Second, when we say “All knowledge is contained in fandom” what I mean is that I once posted “Hey, does anybody know anything about Eastern European wars in the mid-to-late 1880s?” and three hours later had a historian go “I study the Serbo-Bulgarian war of 1885, can I help?”

That's how you can tell human authors from AI.
AI will put in some em dashes, then apologise and take them out when told off.
Human authors will climb the filing cabinet, hissing, and defend their right to em dashes with a loaded stapler.

So the last few days got me thinking about some research I did into horrible ways people die in coal mines, specifically mine gas.
(I read about a lot of coal mine disasters when I was working on the next Sworn Soldier book. Never be a coal miner in the 1800s if you can avoid it.)

Dr. Genie Clark, perhaps the most famous person ever in my field, was bitten by a shark once in her career: when she slammed on the brakes and a shark jaw in her backseat flew forward 😂
These shark jaws were recovered from a fisher’s estate, where he took the jaws out of a few thousand sharks over his career. His family donated them for scientific work.
Today I’m pulling a bunch to send to a colleague for isotope work.
I’ve been bitten so many times this afternoon.
