Felicity ShouldersI wish generalist historians and writers would stop using “plebeian” and “patrician” when talking about ancient Rome. I’m a non-scholar Rome nerd and I don’t have all the answers, but I DO know that the usage varied hugely over time: and that in much discussed eras, many actual plebeians were in high office and flush with wealth! By Cicero’s time it was like asking whether your ancestors were in the fashionable cabins on the Mayflower or rode steerage. (1/2)

Jeremy MallinMy grandparents on my mother's side were born in the 1900s. I was born in the 1970s. These are absolutely not the same thing.

essjaxWas the emergency that the pilots had mistakenly taken a Boeing 787 Dreamliner instead of the little Q300 turboprop that might actually have room to land at Gisborne?

Tanya McGee Wheatley 💜🌸🌷Today, on International Book Day, I had to set aside a book I had found that sounded really intriguing. It is _Silver Elite_ by Dani Francis. The problem with the book is it is written in both past and present tense, which drives me crazy. In one sentence, she has the character in both past and present and I had to set it aside. Self publication is great but I do wish authors would have someone proofread the manuscripts before they do publish. #PetPeeve #InternationalBookDay
kurtshI honestly wonder why LED display manufacturers - especially portable displays - think buyers want crappy quality, monoaural speakers built into their displays.
Either provide decent audio through the speakers you include or don't do it at all.

Feli#PetPeeve: Omnivores' "We're the normal ones" mindset. (HT NotAllOmnivores.)
In the "Identify these liquids" task, their guesses about the stock are almost invariably "beef stock". Like the setup were not made for five people.
(Admittedly, TM used to swap non-veg things between contestans, like Bovril to Marmite as late as series 12.)
When will the "Yeah, but I couldn't do without bacon" crowd accept their style as not the norm?
(Norm as in should, not would.)

DrubMy husband turns to me & says “Do you have bandwidth for something? I really hate orcs in 5e because of their teeth.”
I looked at him with wide eyes, “Do you know HOW LONG I’ve been so annoyed by this? And what the frick is their culture?! BORING.” 2/2 #orc #DungeonsAndDragons #petpeeve
