But wait! Who wrote which first? After all, shitposters — including those on Tumblr — are well known for taking other people's material and reposting without attribution.

Well, Browning's blog post is dated — including on the Internet Archive — to 2022. The Tumblr post is from 2018.

Seeing the song in particular triggered an old memory; as fellow Tumblrites may recall, there was a viral post written by Tumblr users prokopetz, thecolossalennui, and aka-maayan, which makes the same points Browning does using nearly identical language:

Ugh, I hate it when Sauron and Saruman accidentally include me in their group texts...

Not to remotely diminish what you’re feeling - but please remember that, much like Pagliacci in the original, you make a real difference to the people around you. You’re awesome, and you make this dystopian world better. I know my saying this doesn’t fix anything, but I hope it helps.

I'm pretty freaking proud of this map of Mutton Island (from the Fallen London universe) that I made for a tabletop game I DM. It's one of the first full maps I made for myself — most everything prior to this point had been purchased from others. Considering, I think it turned out REALLY well.

Currently rereading @adapalmer.bsky.social’s Terra Ignota, when I stumbled across this on Tumblr… and I have nothing to add except big Blacklaw vibes, and I love it

My brain, immediately:

Nice.

Nice job! The resourcing problem is real; I tried consistently to do the right thing as I understood it by balancing all needs and priorities as best I could, and I still didn’t make anywhere near enough of a difference in the Kargan subplot.

10/10 Would play again!

Look there’s plenty to criticize about the NYT’s coverage lord knows, but this piece IS front and center on their homepage right now:
