The difference between Republicans and Democrats is that the Republicans support their voters when they stage protests and Democrats call the cops to split voters' skulls

@anathema_device Well, I'm talking about the whole national Democratic leadership condemning the students and the bootlicking university administrators who called the cops but didn't have to

A gritty cop procedural drama set in New York City, except the characters are always getting shocking messages carried by ravens

When I find/replace the word "percent" with a percent symbol, I have to check each instance individually to ensure I'm not wrongly changing "percentage" to "%age." By contrast, when I find/replace all the exclamation points in an article with periods, I click "all" so that I have enough time to drive to the writer's house and pour cement in their drainage line

Thinking about world building & the consequences of “too much” history. In many sci-fi tales parts of history are forgotten— some cataclysm results in a society with about as much history as we have: some 20k years with the last 2000 being most referenced and the last 100 (living memory) of real consequence.

But what if you had a million years of detailed written history? What about a billion? I think there is a reason so many sci-fi stories have the trope “we forgot the location of earth”

@futurebird I have a hard time suspending my disbelief when a writer talks about a tradition dating back "4,000 years" or something (generally in fantasy fiction) because after a couple hundred years, people are playing a game of telephone with successive generations. Nothing that old is transmitted faithfully across millennia for 100 reasons.

Yesterday, I was searching for one of those boomer T-shirt generators that have text in different fonts and literally all I can find now are AI T-shirt generators.

I don’t even want to talk about how old I was when I 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 learned that a pony wasn’t a young horse and instead just a small horse because that would mean telling you my current age.
