Bohemian Rhapsody

Can’t stand it.

“The [gentleman] doth protest too much, methinks.” (Also Hamlet.)

Let’s see. Hamlet was written *checks notes* sometime between 1599 and 1601.

Look, I thought it was “to the manor born,” too, but I looked it up, and “to the manner born” isn’t incorrect.

HAMLET The King doth wake tonight and takes his rouse,
Keeps wassail, and the swagg’ring upspring reels;
And, as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down,
The kettledrum and trumpet thus bray out
The triumph of his pledge.
HORATIO Is it a custom?
HAMLET Ay, marry, is ’t, etc.

LOL no

Thank you.

Hamlet, Act I, Scene 4: “Though I am native here, And to the manner born,—it is a custom more honour’d in the breach than the observance.”

WASP is right out, though.

Yeah, they did get that bit right: “Though I am native here, And to the manner born,—it is a custom more honour’d in the breach than the observance.” — Hamlet, Act I, Scene 4

This, at least, they got right: “Though I am native here, And to the manner born,—it is a custom more honour’d in the breach than the observance.” — Hamlet, Act I, Scene 4

JFK Jr. was no WASP, though.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

Just asking questions.
