I like how they highlight Ancient Latin. Like the person, apparently knows the difference between Ancient, Classical, and Ecclesiastical Latin, to the point where they can fluently speak specifically one variety over the other, but don't understand a single word of Italian.

Amanda Palmer has been in New Zealand for most of last year, is a relentless self promoter, and has had her personal life widely reported in international gossip media in the last year. The least believable thing about that is the coffee shop not knowing she was Amanda Palmer.

If I was a barrista who served Amanda Palmer every day I might clap if I thought she might repatriate to another continent.

I live in NZ, I know way more than the average person about Amanda Palmer and Ive even seen her live but there's still no way I'd recognise her if she walked into a coffee shop.

I don't think eyebrows made of stars and an ego larger than the North and South island combined stay anonymous for long, especially not when you're throwing a massive international tantrum about your maybe-divorce. I used to be a massive fan of the Dresden Dolls, but I find the way Palmer behaves and her relentless need to promote herself the as the ultimate MPDG trying at best. e: I've been living overseas since I was 18, including in countries where people actually LIKE Americans, and no one has ever, ever done this anywhere ever.

As an educational professional who taught for ten years, I call fake because of the timing. She wouldn't have come up the punchline that quickly. If she did say it at all, it would probably come much later in the day after she'd had time to work it over in her mind. e: Shwoo posted:Is this about Biden's inauguration? Yes. You know, that thing that absolutely means everything to everyone in the world, regardless of where they live. (I'm not saying there isn't relief on a global scale or anything, but my generally nice and liberal coworker [here in Catalunya] expressed disappointment because he thinks Trump is better for the economy and fewer people will buy our game as a result of Biden's win. He is also a 30-year old virgin who once complained for ten minutes because his parents' housekeeper kept knocking down his Gundams, but my point is that non-American people aren't really that obsessed about it.)

Also, if you look at the bottom of the image, the museum wasn't open on that day, a strong additional indication it's made up poo poo.

This is basically how I feel. I was a huge fan through my teen years but Amanda herself has just become so offputting, plus that hosed up poo poo she did to her ex... I had to go through all my playlists and remove her because it was all I could think about every time I heard her voice.

The only thing I know about Amanda Palmer is she caused a huge kerfuffle for getting artists to work for her for free "for exposure" while she was making money. And then when people criticized her she tripled down. I've never liked her and I feel bad for Gaiman but I'm glad he's free

IIRC she had a recording of her ex freaking out over her pretending to have killed herself, then used it on an album. And I think the ex committed suicide shortly after her stunt of pretending to have killed herself.

Ok because it's New Zealand and also she lives in a small town, a journo has actually tracked down the cafe that Amanda Palmer went into and confirmed that her "everyone clapped" thing is, technically, at least partially true*. https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/22...-investigation/ *The huge caveat here is that "everyone behind the counter" was a single person, with whom she had discussed the inauguration previously.

I have no clue who she was until that tweet made it's rounds here. The fact she married Gaiman says everything I need to know. I find him to be the most overrated writer alive. And that says something, because Alan Moore and JRRM are still around.
