3 November 2026 - all that glitters
< yesterday --
tomorrow >
In contemporary American, "all that glitters is not gold" logically
implies that gold can never glitter. I suppose it is still allowed to
gleam and perhaps shimmer, but glittering is out. The night sky doesn't
glitter any more either, at least not near a city. If you see something
glitter, you have to ask: Was it made for TV, in which case you may
watch it but had better not believe it, or was it polished up by an
influencer and you should flee?
