These guys seem very serious and meaningful but I can’t get over how their differently spelled but identically pronounced names seem to evoke Herge’s Thomson and Thompson. Even their special traits-- being masters of disguise, and actual twin brothers (and generally useful?) are sort of the inverse of the Tintin characters.

Anyways, what I’m saying is that if the new Bleach series had omakes we would have gotten at least one with these two saying “to be precise...”

Heyyy... We have a Dream introject coming out of dormancy and.. we'd like to request names and icons for them? If that okay? We honestly don't know if they're a factive or fictive but I think they'd like a sort of forest-y, maybe punk type theme for icons? And just any masc or andro names for a Dream, since we're not sure?

I understand if you decide to deny this request though, so no pressure. /gen

fine morning out at 8 about at the Lodge – breakfast at 9 to 10 – out again about – at the meer till 10 ¾ - then had Mr. Mercer (Robert) gave him a check dated Monday for £80 in a/c of the glazering at Northgate – all done, but the great room – off with A- (both walked) to H-x at 11 ½ (Mercer having staid near ½ hour after I had paid him) – if there should be an election now, thinks we can not bring in Mr. Wortley – M- is a staunch blue – great pity that Mr. James Norris got into such disgrace about the late contest for the west Riding – there ought not to have been a contest – Mr. Wortley (John) had no chance – there would not have been a contest but for Mr. James Norris – who said he could poll more thousands in this district than he polled hundreds – had Mrs. widow Hall of late little marsh to give up the key of the house – told her to give it up to Womersley – off with A- at 11 ½ down the old bank left her at Whitley’s and went to Mr. Parker’s office – 20 minutes there with Mr. Adam – explained about Aquilla Green, that I had seen him, and what had passed yesterday evening – Mr. A- to write a safe notice so that if the mill is given up, I shall be as safe as to damages as possible – but told A- that if it should be satisfactory shewn that there really was water enough, I saw the disappointment in giving the mill up would be so great to AG- that I thought I should build it – I was anxious to do what was honourable and right – A- asked if I had got his letter respecting the Bailey hall land – no! would call for it (which I afterwards did) at the Post office – the right of road from church lane to the canal wharf (free of paying anything towards repairs or anything else) seems clear – but the Bailey hall land 6 yards and more above the level of the wharf – better built on the present level of the Bailey hall land, and have a road thro’ the premises now occupied by Patterson – asked A- if, supposing my remittances did not arrive in time for money, my deferring the payment of one thousand till the end of the week could be managed – yes! – as soon as I got the money P. and A- would be glad of the £500 advanced to Nelson – P- and A- one thousand overdraw at the bank yes! they shall have the £500 immediately that I can pay it, as also the amount of the bill due from A- and myself for the law expense – then to the bank – said I expected the fifteen thousand or at least 7 or 8 thousand would be paid into their branch bank at York on Saturday but I was not yet advised of it – I would let Mr. Mackean know the moment I heard of it – if I heard in time, a draught for £1016+ would be presented for payment on Monday – if not, I would take some steps about it so as to prevent its presentation till the money was paid in on my account – but that I had just given a check to Mercer the glazier for £80 which I should be obliged to the bank to pay on Monday at all rates, as also to let me have £50 or £60 or what I might send for on Saturday – oh! yes! said Mr. Davidson – McK- from home – then got my letter or note from Mr. A- at the P.O. and then went for A- (had left her about 35 minutes) – found her at Nicholson’s – sometime there – Mrs. Waterhouse came up and spoke to us – Mr. R- of Stony Royde quite well again – I might see her anything from 10 to 1 ½ her dinner hour – Mrs. W- talked of calling at Shibden hall soon – walked slowly back with A- up the old bank home at 2 25 – with Booth the mason about windows for the new (2nd new) coach house – and wet with Joseph Mann to the wheel-race – the water (only the Spiggs water or its equivalent) running thro’ the meer-drift – must be turned off by tomorrow morning (before Charles Howarth goes to bed tonight) for the meer to finish puddling about the meer-drift head – and because I see we should not have it in the wheel-race till the bottom is flagged and made water tight – as Holt and the Manns always said the water would, so it does boil up in the Engine pit, thro’ the looseness of the measures and the nearness of the pit to the wheel-race, so that we should have nearly the whole meer to pump if the wheel-race bottom could be made water-tight – Charles H- (too clear-headed to be always disregarded in these matter) does not like Mr. Husbands’ plan of the gearing of the wheel – thinks Bates’s plan and the long beams and the engine pit far enough off would have been cheaper and better! I only hope all this is not true, and that Holt will not be right in thinking we shall have a new engine-pit to sink after all – went down to Mrs. Aquilla Green – sent her off (at 3 40) to H-x to tell her husband the water was let into the wheel-race, and that he had best come and see it if he could – then at the meer-drift head – walked round the meer – musing about a boat-house and a cottage somewhere (where? just over the clow? or near and below the old useless clow-house opening into Pearson’s field and out of sight? for conservator (concierge) of the clow meer, and boat etc then with Mark Hepworth who has been here all day carting manure (brought the large stone to hang over the meer-drift head this morning and brought Joseph Mann a couple of loads of clay for puddling here at the meer or at the Little field cistern) – Mark’s broad wheeled cart and my own carted loads [dung] good old and rotten, on to what used to be the calf croft the low end and along the Hall wood side – Robert Mann helping to fill the carts and his 3 men spreading the manure – came in at 6 50 just before A- returned from Cliff Hill to where she set off on her pony soon after 3 pm – dressed – dinner at 7 10 – tea – read the newspaper – A- very much tired – came up to bed at 9 ¾ at which  hour F42° - fine day – not much sun – if there are a few gloomy days and a little rain I shall have been lucky about my manure carting out

1/4 hour in the stable and about – Reading some detached pieces in “a help to elocution” a 12mo [duodecimo] volume of mine that was my first aunt Lister’s vide page 306 et sequentes very good “on convenversation” –

From 8 1/4 to 9 1/2, just looking at Samouelle page 44 the seven Linnæn orders and examining their etymologies in my Greek lexicon, and then turned to my little “Dictionary of natural history” 18mo [octodecimo] London 1815 and reading over the 28 pages (introductory) of Definitions – vide page 12 the 7 Linnæan orders of insects –

Wrote the above of this morning and went down to breakfast at 9 40/60 – At 10 1/2 drove my aunt to Northgate where we staid some time (a while strap was mending at Furnishs’s) called at Whitley’s, then left my aunt, and called at the Saltmarshes – Mrs. R– [Rawson] of Stony Royde came in for a few minutes – and Mr. C[hristopher] Saltmarshe –

Sat altogether 35 minutes with E[mma] S[altmarshe] – (from 11 25/60 to 12) – My aunt then stopt called for me (did not get out) in the gig, I drove her to King X [cross], then turned down by Saville hill, and Shay, and drove along the skircoat green road on to and round the moor, returned by Saville hill and North parade and got home at 1 1/2 –

Having met Mr. W[illiam] Priestley’s servant, desired him to tell his mistress I would drink tea with her this afternoon – In the stable from 1 1/2 to 2 3/4, and then came upstairs – Wrote the last 5 lines – Looking into my “dictionary of natural history” – vide page 18 definitions “Female” . . . . . “a being generating within itself, receiving its name from thence in contradiction from the male, who engenders in another” –

Sent George this morning with my card to Miss Pickford having written on it, that I was going to drink tea at Lightcliffe this evening, and not to run any risk of not being at home a 2nd evening when she came and begged she we might see her tomorrow or Sunday or Monday –

The S– [Saltmarshe]s shewed me a large (15 guinea size) excellent, and most pleasing likeness of their mother Mrs. Saltmarshe, done by Freeman, an American artist, from New York also a most striking (tho’ not quite so pleasing because too entirely a front view of the face) likeness of Mrs. Rawson of Stony Royde, the same size as the other – I wish M– [Mariana] could sit to this artist – He is still in H–x [Halifax], but going to Manchester, thence to London –

From 4 1/4 to 4 3/4 just skimmed over from page 74 to 117 Samouelle’s Entomology – Dined at 5 – At 6 25/60 put Percy in the gig, and drove to Lightcliffe – Mr. W[illiam] P– [Priestley] not at home – Spent a pleasant evening – Got there at 7, came away at 9 39/60 and got home at 10 5/60 – Very confidential sort of conversation. 

Speaking of my father, said I had never taken a meal at Northgate since he lived there. That he spoke very provincially and my manner shewed that I thought him vulger. Speaking of our using a metal teapot. She said ours was the last house where she would have expected this sort of thing. She always fancied we had everything quite proper. I said my au[n]t would keep a house of mine very differently from one of my uncle’s. He was very amiable, but sometimes a little nattering and required some management. ‘Ah,’ said she. ‘How little one knows people.’ 

She told me of a speech I had made to her some years ago, namely that she was unsuited to the society here from alffa to omega, which she had then taken to mean that I wondered at her marrying Mr. Priestley. I explained this away but said honestly I was surprised at her marrying anyone so soon after her attachment to her cousin at Leeds etc. The world said she had jilted him etc. etc. She explained it had cost her a great deal, perhaps all her present ill health, but they understood one another. 

If he could have gone to India she would have been there now. Mr. Priestley knew all this. Her brother had told she refused him two or three times but he persevered. Her friends, her father wished her to marry him. At first she did not feel towards him as she ought, but she did. Now she was quite happy and persisted in insinuating that she now felt the same sort of feeling towards him, the same strength of regard she felt towards her first love. 

I said it was s[u]rely impossible, but she would have it so, and I said ‘well, if I must believe it I never was more astonished in my life.’ Knew the sort of disposition that would entirely suit her. It was not quite Mr. P[riestley]’s. She was capable off a greater degree of happiness.  No, she thought not –

Rain from about 11 1/2 to 2 1/2 afterwards fine afternoon and evening – E [three dots, treating venereal complaint] O [one dot, signifying little discharge] used only cold water – Came upstairs at 11

BOTTOMS UP

April 13, 1934

Directed by David Butler 

Produced by Buddy G. DeSylva for 20th Century-Fox

Written by David Butler, Buddy G. DeSylva, and Sid Silvers

Choreography by Harold Hecht

Synopsis ~ Spencer Tracy stars as fast-buck promoter Smoothie King. Our hero's latest scam is to pass off Hollywood extra Wanda Gale (Pat Patterson) and forger Limey Brook (Herbert Mundin) as British nobility, getting both of them prestigious jobs at a movie studio. Eventually Wanda becomes a big star, falling out of love with Smoothie along the way in favor of her leading man Hal Reed (John Boles). But Smoothie takes it all in stride; after all, there's still a world full of chumps and suckers, ripe for fleecing.

CAST 

Spencer Tracy (’Smoothie’ King) won two Oscars and was nominated seven other times in his long career. This is his only musical.  He also appeared with Lucille Ball in Without Love (1945). 

John Boles (Hal Reed) also did Thousands Cheer (1943) with Lucille Ball).

Pat Paterson (Wanda Gale) was married to Charles Boyer. This is her only film with Lucille Ball. 

Herbert Mundin (Limey Brook) was an English-born actor making his only film with Lucille Ball. 

Sid Silvers (Spud Mosco) was also the co-writer of this film. This is his only movie with Lucille Ball. 

Harry Green (Louis Baer) makes his only film with Lucille Ball. 

Thelma Todd (Judith Marlowe)  was known as ‘The Ice Cream Blonde' and ‘Hot Toddy'. This is her only film with Lucille Ball. 

Robert E. O'Connor (Detective Rooney) went on to do five more films with Lucille Ball. 

Dell Henderson (Lane Worthing) went on to do five more films with Lucille Ball. 

Suzanne Kaaren (Secretary) makes her only screen appearance with Lucy. 

Douglas Wood (Baldwin) also appeared with Lucille Ball in Her Husband’s Affairs (1947). 

UNCREDITED CAST 

Lucille Ball* (Chorine) makes her eighth film since coming to Hollywood in 1933. 

Barbara Pepper* (Chorine) made six films with Lucille Ball, including her Lucy’s first, Roman Scandals (1933). The two became friends, and she was one of the first people Lucille Ball wanted for the role of Ethel Mertz after Bea Benadaret passed. Pepper’s drinking made her a risk for the network and sponsor, but she went on to make ten appearances on “I Love Lucy”.

Lucille Ball was paid $75 dollars a week when she was loaned out to Fox by RKO to make this film. She appears in the song “Waitin’ at the Gate for Katy.”

The film received a favorable review from The New York Times critic Mordaunt Hall, who called it "a neat, carefree piece of work, which is helped greatly by Spencer Tracy, Pat Paterson, an English actress who here makes her American picture bow; Herbert Mundin, Harry Green, and, to a lesser extent, by John Boles" and noted that it "has its full share of honest humor and also several tuneful songs." Nonetheless, it was a box office disappointment for Fox.

[wrotetheaboveoftoday]

1828 Fri. 5 September

5 25/60 11 10/60 hour talking to John in the courtyard - dressed and out at 6 40/60 - down the old bank and got to Stony Royde in 20 minutes - Mrs. R- [Rawson] would not be down of 20 minutes said I would return to breakfast - walked about (towards Siddall and up the hill towards Southowram) for 25 minutes, and then went in to breakfast - very glad to see me - sat talking very cozily - somehow got upon people’s being odd - I said almost every one was one 1 way or other - all Mrs. R- [Rawson]’s daughters more or less odd and 1 or 2 of her sons at least

My father odd and my sister and myself  Mrs. R [Rawson] said my mother was odd, yes, but said I there was much to be said for, then told how my father would say very well please yourself and let her fancy she might do a thing and she might not  [she] once almost take a house to please herself and then said she might go but he never said he would  I had heard him say about some cupboards at Skelfler oh let plan if she can please herself that way I’ll not have it done - Told how he had once said I might order John the footboy’s clothes and then how he immediately without my knowing set all aside and that I had quietly said I would never from that time have anything to do with his establishment nor ever sit at the head of his table, Marian always to do that and I had been as good as my word tho it was fourteen years ago

Then mentioned, always adding but this is quite between ourselves, how he had behave[d] just lately about my building at the cunnery  I was to do whatever I liked best he was best satisfied when I was well to be sure Mrs. R [Rawson] should have this plain enough but indeed there was no knowing people  Something was afterwards ssaid about Marian’s ssacrificing ever[y]thing  I said she would never be happier but we were all three unlike I had more than once said to her that I had more influence with every friend I had than with her my sister  Mrs. R [Rawson] thought all I said must be gospel to Marian but all that accounted for my being so little at home  She had often heard it named one tale was good till another was told

She said Mrs. Empson was coming to her  Ah, said I, that quarrel was a foolish business the apology was ample but the ‘recall’ was indispensable which ‘recall’ simply meant that she believed herself mistaken in supposing me to have prevaricated  Mrs. R [Rawson] said she had never wished to have anything to do with it between Ellen and one whom she so much esteemed and respected as myself  Well said you are right what I say is without any particular object for I am going away and may be I know not how long away  It is immaterial to me now and if we were to meet I might feel less awkward than Mrs. E [Empson] I could seem to the world as if nothing particular had happened at least no stranger could observe it

I sauntered in the garden 10 minutes or 1/4 hour to leave Mrs. R- [Rawson] to herself - talking to the gardener about bringing up a boy to be a gardener - Boys of 15 were apprenticed to gentlemen’s head gardeners, and, if the gardener left his place, his apprentices were turned over to his successor - the master had nothing to do with it - it was the perquisite of the head gardener - a young man bound for 7 years paid 5 guineas - but better to change places, and see different ways, and in this case one who went to learn for 2 years in a place paid one shilling or 2 shillings per week to the head gardener - but the best way was to send a lad to a market gardener Throp for instance for 2 years to learn to dig etc and then let him be finished in gentlemen’s places and in London better than in Scotland - all the Scotch gardeners go to London - Throp would allow a young man (ætatis 15 to 16) from the 1st 3/. a week, and he must feed himself

Mrs. R- [Rawson] and I set off at 10 1/4 (our clocks 1/4 too soon) and walked to well head - Mrs. Frances W- [Waterhouse] went out as we went in - sat with Mrs. W- [Waterhouse] and her 2 eldest daughters 1/2 hour - she would have it the people thought I was married but did not know whether to a gentleman or lady  I turned it off in joke but I just whispered it matters not what you say to me but do you say such things as these before those girls?  She made no answer but seemed struck with the justice of my remark - we then walked to the Saltmarshes’, and I sat with with Emma S- [Saltmarshe] and aunt Catherine about 10 minutes and then took my leave - very little was ssaid to me not meant nor taken but I think it would strike Mrs. R [Rawson] and Emma agterwards  Mrs. R [Rawson] has always been and will be I think more than ever my [s]taunch friend

Left the S- [Saltmarshe]s’ at 11 then went and sat 1/2 hour with Mrs. V- [Veitch] returned up the old bank (told Mrs. V- [Veitch] Mrs. Prescotts’ not having had a scarf for my uncle was unintentional) and on getting home seeing John told him I had been thinking of his son - he had best, as he himself had said, make him a gardener - let him have plenty of scholarship - I would give John 50/. for this year’s schooling and pay for another year if necessary - then explained about Throp - said the lad might almost do for himself - but if he wanted help, I was steady, I would help him a little - poor John very thankful, and for his daughter Martha also who came on Wednesday night to be here during my stay to see what can be made of her - still continues going to Mrs. Priestley’s school the 3 first days of the week if my aunt does not object think of taking Martha to Paris

Came in at 12 1/2 - found Mrs. Abbott come to dinner - came upstairs and changed my dress on account of the damp, went down and talked to Mrs. A- [Abbot] above 1/2 hour, and then took Martha and went into the library - dusted and moved into the north room 3/4 of the books on account of Mallinson coming to take the hall-wall down on Monday - dusting and removing books till 6 or after - then went down and stayed talking in the drawing room - Mrs. A- [Abbott] came to walk back with her mother - wished good night (they went away almost immediately afterwards) mainly washed my hands, and sat down to dinner at 7 - came upstairs at 8 3/4 and from then to 9 50/60 wrote the whole of today - Mrs. R- [Rawson] of Stonyroyde sent Marian and to me also grapes this afternoon

Damp thick morning rather larger small rain from for the 20 minutes I walked about before breakfast and afterwards for some time - fair when we went to H-x [Halifax], and afterwards fine day - very fine evening - went down stairs at 9 50/60 and came up again at 10 1/4 - Mrs. R said this morning she had heard from several they all dreaded my father at turnpike meeting he was sso prosing and so deaf ah they if he was going they should never have done  Told her of the probable shyness there would be between Crownest and Shibden - John W she said very stingy -

BLEACH - Sternritter Schrift

The Viability (ザ·バイアビリチ → Za Baiabirichi)

生存能力 = 生存 → “Existance”/”Survival,” 能力 → “Ability”/”Faculty”/”Capacity”

This was the eventual explanation of Shaz Domino’s The V power, given to him by Gremmy as one of his creations.  But it’s ability basically granted him the power to survive without Gremmy’s direct influence, and it gave way to another new power, which I’ll get to at the end of this...

This wasn't technically the doing of Kubo, this was something Ryohgo Narita in the short story Beginning of the Revive of Tomorrow, in the 13 BLADEs bata book.  But he does tend to play ball with Kubo’s overall style and sensibilities pretty well. (although not always)

The Wind (ザ・ワインド → Za Wain’do)

紆余曲折 =  紆 → “Roundabout,” 余 → “Too Much,” 曲折 → “Winding”/“Twisting & Turning”

Specifically there the modifying/modified pair is 紆余 → “Too Roundabout” as 余 is a suffix.

This one was actually one of my favorite Sternritter powers.  Even though it’s a pretty straight forward idea without much obtuse interpretation of boundaries to contend with, I liked how it affected the physical world in a seemingly nonsense way but via a very clear abstract concept: Make things twisted.  So the spacial warping was a lot of fun.  Shame Nianzol died so quickly.

The X-Axis (ジ・イクサクシス → Zi Ikusakushisu)

万物貫通 =  万物 → “All things” 貫通 → “Pierce”/“Penetrate”    

It weirds me out everytime i try to read it that Kubo mashed the phonetics of “X” and “Axis” together, because I feel like it should make more sense to pronounce/write more like イクス アクシス → ikusu-akushisu; emphasizing the “EX-AX...” and not sounding like “Exacts...”

Funny enough Kubo actually made a typo in the original magazine print that had to be fixed for the book release.  He wrote it as 石物貫通, 石 → “Stone” rather than 万 → “10,000”/”Myriad”/”All,” and in both cases 物 → “Thing(s).”

I really wonder if Kubo had this one in mind early on or if he had to come to the realization halfway into the arc that he had extremely limited options for X.  It’s actually a really cool idea for a power considering what he had to work with.

The Yourself (ジ・ユアセルフ → Zi Yuaserufu)

貴方自身 = 貴方 → “You,” 自身 → “One’s Self” 

Honestly given what an abstract and grammar specific concept this is you’d think there’d have been a more complicated wordplay to it or something, but no, it’s super super straight forward somehow.

Worth nothing, if it hadn’t already been super obvious, the brothers Loyd Lloyd and Royd Lloyd have perfectly identical names in Japanese, both:  ロイド・ロイド → Roido Roido, and when their back story comes up it has to be specified Rの ロイド・ロイド → “Roido Roido of R” and  Lの ロイド・ロイド → “Roido Roido of L.”

The Zombie (ザ・ゾンビ → Za Zon’bi)

死者 = “The Deceased“/”A Casualty“

Weirdly there’s no real word play here.  And Japanese has a LOT of words for dead bodies: 骸, 遺骸, 遺体, 死体, 死骸, 死人, 屍, 躯, 惨死体, and others...

and there’s even the word 生ける屍, which specifically means “Living Corpse”

Also no apparently nods to Kubo’s original serial manga, Zombie Powder, which seems a missed opportunity given how often he’d salvaged bits and pieces of that work in Bleach. (Gremmy Thoumeux’s outfit is reminicent of Ranewater Calder’s original appearance, and Robert Accutrone is just one of several C.T.Smith clones Kubo has running around Bleach.)

The ς: The Sigma (シグマ → Shiguma)

聖傷 =  聖 → “Holy”/”Divine”/”Saint” and 傷 → “Injury”/”Scar”/”Wound”

Another one by Narita for the same short story as the above.

Funny enough he botched this one up because the word he was looking for in English is “Stigma” which generally refers to a mark of shame or disgrace put upon a person by social conventions, but also more classically refers to Catholic belief in otherwise unexplained marks matching the placement of the wounds from the crucifixion left on the palms and feet of christ that appear on devout Christians as a kind of sign from god.  It’s taken from the Greek Stigmata(plural of stigma) στίγματα → “Marks”/”Spots”/”Brands.”

“Sigma” is just the Greek letter Σσ (ς final form) which has nothing to do with the word stigma.  The fact that Narita appeared to use ς instead of Σ (which would make more sense given the formatting of the rest of the Schrift) might have been a deliberate play on the term “Final form” used to denote that ς is only used when sigma is the final letter of a word.(and not upper case)

6 1/2

11 20/60

Taking inventory of letters – looking over the Northgate papers – breakfast at 10 20/60 – 

Another motion having had a little one before dressing – 

Came upstairs at 11 1/4 – 9 or 10 lines of note to Mrs Henry P- [Priestly] ‘my dear Mary’ etc. etc. merely to say I got home on Friday evening could not just now fix any day for hoping to find her at home, but merely wrote to inquire after them all, and hoped to have a line or 2 to say how they all were as soon as she had time and inclination – ‘my kind remembrances to the Edwards’s’ just as I had done this (about 11 1/2) Mr William Priestley called for near 1/2 hour – would have stayed longer but my father and Marian just setting off to Halifax Mrs William P- [Priestley] may return from London next week – with the Walkers with their aunt – 

Set off myself to Halifax at 12 10/60 – forgot the abstract of the purchase feed of church land at Northgate so had to turn back and this delayed me 1/4 hour – down the old bank to Halifax, saw my father in the town – went with him to Whitley’s – go to Taylor’s to order tin box for papers – the man not at home – then put into the post office, my note to ‘Mrs Henry Priestley, Houghend Halifax’ then to Mr Parker’s – leave with him the reconveyance of Northgate (from the mortgages to my uncle Joseph in 1810 – the mortgage deed itself also wanted – My father must sign the deeds of sale of the church land to shew that he has accepted what my uncle Lister left him in lieu of the annually of £50 a year from my uncle Joseph changed on his property – my aunt therefore should sign away her right to the money she had on the estate in lieu of which my uncle left her the navigation etc. – the deed of gift of her share of the Hampsted property should be registered – Middlesex - 

From Mr Parker’s went to Throp’s the gardener’s removed to the other side the way- [bespoke] [holliers] – then went  to Stony Royde – sat with Mrs R- [Rawson] or walked in the garden with her 2 hours – asked from some little favourite tree or shrub from Stony Royde to be planted here in remembrance of Mrs R- [Rawson] she shewed me the fine large walnut tree she had sown in a walnut – of an excellent thin-skimmed sort – to sow 2 or 3 walnuts this year in a flower pot and give me them to plant out here – asked for the receipt of the ‘Yorkshire wonderful’ the famous emmenagogue – not at liberty to give it – bound by a promise – but would leave it to one of her daughters – a 1/2 [const] for me to have the receipt from this daughter – the thing so simple, if the people knew it, they would have no faith – 

Mr William Rawson (in his 80th year) not likely to live many days – worn away – weaker and weaker but no pain – then went and sat 1 1/2 hour with Mrs Catherine Rawson – her faculties seem not so clear as formerly – more prosy like an old woman – 

Then at 5 40/60 went to Mrs Veitch’s – she just gone out and Marian, who had dined with her, gone home – came up the old bank – must as I have done before (the other day when there) on planting the Bairstow – 

Got home at 6 20/60 – Dinner immediately – mention the planting Bairstow my father seems so have no objection – says to plant young oaks, 2 in a square yard – would not take much fencing (walling) off – from about 9 to 10 reading the last [no] gentlemans magazine – the death of the great sculptor the honourable Mrs –Damer – the chemical laboratory at Moscow the [richest] in Europe – fine day came to my room at 10 5/60 – wrote all but the 1st 4 1/2 lines of today which took me till 10 1/2 –

AL seems happy to hide in the carriage from the tribe but gets out to look at a MacMansion. Ironically Georgian style pastiches are contemporary macmansions for modern day architects.

Did you see this Facebook crap?

"Why do I need a 4Ghz quadcore to run facebook?" This is why. A single word split up into 11 HTML DOM elements to avoid adblockers. pic.twitter.com/Zv4RfInrL0

— Mike Pan (@themikepan) February 6, 2019

I popped over to Facebook to verify that and what I saw was a different and even more nested mess:

They are trying to fight your ad blocker browser extension. Of course they are. I'm sure at their scale not doing this means losing millions of dollars. But I wonder if it's really losing money when you factor in losing trust, and potentially losing people on the platform entirely.

It just feels so rude, doesn't it? Like a user specifically installs technology onto their computer in order to exert some control over what they allow onto their computers and into their eyeballs. And they are saying, "No, we do not respect that choice. We are going to fight your technology with our technology and force feed this stuff onto your computer and your eyeballs." Doesn't sit right.

I'm not unaware that ad blockers have ad adverse effect on the ability for websites to make money. That's quite literally how I make money. But I don't want to do it fighting and at the expense of breaking trust. I want to do it gracefully while building trust.

Anyway.

I wonder what writing HTML to help ad blockers would look like instead:

<!-- start: advertisement --> <div class="ad sponsor paid" id="ad-1" data-ad="true"> <div>Sponsor:</div> <a href="https://sponsor.com" rel="nofollow">Company</span> </div> <!-- end: advertisement -->

The good ones have been doing it for ages.

This span-based lettering stuff makes me think of libraries like Splitting.js and Lettering.js that break up text into individual <span>s for styling reasons.

Turns out that doesn't affect on-page search (i.e. if you search for "dog," you'll find <span>d</span><span>o</span><span>g</span>), but it does affect some screen readers in that they will treat each letter distinctly, which can result in pretty awful audio output, like pauses between letters where you wouldn't expect or want them.

It's totally solvable though!

I just read about how powerful aria-label is via Web Platform News, quoting Amelia Bellamy-Royds:

An aria-label attribute on a button or link effectively replaces the text content of that element with the new label.

It was cool to see that's what Lettering.js does by default! And Splitting.js is figuring out the best method for them, which involves aria-label.

Oh, and as ever, ::nth-letter() would be cool. 2018 recap of a 2011 request.
