  • That’s the dumbest song I’ve ever heard. Straight up, it sounds like something that someone would write about their “ex” in middle school. I hope I can compartmentalize about this, because Vincent is a lovely song, but I feel such vicarious joy for this woman at getting out that it might be worth it to ruin a song.

    In German spoken since the nazis used it as a propaganda term it has taken on a different connotation. The denotation of “Volk” may be “people” in some senses, but “Menschen” fits much better for most uses of people. “A people” is “ein Volk,” but “people” is most commonly used as the plural of “person,” which would be “Mensch.” “Volk” has an ethnic connotation, which the singular meaning of “people” has, but the plural does not.
