They canceled the Minneapolis LEGO Robotics tournament over general safety concerns. Not that the tournament was even targeted; it’s just so ICEy here.

I know this is just one little thing, a footnote to what’s happening, but…fuck all the Nazis.

Reading Capital, I'm often tempted to skip the footnotes, but I'm glad I read the one savaging Jeremy Bentham just now. "This is the kind of nonsense with which the good man...has filled mountains of books. If I had the courage of my friend H. Heine, I would say that Mr. Jeremy is a genius of bourgeois stupidity." Marx would be such a shitposter today

I love how everything I write now (or edit after reviews) involves extra steps in looking up Internet Archive links for British Library web pages and blog posts so that links in footnotes actually work.

Who has been telling my students to do this? We might as well start footnoting our footnotes...

Things I could do without when editing:
-Pretentiousness (luckily quite rare). Dude, we get it, you're really smart. But most of us are more impressed by good ideas than pompous prose.
-Passive voice. How have you made it this far as a writer while attributing action to the universe instead of people? Buildings don't just get built. Books don't just get written.
-Footnotes. You've written 10k words that three reviewers like. I bet you could read the style guide…
