Not too engage in too much historical neepery, but the interesting thing about the horse incident, is that it seems it was his way of commenting on the uselessness of the senate. Later authors, steeped in contemporary anti-Caligula propaganda, missed the sarcasm and reported it at face value.

I think there's a genuine problem when it's used to backsolve intent, or when various forms of neepery about the precise genre classification of individual artwork take over all public discussion of it.

this is actually Important Language Neepery, and FWIW, I agree. I will also go to my grave swearing that grey and gray are TWO DIFFERENT COLORS.

This is really what I love about current Horus Heresy army construction, that it not only allows for but actively encourages this sort of neepery. It feels tremendously satisfying.

This is very long and very detailed. Fascinating if you are into legal neepery. The tl;dr is that the Supreme Corrupt did a very bad job.
An important contribution to understanding why the Supreme Court judgment in FWS is wrong, and will not survive either proper consideration by a full (and fully informed) Supreme Court or the ECHR in Strasbourg.

I don't think I'm in much danger of turning into a grouchy conservative, but if I did it would hinge on stuff like that; just basic, useful technique being discarded in favor of obsessive neepery and overwrought time-wasting methods that produce subpar fiction.

I wasn't originally going to tag Solomon on this thread because it's mostly gaming neepery and there is nothing quite so tedious as listening to some guy going on about his tabletop characters but I realized what I had to say was in dialogue with his video so.
Also I talk narrative so it's okay.

"Em" is a typography unit! (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Em_(typ... ) It's a lot of technical font design and display neepery, but *roughly speaking*, a line should be between 80 and 120 chars on average and it gets harder to read if it's longer.

Over the last two weeks, I upgraded seven #debian desktops and laptops to Trixie, the new Stable. They all went fairly smoothly, which is what I expect.
This afternoon I tackled the main server.

I think my favorite part of church last night was when JD called out the *entire* audience re: geek neepery on the B-side of the Japanese pressing. 🤣
That and the young woman with the curly brown hair in front of me who was having so much fun she was a delight to watch enjoy the concert!

While yes, diligent fans have developed a whole intricate neepery around it, it's all just Marvel No-Prize material, if we're honest about it.
