I'm reading The Baffler which quotes a Harper article as "noting David Foster Wallace’s infatuation with John McCain’s neocon bomb-everything agenda;" it's been a while since I read it and I remember being, uh, baffled, but surely this is exaggerated? Thoughts, @CHRISF0GLE?
Do you think Signifying Rappers is worth reading, @CHRISF0GLE ?
I have a copy, just haven't gotten around to it.

It took quite a while, but it finally arrived: Context collapse by @_ryanruby_ ! Enough of the anticipation.
Es gibt nicht zuletzt in Social Media starke, ostdeutsche Widerrede gegen diese Osttümelei, aber deren Unermüdlichkeit und im Ukrainekrieg offenbar erstarkten Anziehungskraft können wirklich ratlos machen. Eine Operation Silberlocke der nochmal leicht anderen Art.

Quite a few people are puzzled when confronted with the stereotype of Scottish stinginess which was for the longest time a staple of German humor:
Very true, my Scottish mother was confronted with this in the 70s already. Low point was a store proclaiming "Englischer Tweed zu schottischen Preisen"; it was Harris tweed! I suffered through many, many Schottenwitze in school; not so much in this century.

In case you haven't seen this yet, @A_Luckmann, not as groundbreaking as other examples, yet I grew fond of this church in Bonn-Lannesdorf in 2020:
