Calder’s Circus (currently at the Whitney) is one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen at a museum.

You probably should have spent your weekend working instead of wasting it DMing people to lie about being harassed, Karen.

I’m Freudian enough to find confirmation in the word Saussure chooses to analyze - “barbarians.” Hmmmm.
Isn’t it a funny coincidence how Saussure’s example, in context, neatly reproduces the Ancient Greeks own racial biases about how the languages of foreigners sound compared to their own? 🤔

But then it gets much worse in the appendix on phonology:
“The Greek alphabet is an ingenious discovery that was later handed down to the Romans…A one-to-one ratio between sounds and graphs…was realized almost completely by the Greeks. Other nations did not grasp this principle.”
