If you’ve ever seen a popular, modern movie a few years after it came out, then you’ve probably felt LTTP. Here’s what this initialism is and how to use it on social media. Late to the Party LTTP stands for “late to the party.” It’s taken from a widespread idiomatic expression that means being involved in or aware of something later than other people. LTTP can be typed in both the uppercase “LTTP” and the lowercase “lttp.” This acronym can be used in two ways. First, it can mean that you’re late to a popular or significant cultural moment. For example, you’re LTTP if you haven’t watched any of the movies in a blockbuster franchise, or if you’ve missed the latest dance trend. Alternatively, it can mean actually being late to a conversation or event, so you need other people to explain what you missed. It’s very similar to the internet acronym OOTL, which means “out of the loop.” These acronyms refer to being ignorant about something important, often current events or … [Read more...] about What Does “LTTP” Mean, and How Do You Use It?

Football: Thiago’s arrival doesn’t mean someone else leaves Liverpool, says Klopp
REUTERS: Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp has stressed that Thiago Alcantara's highly-anticipated arrival at Anfield does not mean the club will be forced to sell a player in the current transfer window. British media reported the Premier League champions have agreed a transfer fee worth 20 million pounds (US$25.91 million) plus five million pounds in add-ons with Bayern for Thiago, who is expected to sign a four-year deal with Liverpool. Thiago bid farewell to Bayern in an open letter on Friday, with Klopp hinting that an announcement confirming the signing is imminent. "It's not official until it's announced. It looks quite promising," Klopp told a news conference ahead of Sunday's trip to Chelsea. "It might be useful for fans to look at LFC channels over the day." Thiago will join an already bulging Liverpool midfield alongside Jordan Henderson, Georginio Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Naby Keita, James Milner, Curtis Jones, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Xherdan Shaqiri and Marko Grujic. … [Read more...] about Football: Thiago’s arrival doesn’t mean someone else leaves Liverpool, says Klopp
The Big Read: With globalisation in retreat, ASEAN can offer Singapore a way forward in post-COVID world
SINGAPORE: As the head of a global manufacturing firm headquartered in the Republic, Mr Alessandro Perrotta has sent his Singaporean staff to be based in various countries — including Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia — where his company has operations. Contrary to popular perceptions, he has never faced resistance from Singaporeans when they have to go to these countries stereotypically viewed as less liveable than the rich city-state, said the chief executive officer of Interplex Holdings. “Singaporeans are some of the most flexible people I know … My team is willing to go anywhere, anytime.” As companies here and elsewhere adjust to a new business normal brought upon by the Covid-19 pandemic, Mr Perrotta will continue to focus on the region due to its attractive opportunities. It is an endeavour that Singapore itself has been actively pursuing over the last few decades: Greater regional integration with its neighbours in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). … [Read more...] about The Big Read: With globalisation in retreat, ASEAN can offer Singapore a way forward in post-COVID world
Endangered doucs enjoy idyllic lives thanks to Covid-19
Multiple red-shanked doucs could be spotted at Bach Ma National Park in north central Thua Thien-Hue Province at the start of spring. Nguyen Vu Linh, director of the national park, said there are around 12 troops of doucs with over 128 individuals. Around six troops, amounting to over 85 doucs, reside in the Bach Ma mountain area inside the park. "The troops of doucs only returned to the mountains three to four years ago. It means the ecosystem here has been protected well," Linh said. Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, few visitors have toured the park recently, allowing the doucs to forage further afield. A douc hangs from a tree branch. The doucs instinctively seek out young leaves to feed on. A loud noise would cause the entire troop to flee the scene. Many photographers take advantage of the quiet park for creative inspiration. Some even traversed jungles deep within the reserve, hoping to capture the daily … [Read more...] about Endangered doucs enjoy idyllic lives thanks to Covid-19
Potato Head is getting with the times. So should Congress
Allison Hope is a writer whose work has been featured by The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, Slate and elsewhere. The views expressed here are the author's. Read more opinion on CNN. (CNN) You know times are a-changing when a famous toy spud is getting an upgrade—and for a very 21st-century reason. Allison Hope Hasbro has announced it is dropping the gendered honorific "Mr." from the brand name of its popular Potato Head toy. The move, a seemingly innocuous one that follows in the inclusive footsteps of other brands like Mattel and Target , has sparked the fury of the internet mob once again exposing its ugly underbelly of anti-LGBTQ hate. It's a child's toy. It's -- let's get real -- a potato. Why such an overreaction? We all know the answer. But for an additional reminder, we turn to Congress, which is having a slightly elevated, though at times inane, misinformed and Mr. Potato Head-level, debate about whether to extend equal … [Read more...] about Potato Head is getting with the times.
