It's a Bird! It's a Plane! NO! It's a SUPER AD!

Share an image of a sign/ad with a key concept in action. You heard it here first folks! The Amazing SUPERMAN in PRINT! Hear of his greatest exploits and his most dastardly villains!

Ahh, the 1960's. I remember it well. It was several decades before I was born and DC Comics were coming in HOT with Superman! The key concept here may not be very identifiable at a glance, but with the aid of Superman's X-RAY VISION, I'll shed some illumination! The concept I'm highlighting here is audience, and for a big reason.

When you think of advertisements, what do you think they are trying to promote? "Hey, I know you're having fun over here, but we paid the service you're on to tell you about our product that we have over here!" It's usually advertisers pointing to their product through other products. You see it in baseball stadiums telling you to get Geico, you see it on billboards telling you to read a bible or you'll combust, you see it on YouTube telling you to shop at Temu or vote one way or another (election season amirite?). But one ad that you might not think about are the HOUSE ADS! Out of all the advertisements, I, personally, find them to be the most wholesome. House ads are advertisements that promote internally. That is to say ads that promote themselves. In comics, you'll see regular ads for shaving products or even Geico again? Are you kidding me, how are you everywhere? But when making comics, the editors will intentionally leave blank space to put those pesky little Geico ads in there. But, occasionally, there will be spaces that aren't filled by Geico and nobody is paying for ads there. So they will do some self-promotion! This has two big purposes. One is obviously is to fill up ad space since they can't just have a blank page, but the other purpose is to get the audience excited and wanting to learn more about other series that they are putting out. So it gets consumers interested in other products that they are selling. And since they're already reading comics that they bought, they're more likely to give the advertisement a try as it is typically more of similar products or content. Who better knows their audience than the people who already have them hooked?

(Heya, I got a lot of info, as well as the Superman image from author Dan Greenfield at this link. I wasn't alive at the time of the ads posting, but it is fun to learn about them from the perspective of people who were around at the time! Give it a read, it's really interesting looking back through time!) Source: https://13thdimension.com/paul-kupperberg-my-13-favorite-1960s-dc-comics-house-ads/

Do you have more Moby Dick: Modern Translation chapters anywhere that certain interested parties (me and everyone with taste) could read?

In reference to this translation of Moby Dick into insufferable modern idiom, in which Ishmael is suddenly shown up in a startling light as a person we’ve actually met and knew well but didn’t really like:

I’m sorry, I haven’t written any more of that! After chapter 1’s mad rush of energy, the book tackles more tricky, boring and unfunny content, including passages that are just uncomfortably problematic in any time; and, like, entire chapters about listening to a church sermon.

A line translation (and that is mostly a very faithful line translation! The only thing I regret not doing was perfectly capturing the fart joke!) apparently has a lot of educational value, and helps to reframe the whole novel. That’s worthy work! But i simply wouldn’t want to do a line translation on the next few chapters. My brain is picking daisies instead, already. I would say: “sorry, I’m abridging this for my own mental health. You’re eligible for a free refund.” In which case the educational value is negligible (you can just read the plot summary online. There’s a really big whale in it.)

Anyone else who wants to take a stab at it (FROM HELL’S HEART) would be welcome and I’ll gladly promote your efforts. It’s just. I am going

Anyway a very vital tumblr skill is getting a few lines into the post, sensing Tomfoolery on the wind, and suppressing your curiosity enough to scroll without looking. "Wow, this person is about to talk about my least favorite topic!" *scroll*. Or: "Wow, this is the start of a really bad take!" *scroll*.

The nuclear option is blacklisting a tag or unfollowing someone, but getting into the topic at all can be avoided. You don't have to make an argument with someone you don't need to engage with. You don't have to correct them. Scroll. Find inner peace. Don't give them attention or a larger audience if you don't want to support them.

One day, you will reach posting nirvana, and never find out about others' bad takes ever again.

12 reasons for not giving in your homework, by the marauders:

james- my dog ate it

remus- i had the flu, but could i please get an extension?

peter- wilkes stole it and used incendio on it, don't you think he should be punished, not me?

sirius- my deer ate it

james- sorry, professor but quidditch comes first

remus- i had mumblemumps, but could i please get an extension?

peter- professor dumbledore said i don't have to do homework on account of my homeworkitis. that's a real thing, i swear

sirius- i didn't want to do it

james- i did go the library to work on it but evans was only a table away and she had her hair in that half up half down way- y'know the one- and it's just hard to concentrate in that environment, Professor. I'm sure you understand, you must have a partner yourself. No I'm not flirting with you, it's just an observation!

remus- i had a migraine, but could i please get an extension?

peter- this is an, honest to merlin, true story professor. so there was this ogre by the lake the other day...

sirius- i did it but in charms this morning, we wanted to make spitballs so it was for the greater good, i mean i got snivellus right in the eye

it is actually absurd to me how much they push getting enough sleep as the answer to all your problems in BASICALLY every academic setting and then you talk to the teachers and they've all somehow teamed up to make it so that you have 5 assignments due on the same day. and for some reason its your fault for not time managing better
