Back in the day when I did copy/data for Sears.com - EA sent us a doc that broke an upload because someone did a search/replace for "EA" and changed it to "Electronic Arts." In a 3k-line doc for a promotion at SEARS (note spelling). This pushed all the fields outside their character limit.
Federal employee with a data role told me that a document was removed from employee access because it had the word "inclusion" in it.
As in, "inclusion of data in our estimates."

Something the "so you think the law means anything now" doomers fail to grasp: the importance of buying time. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, has infinite resources and infinite capacity for managing complexity.
Make your opponent work. Make their every decision complex and their every move costly.

Let us not forget that some cultures would have a king for a day and then give them to their gods as a blood sacrifice. Personally I'm not sure about gods but I think the sacrifice part should still be an option in certain cases...

Another thing I need people to understand is that we need to be taking our direction from affected communities right now. Zero immigrant rights groups have asked anyone to directly fuck with la migra. They HAVE asked for things like carefully checking warrants & not asking people their status.

I've needed to use a walker sometimes while in my 40s and 50s.
I was doing complex patient consults some of the time.
Do you think I was unqualified to do my job for that reason, Ken?

We got a comically large butternut squash in our grocery order yesterday. Paz is included for scale, and because he wanted a sniff. Paz does not generally approve of vegetables because they are not meat.

Here’s one: “Into the face of the young man who sat on the terrace of the Hotel Magnifique at Cannes there had crept a look of furtive shame, the shifty hangdog look which announces that an Englishman is about to speak French.”

Alongside "who built Hadrian's wall?", another great example of knowledge falling foul of 'common understanding' is scurvy.
The Royal Navy discovered the cure for scurvy, won the Napoleonic War, humanity then lost that knowledge without realising, then got saved by two Norwegian guinea pigs 🧵 /1
