I can still recite a poem in lapine, the made-up rabbit language, from reading Watership Down one time in 9th grade.
hoi hoi, u embleer hrair
m'saion ule hraka vair

hoi hoi, the stinking thousand
we meet them even when we stop to pass our droppings

(forgive me if I've borked the spelling)
I can even still tell you what it means!

The Thousand was the collective name for the various enemies of rabbits. Rabbit religion was designed around the experience of being prey: Any animal that might eat or harm a rabbit was part of The Thousand.
So the poem was a statement of fact that, for a rabbit, you're never safe, not even when you're taking a shit.

"hrair" was The Thousand and "hraka" was droppings
What a weird book.

Against my better judgment, I'm going to weigh in on Louis CK.

CW: physical and sexual abuse.
There are two easy responses to CK's complaint that today's young are boring because their idea of rebellion is talking about pronouns.
First: I understand, to your generation, that Millennials are forever seventeen, but most of the people talking about pronouns are in their twenties and thirties, and they aged INTO it, you has-been.

This is why I don't title videos "Has Cultivation Theory Been Disproven?" and suchlike. More people will see the title than will hear the argument and come away thinking the wrong thing.
Framing your argument such that it will be properly understood is often at cross purposes to how The Algorithm wants it phrased, which will be covered in a future video.

Innuendo Studios Year in Review:
This year I had a video break 1 million views for the first time. Just this morning, another video did as well. A third is on track to break a mill in Q1 2019.
My channel broke 100,000 subscribers.

In fact, I did the math and gained roughly 70,000 subs this year, which is about the same as my entire career to this point.

So in 2018 I doubled my sub count.

In 2008, I worked as a PR and marketing executive at an event and image consulting company in VI and I was treated well. But I wanted more. I wanted a bigger challenge so I told Kely dear friend and inspiration @iamtheOsagie #10YearsALearner #10YAL

O: Hey Godwin. Are you still bored?
Me: lol… You have something for me?
O: Would you like to manage an artist?

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Omega prince Jimin is the prettiest omega in royalty who has tons of suitors, but none have managed to steal his heart.

His personal body guard, Alpha Min Yoongi has one motto :

"If they want to get the fairest, they have to go through the fiercest."

"YOOOOOONGIIIIIII-" Jimin grinned when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps came nearer and nearer.

An alpha in his usual dark suit appeared in the doorway of Jimin's grand luxurious room. "WHAT- WHO- DID SOMEBODY HURT YOU?" He was almost out of breath since he

1) I'm not sure how to make people remember or care that 15 years ago the United States invaded Iraq, setting off a war that continues to this day, with several hundred thousand Iraqis dead, millions turned into refugees. I covered the invasion for the New York Times Magazine.
2) Though I'm a writer, I shot photos during the invasion as I drove a rented Hyundai SUV from Kuwait into Iraq via Safwan, then up the spine of the country to Nasiriya, Diwaniya, Hilla, Kut and finally Baghdad. Here's the Hyundai on March 19, 2003. It's clean--that will change
3) The photographer I worked with, Laurent vander Stockt, drove his own SUV. After several failed attempts to get into Iraq, one time turned back at gunpoint by U.S. soldiers, we finally got through, via what we guessed was a minefield (I followed Lauren tracks). Here's Laurent.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
