Z is for Zeitgeist The end is here and for my last 2025 Blog Challenge post (not counting the two I missed and now have to backtrack and write) is Zeitgeist. The word zeitgeist—from the German Zeit (time) and Geist (spirit)—means “the spirit of the age.” It describes the dominant ideas, beliefs, and moods that define a particular historical period. While the zeitgeist is often shaped by politics, culture, technology, and economic conditions, it also responds to social consciousness, and […]

Y is for Yeet English is the most spoken language in the world and the default language for international business, tourism, and technology because it is a living language. It changes and adapts, which is also why you have weird spelling and pronunciation that seems to make no sense, and why English is difficult for non-natives to learn. Not to mention the idioms—catching a cold and cutting your teeth make non-English speakers wonder about us—well, many things have that effect, […]

When They go Low… 1 comment

W is for When They Go Low… You know the rest of the quote, but here’s the lady herself, explaining how and why she adopts this belief:  And, more recently, her take on the topic at the DNC convention last year. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/21/michelle-obama-dnc-speech-chicago-2024-00175324 But, I can hear you say (because I say it too), they are going so very low. They don’t play by the rules. It may take fire to fight fire. Now, I love a good MAGA-bashing meme—I mean, […]
