Oh doh yes I do! Once again I got tautonym and autonym mixed up. Autonym is within a species - like homo sapiens sapiens to distinguish from homo sapiens neanderthalensis.

Species named like this are called "autonymous". Like rattus rattus or puffinus puffinus.
The soup is a metaphor for bringing back a poet from the dead. Pretty obvious, right?
For some reason Dionysus is being coy about what he wants - I'd guess either for some cultural reasons, or just as a premise to set up some jokes about being hungry and horny.
This is from Aristophanes' Frogs, written and performed as the plague ravaged citizens of Athens hunkered behind their walls with Spartans terrorizing the Attic countryside.
So to help, Dionysus goes to hell to bring back a good poet to cheer people up. Because imagine trying to get through 2020 without TV.
There's a great line describing Aeschylus' sentences as great galumphing things with adjectives hanging off them like monstrous shaggy eyebrows.
According to someone who worked in marketing for pringles in taiwan, pringles consumers are more likely to be "type a" sorts - controlling, finicky, prefer heavily structured environments, highly value neatness, etc.
The musician I saw last week mentioned that he'll get more money if you buy a CD from him now than if you stream his catalog on spotify for the rest of your life.
It's not a question of "look[ing] like distancing or lack of empathy", or just "bitching about people in power".
Scientific studies that look at your brain itself - not your behavior - show that as people get more power the brain's empathy centers become suppressed and you are chemically less capable of being a good person.
Exactly. Trump doesn't have any policy goals, he couldn't care about any of that.
Trump's only wants are his base emotional needs: eat a hamburder, grope an unwilling child, be complimented, see others suffer. Anything more sophisticated than that is being done for someone who's giving him burders, babes or bribes.
There are many contributing factors. Part of it is russian and american oligarchs spending heaps of cash to amplify any and every message that could help trump win.
The fact that power results in antisocial behavior has been understood for millenia.
Lots of societies have had cultural infrastructure of equality that attempts to mitigate this weakness in our biology and prevent harmful levels of power accumulation. The basque village layouts that Davids Graeber & Wengrove talk about, or the practise of 'insulting the meat' of successful hunters.
My parents have always referred to each other as their partner, so that's what I've always done. It's just normal.
Since moving to the US people get so weird about it. I had a boss's boss ask me why I call my wife my partner in a skip-level. I was so confused I just stared at her and said "What?" It was like being ask why I think oranges are citrus fruit.
That picture of Riker makes me want a TNG remake in the style of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace with Riker played by Matt Berry.
