  • What if my bones were in a museum,
    Where aliens paid good money to see ’em?
    And suppose that they’d put me together all wrong,
    Sticking bones on to bones where they didn’t belong!

    Imagine phalanges, pelvis, and spine
    Welded to mandibles that once had been mine!
    With each misassemblage, the error compounded,
    The aliens would draw back in terror, astounded!

    Their textbooks would show me in grim illustration,
    The most hideous thing ever seen in creation!
    The museum would commission a model in plaster
    Of ME, to be called, “Evolution’s Disaster”!

    And paleontologists there would debate
    Dozens of theories to help postulate
    How man survived for those thousands of years
    With teeth-covered arms growing out of his ears!

    Oh, I hope that I’m never in such manner displayed,
    No matter HOW much to see me the aliens paid.

  • This will be the end of Hollywood. Movies don’t make the majority of their money in the United States anymore. The international market is more valuable than the American market, and these tariffs will invite counter-tariffs (as they always do) with countries placing barriers on the import of American movies in favour of their own film industries.

    Due to decades of Hollywood filming wherever they could get the biggest incentives, those industries are already well built-up; they’ve just generally been used for filming American productions and generating profit for American studios instead of their own. Now that’s going to change and the dominance of American cultural export is going to end.
