@rosesonhergrave Got both Egyptian and Norse mythological place names, so it MUST be real!

@rosesonhergrave The destruction of monarchy and betterment of the peasantry is always viewed as a “dark age” or “collapse of society”.

@rosesonhergrave Lifted right out of the British Expeditionary Forces playbook.

@POCGamer Earth 2, and "else-world" stories are some of my absolute favourites in comics.

Writers and artists can just... do stuff, you know? Free to throw ideas and dynamics out there.

@CurtCarbonell Truth right here.

@RichterDS @DeadDogLake @ViciousVideos Treated for minor injuries? That woman is so wildly lucky, it could have been so much worse.

Okay but notice that the headline calls them "killer whales" and the actual species name, orca, is in the drophead? That's what we call "framing". It puts the readers mind into the space the writer wants it to be.

Just something to remember when you see other articles.

@MartinDubu Thanks, friend. It's making the bad news easier to stomach.

[Sword on the Range @SwordOnTheRange]

Howdy everyone, it's been a little while. What's new? Oh uh, there's some good news and some bad news. Which first? Let's do bad news first so we can end on a high note.

@three_eyed_fox The dinosaurs really came to life in that film, and the score by John Williams was *phenomenal*

The GOOD news is that my degree is going very well, I'm taking an archaeological field school partnered with the Siksika Nation, and my "roll the dice and follow my dreams come what may" plan is working out!

[Sword on the Range @SwordOnTheRange]

The bad news is I'm getting a divorce that feels like it came out of absolutely nowhere and my domestic life has been painfully and dramatically flipped upside down.

[Sword on the Range @SwordOnTheRange]

@Superdillin Huh... Neither have I.

This is an example of overly simplified statistics allowing for erroneous deductions.

1. It assumes there wasn't a mass casualty event that impacted gen x and older to limit the target demographic's population

And 2. It assumes acceptance levels are equatable among generations

I'm not on this site very often anymore. I haven't really posted anything in ages. I kind of like being a tumbleweed through this place, though.
