HGTTG isn't very good. Source: I read it for the first time recently as an adult without nostalgia and it's unfunny lolrandom humor. I understand that it basically invented lolrandom humor but is that really a good thing?

I've tried a couple of times to read it now, and it's just dull, boring and unfunny. And I've got very low standards for reading material.

I see why muskie would love it

The Birmingham mayor (West Midlands) is Richard Parker. Not a muslim. And Tracy Babin is the mayor of Leeds (West Yorkshire). Not a muslim. I guess with this being reposted by Elon and the recent Trump post about London/Paris, the latest bit of misinformation attack on the right is going to be some sort of panic about Western Europe despite literal evidence to the contrary from people who actually live in these cities.

Ask me about calling people racist because I failed geography.
Hgttg is mostly ok but it is laced with the inescapable racism inherent in an Englishman born in the 40s or 50s. I threw the audiobook on while spring cleaning last week and he's about 2 gin and tonics away from breaking out the calipers and doing some phrenology within the first two chapters (all the weird Mongol racial memory poo poo etc).

I imagine that if your internal voice is American it would come across as grating lolrandom poo poo though.

Urban Dictionary posted:

Troon

A derogatory term, usually applied to transgender women, that implies both that they are their assigned gender at birth and that they are misappropriating transgender identities; similarly to the word 'trender.' A portmanteau of 'trans' and 'goon.'
It's an extremely online word and it's origins can be traced back to Something Awful forums.

Nothing too fun, more along the lines of, "Grateful for my time there, excited for the next chapter, good luck to my former colleagues." I suspect they don't want to burn bridges.

When a satirist goes on about something, it isn’t generally because they’re endorsing the concept. I don’t think Douglas Adam’s was a proponent of racial memory and was in fact pissing all over it by putting Genghis Kahn in the subconscious of a petty English bureaucrat.

My first experience with it was the original radio play in my mid twenties, and didn’t read the books until a couple years later. Last book sucks, others ok, but the radio play trumps all.

I find Voyage to the Bunny Planet to be puerile, infantile, and underdeveloped. Where is the character development? Complexity? Beautiful wordplay? It is also far too short to tell a satisfying story with varying character arcs. Don’t waste your time unless you’re an actual child. 1/5
