@tmcw I edited Wikipedia a lot when I was a kid. Different people have different quirks in how they edit, it turns out. Most people put their citations at the end so they're out of the way visually, and some people do...this.
@matallo@tmcw Extremely informative, thanks for sharing.
I have tinkered with another of the services Tom is subtweeting here, Ludwig, and found it is similarly a solution in search of a problem.
@lindsey I started my career in telephony. When I was an intern in the mid-80s, a lot of people (not employed at AT&T or the baby Bells) used the term "Bell-shaped head" to refer to a particular engineering mind-set...
@MeganRisdal Re: character growth. I don't often expect character growth from a movie! Akira does a good job of establishing interesting existing characters in limited screen-time and working with them.
@MeganRisdal Akira // Elfen Lied has obvious parallels, both are about superpowered kids with horrible childhoods that develop sociopathic tendencies. Elfen Lied stays human scale, though, which is something I am...more equipped to understand.

Which IMO missed an opportunity to tell a thoughtful character growth driven story by going for shock value instead.
