    It’s fun to see how people are re-learning history. It’s like an eternal September.

      There’s just too fucking much of it, history. There’s some pretty important bits, like the Holocaust and how Colombus was a shithead, and occasionally the world’s countries get super pissed at each other and have a war about it. But the esoterica of potted meat food product, 70s British comedy troupes, and their collective effect on internet lexicography is a bit much for me. Hell, your “eternal September” wording is probably another such invocation I haven’t the memory to recognize.

        there keeps on being more. Oh man I wonder what history classes will be like in a hundred years if they exist.
