@KDemo I had to look up alternative facts. I guess I missed it. I’m pleased to find out that the book 1984 jumped up in sales 9500% on Amazon because of someone calling “alternative facts” newspeak and Orwellian. The publisher had to order a reprint of 75k copies to make up for the demand.
@RiotDemon - Trump’s spokesperson used the term while trying to explain away his lies. I have the 1984 audiobook on hold at the library to reread. Or, I guess rehear. There’s a long waiting list.
Alternative fact.

@KDemo great book. One of the few I was forced to read in high school that I actually enjoy.
Great song, though. Wouldn’t mind at all if this one showed up in rotation.
Oops. I guess this is the rotation.
Carry on.
Coulda fooled me!
At first I was sad that I read the comments first because I assumed I’d spoiled it for myself, but that was a nice surprise.
I would never have known about Samuel Gilbert Scott if it weren’t for the song not about him.
Just imagine what a song about 19th Century American Daredevil Samuel Gilbert Scott would be like!
@PocketBrain Jeeze, he hanged himself in front of spectators! They thought it was part of the act.
