If you need a mundane example of how much people look at words/headlines and don't understand them, it's the number of times I track a citation of @richterscale.bsky.social's piece back and find it being used to argue that historians confirm the electricity biscuits theory.

During the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in #Buffalo, Whitney's sculpture titled Aspiration was sited in front of what is now the Buffalo History Museum. It was plaster of Paris & likely discarded at the end of the Exposition.

Hey, look, it is the Signature Bridge that everyone thought would be unique to #Buffalo back in 1999. Turns out a second Peace Bridge was not needed and this design was being built all over the place.

How many countries are represented by restaurants in #Buffalo & Erie County?
Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.
