One of the things that gets lost in translation is how rhythmic & fun to read the prose of the original Journey to the West is.

🧵Spotted Recently on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (3?) in a dinosaur shirt is MOST disgruntled. Looking up at Mum with an offended frown he states emphatically: "We are IN THE WRONG CARPARK! The toy shop ISN'T HERE!"
Mum doesn't seem to grasp the gravity of this situation. (1)

Modern Labour parties: joining the class war on the side of the landlords
Surely there are some better arguments on the pro landlordism side of the debate than implying that if a landlord doesn't own the house, the house ceases to exist??

Yesterday I was talking to someone who is much, much smarter at security than I am, and it turned out that they nevertheless consider insider threats to be a fairly abstract concern.
