Retired futteret trainer. Sometime civil servant. Fossicker in archives.

I work in a low level government admin job. I've told my wife I've had to sign the Official Secrets Act. I haven't. It's to stop her saying 'So tell me all about your day' when I get home every night. There is literally nothing to tell.

TIL that Samuel Morse was an anti-Catholic fanatic who invented the telegraph not primarily as a communication tool but as a weapon against an imaginary Papal conspiracy to take over the United States 😮

The ideological cousin of “the media isn’t telling us about this” which may actually drive me mad one day, bc it’s usually said about something reported on by multiple huge media outlets and means “no one delivered this to my social media feeds in way that captured my severely diminished attention.”

Nine times out of ten, "they didn't teach us this in school" is shorthand for "I didn't do the assigned reading".
