“For those curious as to why Lieutenant is pronounced as “Leftenant” in the U.K., it’s down to the early days of printing. ‘U’s and ‘V’s were often printed identically, so Lieu Tenant was pronounced with a V when it was first introduced to the English language.”
“I had the great pleasure of spending this weekend in Portland, OR for the 2019 IndieWeb Summit.

How did you pull the information for your Following page out of Aperture? I tried looking through the documentaion last night, but couldn’t find anything obvious to point me in the right direction.
Being able to do something similar could help me on a couple of ideas I have floating around my head.
PhD Candidate at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information. Broadly, my research is concerned with values, labour, and interoperability in communication technologies. My dissertation investigates these features in alternative web infrastructures. I combine qualitative and quantitative methods such as critical making, analysis of digital trace data, and interviews.

Boris Johnson -- full name Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson -- was born in New York to English parents, studied at Eton and Oxford, became Mayor of London, and now stands a good chance of becoming the UK's next prime minister. That's not because of any outstanding ability, but largely because he belongs to the country's ruling class and assumes the position is his by right, as do many of his supporters. However, this smooth if completely unearned rise to the top of the UK's political system was threatened recently by an unexpected event.

“Sometimes I think about the Lord of the Rings and I'm a bit sad about the fact that, while it is the sort of genesis of modern fantasy fiction, most of it's real lessons weren't brought across in derivative works, especially about masculinity. A thread.”
