Child. They called their language Englisc. They called this place Engla land. Land of the Angles. Then the Vikings came. They didn't just raid. They settled. Became neighbours. And when you live next door to someone, your languages merge. Sky. Skull. Knife. Window, the Viking for "wind-eye." They. Them. Their. Those aren't English words. They're Viking. Ordinary people chose them because they worked better. Then came 1066. The Normans conquered England. The new rulers spoke French. For three hundred years, English had no official status in its own country. But the people never stopped speaking it. The farmer called it a cow. The lord called it beef. Pig and pork. Sheep and mutton. That class divide is still on your plate tonight. English didn't die. It swallowed ten thousand French words and came back stronger. Today. One and a half billion people speak this language. Every pilot on Earth speaks it. Half the internet is written in it. No academy designed it. No king commanded it. It was built by ordinary people. On this island. They said English culture doesn't exist. They said it in English. You're the reason these stories reach millions of people. Not sponsors. Not ads. You. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

👤: Bad Bunny is one of the most recent artists that has really proven that a language barrier when it comes to music doesn’t matter. Do you guys feel like it’s necessary to cater to the English language anymore to reach a wider audience, or are those days gone? 🐱: I think since K-pop culture has been become more bigger and bigger, a lot of people are interested in K-pop more, so even with singing Korean a lot of people still listen to it. But sometimes we think it’s important to sing in English so that we can get closer to our international fans, like our neverlands, more, so that’s why this time we came out with MONO in English.

This is EPIC! While there are some who fall in the trap of the BBC interviewers, there are others who give them back nicely! We have made English language as a status symbol precisely because of this colonial mindset. It is just a language of communication with 60% words borrowed from other languages.

I just discovered a hidden gem on YouTube, "It came from the manga," a channel where translator Nicholas Theisen performs dramatic English language readings of pre-WW2 manga. This is a clip from Sho-chan Adventures. It currently has only 174 subscribers - but it deserves more!
