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.

Round Up: New William Hodgson Editions

    The British Library's Tales of the Weird series has arguably been leading the charge in the mainstream reissuing of classic and obscure weird works, issuing thoughtfully curated collections on a near-monthly basis since July 2018. At time of writing, there have been over 60 volumes released under this imprint, with many more lined up.
    Not only was a collection of William Hope Hodgson's short stories an early inclusion (The Weird Tales of William Hope Hodgson, April 2019), but Hodgson is unique in having had two of his novels issued in the same line The House on the Border/and (October 2023) and The Níght Land (May 2024), both with an introduction by Ann VanderMeer. Only a handful of novels have been published in the Tales of the Weird series (the vast majority oÍ volumes are short story collections), so it is remarkable that two of WHH's novels have been chosen for inclusion.
    Penguin books have recently gotten in on the action, launching their own Penguin Weird Fiction range in October last year. Five books were published simultaneously - Hodgson's The House on the Borderland again being included - all with cover art "inspired by 1970s Penguin genre paperbacks". This isn't the first time Borderland has been published by Penguin: it was included as part of their (seemingly inconsistently labelled) Red Classics / Gothic Classics series back in 2008. At any rate, it's great to see Hodgson back in print with such a high profile publishing house.

Identify the two correct and two wrong interpretations of the phrasal verbs used in the text and mark T (true) and F (false).

( ) The phrasal verb "lined up" in the first paragraph indicates that the upcoming books are physically standing in a straight queue at the printing press.
( ) The expression "gotten in on" in the third paragraph suggests that Penguin Books has started participating in the same profitable trend that the British Library began.
( ) The expression 'lined up' is used idiomatically to indicate that more volumes are scheduled or prepared for future release.
( ) The term "back in" in the final sentence is used to describe the physical movement of a book being placed inside a prínting machine.

Q4042726 Inglês

To answer question, read the text below.


The Language of Performance

    Well, the word “performative” is generally meant as an insult. It’s meant to trivialize and indicate that someone is play-acting or “faking it.” It suggests that someone is only doing something to be seen doing it, and not because it represents a sincere interest or enjoyment.


    This is one of those situations in which metaphors are overextended, and language distorts rather than describes natural human behavior. It is normal for our species for men and women to “perform” acts to impress both our own sex and the opposite sex. Males and females have different sex “roles,” and we “perform” acts to satisfy those roles.


    The language seems to “portray” us as “actors performing roles” and implies that we are all essentially “lying” or “faking.” This is the kind of wordcel wordtrap that lends itself to Marxist gender theory ideology and postmodernist thinking.


    “Nothing is real, everything is fake. Everything is a performance.”


    That’s a frame, but it isn’t the whole picture.


    Men are primates. We imitate each other. Monkey see, monkey do. And yes, we do things to try to impress each other. You can frame that in a way that seems trivial or superficial, but it is also foundational to human nature and social hierarchy.


    Fonte: https//mrjackdonovan.substack.com/p/on-performative-males

Read the following statements about the phrase faking it (first paragraph) and mark True (T) or False (F):



( ) It is a phrasal verb (intransitive, with "it" as a pronoun object).


( ) It appears in the context of the word performative.


( ) It is implying sincerity, synonymous with pretending or acting truly.


( ) It is a compound noun.
