How to write good.
1. Avoid alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.)
4. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
5. One should never generalize.
6. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
7. Be more or less specific.
8. Sentence fragments? Eliminate.
9. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
10. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are unnecessary.
11. Who needs rhetorical questions?
@ProjectFearlessness not just the Israel-Palestine conflict, but any conflict. There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.
@dashie the Media Explorer in Reaper is pretty good

"I discovered that the unrented office suites directly next door are a time capsule of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and we got permission from the building owners to put on an exhibition of vintage computers and telephones in the offices."

"There is no such thing as paranoia. Your worst fears can come true at any moment."

"ChatGPT is fast-tracking the commodification of the human spirit by mechanising the imagination. It renders our participation in the act of creation as valueless and unnecessary. ... [U]sing ChatGPT to write ... lyrics because it is 'faster and easier ,'is participating in this erosion of the world’s soul and the spirit of humanity itself" - Nick Cave

My flight at gate 404 is delayed because... the plane isn't there.
I am not making this up.
@scottjenson but your using a Blink based browser is still another nail in the coffin for Firefox and other alternatives. You're skewing the metrics of every site you visit, and making their supporting alternatives less of a priority.
