  1. "The lightness of being Vaibhav Sooryavanshi".

    What a it is to watch the teenager bat: peerless, fearless. I hope he plays at least two more decades. And if he does, he will likely own most batting records at some point.🏏

  2. A quotation from Primo Levi

    The ascent of the privileged, not only in the Lager [prison camp] but in all human coexistence, is an anguishing but unfailing phenomenon: only in utopias is it absent. It is the duty of righteous men to make war on all undeserved privilege, but one must not forget that this is a war without end. Where there exists power exercised by the few or by only one against the many, privilege is born and proliferates, even against the will of the power itself; but on the other hand it is normal for power to tolerate and encourage it.

    Primo Levi (1919-1987) Italian Jewish chemist and writer
    The Drowned and the Saved, ch. 2 “The Grey Zone” (1986) [tr. Rosenthal (1888)]

  21. Something happened today that I never really expected but I'm still largely disappointed. We are shopping at our local corner store and we come around the corner to find an altercation between the German speaking teller and a woman screaming and cursing in the Queen's very own English.

    The woman is upset as she cannot find the bag and when she does refuses to pay as she has already paid for a different bag. The teller is upset as she is doing her very best to communicate in a language she has very little experience in, has had to describe where the bags are and that she must pay as this one is 50 cents more.

    The upset customer is cursing at her, insulting her and not speaking a word of German. The Teller is frustrated and trying to maintain decorum and stand her ground that this bag is 50 cents more and that she must pay. I come across this scene and decide it is time to intervene.

    I explain in Hollywood/Newscaster US English, yes that is the US accent I have. The one you see on every news station, hear in every movie. That one. That she has told you this one costs 50 cents more and you must pay. I can see a thousand feelings on this womans face. Yes I understood every insult. Yes I understood every word. Yes, you are being the exact entitled anglophone you have heard about. I see her reel up, then deflate.

    This is an interaction between the most british british english I've ever heard and the most vanilla US english. Hyper privilige meets hyper privilege and I really think this is what privilege should be used for, combatting people that are using theirs incorrectly. I thanked the Teller in the most German way possilbe and she was very grateful in her own German silent way.

    The moral of the story really is don't come to a country and scream at people in your own language. This town is backwater and I have not noticed a great deal of English fluency. Being louder and angrier won't make you more understood, it will, however, get you on youtube and tiktok. I don't know why this lady was here. Maybe a recent move but it doesn't excuse the antics, doesn't excuse an all too common abuse of English speaking assholedom. Also, second moral of the story, use your privilege to challenge the overprivileged, don't abuse it. Privilege is only bad when used improperly.
