The Ringmaster's Advice

        People say, "any publicity is good publicity" allthe time. It's become a modern truism. But people don't seem to give much thought to where it came from.

        While there is no proof that he used exactly those words, the quote is widely attributed to showman P.T. Barnum. I think it's safe to say that even if he never said "any publicity is good publicity," it describes his lived ethos.
    
        P.T. Barnum was the founder of the Barnum & Bailey Circus, billed as "The Greatest Show on Earth." He advertised fake mermaids and a woman who claimed to be George Washington's 161-year-old nurse. Barnum's traveling shows featured midgets, Siamese twins, bearded ladies, and even "Jo-Jo the Dog-Faced Boy."

        There's no record of him saying these exact words either, but he is also widely credited with the quote, "there's a sucker born every minute."

        P.T. Barnum did describe himself as the "Prince of Humbug," proudly owning his reputation for hoaxes and "harmless" deceptions.

        Barnum was an interesting character, but he's not a man we should be encouraging other men, especially young men, to emulate. Unfortunately, his ethos is more or less what social media has been teaching kids for the past ten years.

        And at the same time, everyone complains that everything is "fake and ghey."

        Well... if you follow the ringmaster's advice, don't be surprised when you end up living in a circus.

THE DIGITAL FRONTIER OF FIDELITY

The Nuances of Micro-cheating: Social Practice or Digital Paranoia ?  


In the contemporary landscape of interpersonal relationships, the ubiquity of social media has recalibrated the traditional parameters of faithfulness. The emergence of the term "micro-cheating" serves as a testament to this shift, encompassing a spectrum of subtle, digitally-mediated behaviors that, while devoid of physical consummation, suggest an emotional or erotic redirection. Such actions— ranging from the seemingly innocuous "double-tap" on an expartner’s archived photograph to the deliberate concealment of encrypted message threads—occupy a contentious "grey area" that challenges the binary definition of infidelity.  

From a socio-psychological perspective, micro-cheating is often interpreted not as an isolated act of betrayal, but as a symptom of the "validation economy." The digital architecture of modern platforms encourages a constant pursuit of external approval, where a notification can function as a dopamine-inducing ego boost. Consequently, the ambiguity of intent becomes the focal point of the debate: is the digital interaction a legitimate exercise of social autonomy or a covert erosion of the primary partnership’s exclusivity? Proponents of the concept argue that the "secrecy criterion" is the ultimate litmus test—if an interaction is intentionally shielded from a partner’s view, the threshold of trust has likely been breached.  

Conversely, skeptics caution against the pathologization of digital sociability. They argue that the expansion of the "cheating" umbrella to include minor online interactions fosters a climate of hyper-vigilance and domestic surveillance, potentially undermining the very foundation of trust it seeks to protect. By labeling these behaviors as "micro-infidelities," we risk imposing a panoptic gaze on our partners, where every "friend request" is scrutinized for subversive intent.

For the language educator, this phenomenon provides a rich semiotic field for classroom reflection. Aligning with the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), the study of such themes transcends mere grammatical decoding. It invites students to engage in "multiliteracies," analyzing how meaning is negotiated across digital platforms and how language (visual, verbal, and symbolic) shapes social ethics. In this sense, the English language is not merely a system of signs to be mastered, but a tool for critical agency in a globalized, hyper-connected world.

The Tipping Point.


Last week at my neighborhood coffee shop, the barista flipped that dreaded tablet toward me. Three tip options glared back: 18%. 22%. 25%. For a $3.50 latte I was picking up. That took thirty seconds to make. I’ve hit my breaking point with tipping culture.


Growing up, tipping was simple: 15–20% for sitdown restaurants, maybe your hairdresser. Now it’s an expected tax on every transaction. The frozen yogurt shop where I serve myself wants 20%. Self-checkout kiosks are asking for tips. This is insane.


When I traveled Europe last summer, I paid exactly what was on the menu. No guilt, no calculations, no awkward pressure. Servers were paid living wages and the service was excellent.


Meanwhile, I’m expected to subsidize corporate America’s refusal to pay fair wages while their CEOs pocket millions in bonuses.


It’s 2025, and American tipping culture has spiraled out of control. It’s hurting workers, stressing customers, and letting profitable businesses guilt-trip their own customers into covering payroll. When I worked retail years ago, my employer paid my full wage. I didn’t expect customers to subsidize my paycheck because my boss decided to pocket the difference. Yet somehow in 2025, we’ve normalized corporations outsourcing their payroll responsibility to guilt-ridden customers. 72% of U.S. adults say tipping is expected in more places today than it was five years ago. But even as Americans say they’re being asked to tip more often, only about a third say it’s extremely or very easy to know whether (34%) or how much (33%) to tip for various services.


[...] The confusion is real and it’s intentional. Companies benefit from our uncertainty because confused customers tend to over-tip rather than risk social judgment.

Read the excerpts written by John Robert Schmitz, from the Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), São Paulo, taken from his article entitled “To ELF or not to ELF? (English as a Lingua Franca): That is the question for Applied Linguistics in a globalized world”:


The realization that there are today more nonnative speakers than native speakers of English in the world with institutionalized and nativized varieties as well as their own specific communicative, cultural and pragmatic competencies has led to the rethinking of present-day practices in teaching, teacher preparation, and the writing of textbooks. Jenkins' publications (2000, 2003) dealing with the phonology of English and material for teaching English as an international language along with her book English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) (2007) call for the disengagement of the language from Anglo-American native speaker norms. This line of research presents serious questions for Applied Linguistics (AL) and English Language Teaching (ELT) that will, if implemented, entail major changes in that endeavor. The winds of change may indeed be beneficial for some and a threat to others. I argue in this paper for an open mindset with respect to the issues and to the new state of affairs in this globalized world today. [...] The appearance of Lingua Franca English has contributed to rethinking the role of language assessment and testing (ELDER; DAVIES, 2006) along with reasoned debate (TAYLOR, 2006) with Jenkins (2006a, 2006b). In addition, the field of Second Language Acquisition has also been questioned (FIRTH, 1990, 1996), FIRTH; WAGNER, [1997] 2007) with regard to its dependence on native speaker standards as the measuring rod that determines successful learning. Finally, House (2003, p. 575) calls for continuing research on ELF in Europe and elsewhere, but concludes that it is "(...) not, for the present time, a threat to multilingualism".
