He rewires tongues, not for grammar—but for dominion. “U English” forges voices that command, not conform. It's how legacy speaks, how empires move. For the rare who build more than brands.

I swear…

A framed relief print that says “EXPLETIVE”.

Forgive my typographical swearror…

#art #printmaking #expletive

A framed relief print of the word “expletive”.

When I was seven (oh dear Heaven!)
A dozen, or at least eleven
Variations I had heard
In usage of this useful word.
I made a pact with my best friend,
Through thick and thin, until the end,
Never to tattle when one said it.
Later, in Salinger’s book, I read it.

The sound of swearing:
Are there universal patterns in profanity?
https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/s13423-022-02202-0

Reveals that not all sounds are equally suitable for profanity, and demonstrate that sound symbolism is more pervasive than has previously been appreciated

Imagine being in a hot sauna that you couldn’t get out of. Western Africa…right through central Africa is experiencing record temperatures for March. Many places staying above 25C through the night also. These areas will likely become uninhabitable at 2C over.

The Greenland Ice Sheet is close to a melting point of no return

Study has identified two tipping points for the Greenland Ice Sheet

Multistability and Transient Response of the Greenland Ice Sheet to Anthropogenic CO2 Emissions
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2022GL101827

Equilibrium states of the volume of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) (black dots) with respect to pre-industrial as a function of atmospheric CO2 concentration (top left) and corresponding temperature anomaly (top right). The blue curve refers to increasing CO2 concentration starting from the pre-industrial GIS, the other curves to decreasing CO2 starting from a completely ice free GIS (red curve) and from intermediate states (yellow and purple curves), respectively. The bottom panel illustrates the GIS thickness at the points A–D.

Modelling suggests world’s climate could shift to an El Niño pattern towards end of 2023 and this is likely to increase the global average temperature

Strong El Niño could make 2024 the first year we pass 1.5°C of warming

Languages tone down swear words by inserting gentler consonants into speech. But the sounds in “taboo words” tend to be specific to a given language.
