I checked in randomly on a classmate of mine that always seemed like a bit of a fuckup to me and he is a TV producer with multiple major awards. I'm pretty sure I remember the list including at least one Emmy and a Peabody

The US isn't the only socially repressed place out there. The analysis I've seen is that most of these come from India, Iran and sometimes like Ghana and Nigeria

We really need to invent a video format that can capture things spread left to right. Like if it followed the horizon, maybe

Nobody follows govt accounts that just give dry updates, and then no one knows about the updates, and then people go on reddit and imgur to complain that there's nothing out there to explain X when the agency that manages X is putting out explainers every month. We haven't done the quirky social media thing yet, but I understand why some agencies do.

Like 2018ish the standard advice in government flipped from "avoid social media as much as possible" to "build engagement however you can" because the old men in charge finally realized that no one was reading press releases in classic news outlets anymore

NPS had a great social media presence and I can tell you gov employees elsewhere were very jealous. But the biggest reason they do shit like this is because agency social media accounts get very few follows otherwise and then you've got no audience when you have something you actually need to share and it's easy for copycats to confuse people

The timing of it is really the number one thing. Ask after the meeting, catch them in the hall sometime, bring it up in your one-on-one. Asking during the meeting wastes everyone's time while you either demonstrate your lack of understanding of something extremely common and clear or try to score points against your boss.

#1 I can do this too! 80s: Arrange these blocks
90s: Solve puzzles on a deserted island
00s: Control this family living a wacky suburban fantasy
10s: Arrange these blocks into anything you want
20s: Rip flesh from violent demons

#43 This is a very new stereotype, and it has to do with advances over the last 60ish years in what we study and who studies it. Even when I was in school 20ish years ago professors all leaned left but the least left profs were all in European history. I had one prof who in the year of our lord 2008 was still pushing Great Man theory and had us read the memoirs of Kissinger and did a segment on the history and successes of realpolitik

WD stands for water displacement and the original WD-40 was made to displace water but it has for decades been marketed as "multi-purpose" including as a lubricant. Also WD-40 sells a number of different products in the same yellow and blue branding. I've got a can of their WD-40 silicone lubricant

They're commonly bought by marketing companies, too, and mixed with other sources of information. A couple of high profile "voter lists" sold on the dark web have turned out to be marketing lists containing info elections agencies don't even have in most jurisdictions, like gender and ethnicity.

#7 The notion that no one could read is largely based on church records who only considered people literate if they could read Latin. The actual ability of the average person to read their local vernacular is harder to trace and varies greatly by time and place but we have stacks of receipts and personal notes and even homework to suggest the ability to at least struggle through simple writing was common
