I think they’re using it in the very specific middle English context where it was also used as a substitute for ð. There’s an actually quite interesting post by someone from Iceland about the different uses in modern Icelandic of thorn and eth.

Funnily enough that practice arose because when English typesetters imported types from the continent they used the Y to indicate Þ because they looked similar to the scribed Þ an the European types didn’t include Þ.

When people say "gods and aliens contact the marvel universe all the time, everything should be different" I remember things like this.

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
