Did you know Monopoly was invented by a woman named Elizabeth Magie in 1903?
Originally ‘The Landlord’s Game,’ it was designed as a protest against the big monopolists like Carnegie & Rockefeller.
But it was Charles Darrow, an unemployed salesman, who eventually sold it to Parker Brothers after playing a version.
Parker Brothers credited Monopoly with saving their company. Magie died in 1948 without recognition. Darrow became very wealthy & his legend lives on. #history #women #HistoryRemix
@msignorile Well, I mean, to be fair, it didn't go on the blink the whole night in 2016 that it started by prophesying Hillary's victory over 45. (It just kept inexorably moving in the wrong direction all depressing night.)
Ever since then, I'm over the needle.
@NightCatArts Yeah, I learned that after the fact. I had the same reservation, tbh.
But this means there's still room for my idea!
Hello, world. Is there a verb yet that means "posting to Mastodon", akin to "tweeting"?
Sadly, I have a feeling that "mastobating" isn't going to take off.
