We know what it was like in Higurashi / Umineko... #anime

Watching the fediverse expand is like reading one of those books where the supernatural is suddenly revived.

Mythical creatures appear, people awaken supernatural powers, and the planets grows (presumably, so that when powerful people have country destroying battles, it's only one tiny part of the planet being destroyed) with new mountains popping out of thin air.

I don't know how a planet the size of the Sun maintains the same surface gravity as the Earth, however, I'm not going to dwell too much on that.

Though, the god was a red herring in the end.

Takano has gone from being an evil colonel to being an all-powerful god to being a scientist. Lol. #anime

"Warren, Michigan, police officer Matthew James Rodriguez has been charged with assault/assault and battery and public officer-willful neglect of duty, both misdemeanors. Rodriguez punched a man being booked into the jail, slammed the man's head against the floor, and shoved him into a cell. The assault was captured on video. Rodriguez was placed on leave and the department has begun the process to fire him."

"Dwyer said a 19-year-old Detroit man was being booked on suspected felony carjacking and weapons charges when the incident occurred."

Experts Exchange had a funny URL.

It was easy to read expertsexchange as "expert sex change" until they added a hyphen to better demarcate the word boundaries.

For an idea of what happens to a site which restricts access like Twitter, you only need to look at Experts Exchange (closed) which lost to StackOverflow (open).
