Stick with it: it grows in strength as he goes along.

I’m sure someone more eloquent than me has pointed out all the funny ways in which ALIEN VS PREDATOR and PROMETHEUS are so very similar including but not limited to both having Peter Weyland give part of the big exposition speech to the crew...

Been saying “Read more” links are an accessibility no-no since the 1990s and still find myself having to tell folks like it’s news.

I respect the hell outta Bouie—he’s hands-down the NYT most thoughtful and relevant ed board member—but this is too funny that he stumbles upon Du Bois lashing out at the “copperhead” NYT a century ago. #themorethingschange www.instagram.com/reel/DKxRPp1...

![Text from the page of a book which reads: "Instead of being confronted by a united authority with intelligent plans for defense, it [the plague] found divided forces among which the question of its presence became the subject of factional dispute. There was often popular hostility to the work of the sanitarians, and war among the City, State, and Federal health authorities.
"The report details the extraordinary lengths to which Mayor Eugene Schmitz went while in office to cover up the presence of bubonic plague in the city."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2qazddoxfxgt6ag65p7homdp/bafkreigoff72ix6easobz7cj7cvmvp43lvmykpynwp7d2iwz7azhktazri)

From the 1971 book "The San Francisco Earthquake" by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan Witts. Sound familiar? #TheMoreThingsChange

Antinous. Lover of Emperor Hadrian. He died in Egypt and was deified by the Egyptian priests. Apparently to kiss up to Hadrian.
That kind of blatant sycophantism could never happen today, could it?

In the "The more things change..." department, here are some illustrations from Puck magazine in the 1880s that look all too familiar 140 years later. More in comments. If any @askhistorians.bsky.social would like to add context to these, it would be welcome.

An 80 year old cartoon showing a room with 5 tables. Four are labelled Education, Sciences, Arts, and Healthcare and each has one person at the table, holding an empty plate. The fifth is labelled "War" and is surrounded by waiters rushing to drop money on the table.
Plus ça change...

2025 and the 90s message still hasn't landed: 'The Drugs Don't Work!' Big Pharma's "help"? 🤔 More like addiction and lifetime clients. Covid, "trans-fake" issues... same song, different verse. #BigPharmaFail #TheMoreThingsChange #DrugAddiction #WakeUp

excerpt from Navalny memoir: "And then into my life came TikTok. Skimming through it, I sometimes feel ashamed for the whole of humanity. But it works! That is where loads of viewers get their news about politics. So now there are times when I dance and event open my mouth (pretending to sing) to music. True, I often grumble like an old granddad about the good old days, when people read books, but nevertheless I make videos on TikTok." followed by an anecdote about posting pictures of what you eat to Twitter.
from Navalny, Alexei. Patriot: A Memoir. Alfred A. Knopf, 2024. Chapter 16.

Screenshot of a post that reads as follows: DH: I promise, one day when you're big enough I'll take you to Germany and we can ride the big waterside there. 5 yo: Okay. Remind me to learn to speak German by then.
Memory from 2019. 5 yo is now 11 and started German this year. But not for the waterslides. To understand Princess Bubblegum when she speaks German.
