Leo: does anyone speak French?
Esther: a bit
Also Esther: [proceeds to speak French like a native]
#Tatort Saarbrücken#Spatort#Esther Baumann#Leo Hölzer#Der Herr des Waldes#still not over it#the way she says it#ein bisschen#like girl#are you kidding me#there's modesty and then there's you#but hey#the actress is from Luxembourg#it makes sense that she would be fluent in both German and French#so glad they are using her language skills here#I still think more characters in Spatort should be fluent in French#come on people you live closer to France than to Berlin#usually regions near the border have a long tradition of bilingualism#then again#it was fun to see Pia's face when Esther speaks French#for that alone#I might be glad that the other 3 detectives in the team don't know a word of it#my post

Do you think that people who invent things with very destructive consequences are blinded to the downsides of it more by money or more by scientific curiosity?
I think the downsides are not always immediately obvious. Coal-fired electricity looks a lot more attractive in 1882 when there's literally only one such power plant and the global population is like 18% its present value. TNT was invented as a yellow dye, and it's so stable its usefulness as an explosive wasn't discovered until thirty years later.
We have this collective mental image, promoted by simplifications of historical narratives, that the inventor is a lone genius who through his labor produces an artifact and all its consequences in a single moment in time, and without which the thing would never be invented. Pretty much every point in that narrative is wrong. New technologies are the culmination of many different discoveries; there are enough very smart people working at the cutting edge of these fields that if one of them did not discover the principles behind these inventions, another almost certainly would sooner or later; and the exact applications of new technologies, nevermind how they will change society when those applications are utilized, often take years or decades to discover.
Now, I think there is an extent to which, as a working scientists, you can reasonably be held to account for the work you do. If you work at the Acme National Horrible Death By Chemical Weapons Laboratory, and invent a new, horrible chemical weapon, you do not get to go "oh no!" in shock when somebody dies to your horrible chemical weapon. And sometimes scientists do have a pretty good idea of how their technology will be used--the Haber Process was originally invented to manufacture fertilizers, but its application to the manufacturing of explosives was pretty clear to Fritz Haber, and he joined the German effort to develop deadlier chemical weapons pretty enthusiastically.
Men like Haber seem historically to be motivated not by intrinsic greed, but by the things which motivate us all: the desire to provide for their loved ones, the approval of their peers and the respect of their colleagues, and their status in society. The problem with respect to scientists who know damn well what they're doing isn't that everybody working at the Acme National Horrible Death By Chemical Weapons Laboratory is greedy and the job pays too much; the problem is that society, by and large, respects you and looks up to you and fetes you at public events and talks about what a patriot and a community leader you are if you do really well at inventing new, horrible chemical weapons.
#i knew a guy in university who said he would have no problem working for weapons r&d#because it's not the designers of the weapons who decide how they're used#and there was a valid point there:#shaking your finger at fritz haber only absolves the german general staff of the decision to use the weapon#or the kaiser of the decision to wage war#of all the people involved in the chain of events leading to chlorine gas in the trenches of the western front#fritz haber was probably the most generic#in the sense that if you went back in time and killed him in 1915 probably nothing significant would change#i think it's a little too pat to say the person designing the horrible chemical weapon has *no* responsibility#i certainly would find the idea of trying to figure out new ways to kill people extremely morally unpleasant#but without the military and political will to use those weapons#they just sit on shelves until they stop working

„Donald Trump won the election. That’s what we congratulate him on.“
~ Annalena Baerbock, German Foreign Minister
Yes, we do appear rude and dismissive at times and are said to lack any kind of humor but boy (!) that was cold even for us. Lieb‘s.

Honestly kinda weird what an almost 60 year period of de facto de-christianization in a language and culture otherwise steeped in centuries of Christianity does to a mf.
Like ur always referring to some dude when you swear and curse but you bet your ass most of the ppl around you have never seen a church from the inside unless they took a tour to look at the colorful altars and architecture. It's just history to you. Pretty buildings etc. You don't spare a single thought towards Jesus bc his birthday isn't named after him in your language and his resurrection is linked to pre-Christian traditions that are way more fun than going to church. You forget he exists. You celebrate his days either way, but all of that happens in the shadow of the gods he replaced. God and Jesus are little more than expletives to you.
Still it feels like something was taken from you and you don't know what it is??
#uhhh#religion tw#???#i wanted to get this out bc easter is coming up and i keep getting this feeling of being bereft lol#east german stuff#or possibly eastern bloc stuff i honestly don't know how strong religious suppression was in the rest of the pact#my long winded way of saying that i mourn spiritual meaning 😔#it would fix me#(coping)

So one of the things I enjoy when I do deep dives on characters is checking what their names are in other languages. Sometimes the results are pretty meh/whatever (be it because it's the same name or otherwise), sometimes they're hilarious and sometimes there are some interesting ideas and implications.
Here's one for our darling and friend of the show, Cipher Admin Ein. [Tldr at the bottom]
In the German version of Pokémon Colosseum Ein is known as Professor Culpa. Aside from giving him a nice title that I'm sure he loves and implying an academic background (to the surprise of no one), culpa is Latin and means guilt, fault or blame.
It's also technically grammatically feminine, but hey, leave the poor man be.
This is, for lack of a better term, kind of deep if you consider how he's one of, if not the main culprit (pun intended) and brains behind the creation of Shadow Pokémon, with his research enabling what are considered to be quite horrific acts in-universe - from what Cipher does to Pokémon to the all the crimes they committed in Orre using Shadow Pokémon.
There is a bit of a spiritual and/or religious angle to it too. Some of you may be familiar with the Confiteor, one of the prayers of the Penitential Act in the Catholic Church, also used in the Lutheran and Anglican Church. It contains the following passage (translation below, emphasis mine):
Confiteor Deo omnipotenti, et vobis fratres [et sorores], quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, opere et omissione: mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers [and sisters], that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault.
Tldr: German Ein gets weirdly deep and is probably going to hell for his sins, especially since he's not sorry at all.
Sources: Bulbapedia, Pokewiki, Wikipedia

I'm always looking for an opportunity to say 'let's have a child together and ask it what it thinks' so far no good opportunity to use this phrase has been presented to me but I'm always on the lookout
#someone rbd the 'what language class did you take in school' poll where I states in the tags that I took english and french#*stated#and that I was great at english but sucked at french#from me and said they took english and german were good at english but sucked at german#and I WANTED to say 'I'm german and sucked at french you're french and sucked at german let's have a child together and ask it what it t#thinks' but I couldn't FIND any concrete evidence on that person's blog to confirm that they really ARE french#it would have been perfect. and potentially only funny to me. but funny nontheless

honestly, I feel like Dave McKean's work elevated Neil Gaiman way more than the other way around and we don't distribute credit for that properly. I truly don't think--and, critically, never have thought--the early Sandman writing was so good that it would have gotten far without the heavy hitting art lending it such an air of respectability. McKean's work is so visually distinct still, let alone 20 years ago, let alone 30. "This is serious art for serious stories for serious people," those mixed media paintings say when they're surrounded by pen and ink put out on a brutal schedule. "I am a serious person with sophisticated tastes," the buyer says, given permission to be pretentious and smug as hell, which is very alluring to many people.
#and given that perky goth girl Death was designed by Mike Dringenberg--like. c'mon now y'all. how much did Neil really innovate?#i mean i say this partially from a place of envy deep down i'm sure#i would love for a serious artist to come along and solve all my design and presentation problems#if you're out there: i will love you and cherish you bb and also pay you on time i promise#btw this is not “a person is knocked off their pedestal therefore we retcon their art as mediocre”#this is “i have been a hater since 2005 and only now feel I can open my big mouth about it”#what happened in 2005? Anansi Boys.#OooOoohh look at me i'm a British man who thinks I understand African and diaspora and Caribbean myth as well as I do Germanic and Norse#my partially Caribbean ass who grew up w Anansi stories for complicated diaspora reasons (via my nanny): what the fuck is this??? WHAT?

second installment in the "thoughts on all the in-universe movies and shows that would get made based on Steve Rogers' life" series (which absolutely nobody asked for, but I'm sharing it anyway): at least one of the Howling Commandos era movie trailers is without a doubt 100000% set to some version of Karel Gott's Rot und Schwarz/Paint It Black cover
#am I saying this just because I personally would like to see that? yes.#was this inspired by remembering that one very forgettable german inglorious basterds-esque ww2 netflix movie? also yes.#does that make it less objectively thematically appropriate and also a fucking banger of a cover? no it does not.#also it doubles as a love song (or at least more than the original paint it black) which. I mean come on.#max.txt#howling commandos#I guess?
