I tried to think of a concise way to summarise this but failed--it's a study of 90s US culture broadly construed, its antecedents, & its consequences for today. The (draft) index gives a pretty good sense of contents: https://t.co/yYhXKODZbx

@vashekcz @stuartbuck1 @ElytraMithra @joaoeira Idk if this makes any sense but Russian Ты sort of sounds a bit like english 'the' (when I read the Russian I originally parsed it straightforwardly "the connection between them"). it's almost like it reached for a Russian word that sounds (a bit) like the English word needed!
