Salpa fusiformis

From (Spanish) Las salpas, las extrañas criaturas que llenan las playas de Málaga

estos invertebrados no tienen nada que ver con las medusas, por lo que no son urticantes, (...)

"Son el paso intermedio entre los invertebrados y los vertebrados, puesto que tienen una primitiva columna, y forman parte del plancton, la sopa marina que es la base de la cadena alimenticia en el mar", ha manifestado.


These invertebrates have nothing to do with jellyfish, so they are not stinging, (…)

“They are the intermediate step between invertebrates and vertebrates, since they have a primitive column, and they are part of plankton, the marine soup that is the base of the food chain in the sea,” he said.

By the way, both links in your post lead to two different Spanish editions, mine is the one from the second link.

Thanks... I must have had a brain fart. I don't know why I though it was a German edition, probably the font (facepalm).

Fixed!

Awesome! Thank you very much for the heads up.

It seems to be working perfectly, even with videos. This is great!

I think is this one:

daniel everett is the guy who worked on pirahã. he has all sorts of fantastical claims about the language but chief among it is the idea that the language doesn't include recursion because the speakers avoid relative clauses (not what recursion means in this context but ok). the papers are basically unfalsifiable because the pirahã people distrust outsiders, rightly so, and he steers very close to outright calling the people primitive savages, which is very uncomfortable. if you call him out on his shit he just calls you a chomsky shill. super toxic guy.

I find it funny that it's from the same user that wrote this comment in another meme I posted about it:

everett's papers are incoherent and contradictory

yes we should be skeptical of any theory. but finding proof that one part of a theory might be wrong does not make the entire theory wrong (also evidence keeps emerging that everett had an incomplete understanding of pirahã as for example didn't someone prove that recursion is actually possible in pirahã, just marked by prosody rather than syntax?). and then framing it as "fuck chomsky" rather than "fuck universal grammar" is disingenuous at the very least.

i dunno i could say more but i won't. i will say though: the way that everett frames this discussion as being either with him or with chomsky is frankly delusional

Source: "Monolingual Fieldwork" Demonstration - Daniel Everett (YouTube)

Summary from UWElingo blog post:

In this video, Dan Everett is doing a ‘monolingual fieldwork presentation’, something quite impressive: he works with a speaker of a language that he doesn’t know (and which was chosen in secret by others, so he couldn’t prepare for this). Dan is showing that without having a language in common, it is still possible to do Linguistic Fieldwork. In this case, Dan is speaking Pirahã, to ensure that the lady he is working with won’t get any additional clues through his language use.

This is a great example of how you can do monolingual fieldwork – in particular how to start monolingual fieldwork.

After the presentation, there are numerous questions from the audience (again: really helpful in showing how this works). Also, it is revealed that the language is [REDACTED]!

Indeed! The style looked familiar and I was not able to identify it.

Most of the ilustrations of Lorenzo Colangeli are in a very similar style.

AFAIK that would be ok, a lot of subreddits don't even require the posts to be approved, so that would be the same as setting your sub to not require approving and posting to it with a different account.

I was never downvoted on Reddit as hastily as I am on Lemmy.

Note that, unlike reddit, lemmy shows negative vote values. So it may seem a bit more dramatic compared to reddit.

Searching for "Digital Compact Cassette" portable, I found the (very cool) Sony TCD-D10 (source with more images and specifications: Hifi Speaker Wiki). It wouldn't surprise me if it was part of the mood-board for this project, or even its main inspiration.

I don't really have anything to add, I just love this book. I searched for "The NeverEnding Story" in this community, saw that there was no post about it and wanted to fix that :).

Image found on Facebook. I think the source of that specific printing is the Spanish version of the book, [EDIT: as pointed by @alvarolh@lemm.ee, the version on the link is also a Spanish version, I may have had a brainfart because of the font (?)] ~~but it's very similar to some German version covers~~.

Boromir's death (Bakshi 1978) (mutantreviewers.files.wordpress.com)
 

I know Bakshi's version has A LOT of issues, but I grew up watching it again and again and I have very fond memories of it. I'm aware I am in the minority.

One of the scenes I love is Boromir's death (video link)... if you can ignore the "not-enough-budget" Uruk-hai. I like the roughness and lack of music once Boromir's is hit with the first arrow.
