       @textfiles I've been idly wondering for a few days now: Is there a way for people to "embargo" things at the Internet Archive? That is, allow IA to archive it, but instruct IA not to allow public access to it until a certain date (or event)?I'm imagining, for example, a relatively small journalism outfit that has some of its content behind a paywall. They may want something like "Automatically free this page after five years", or even "... after the death of the owner".

       @stux I tend to think that it's mostly just yet another form of bragging.

       @stux Well, to be fair, at least some of it (the Secret Service and at least some of the cops) is not under his control, but generally speaking his constant need to puff himself up in all ways at all times is sad no matter where you are.

       @futurebird Oh jeeze, I just read this like a couple weeks ago, and I too was shocked by the sudden jump in quality!I enjoyed the first couple books, but the silliness level, while fun, got out of control at points. ER had some silliness, and it was still fun, but it seemed much less forced. And both Granny and Esk seemed like... real people? To a degree that I didn't get from any character from either of the earlier books.
