Just tweeted this out a couple hours ago, and already it's my most liked tweet of all time.  Granted that's a low bar.  This one is 37 likes so far and counting, which is more love than I've ever gotten on Twitter since joining in 2014.

Shaun, I think this calls for a full length Terry Pratchett video essay.

(Hey, we're in for a long lockdown here in Vietnam. I've got to post about something to take my mind off of my boredom, so I'm posting about this.)

Now, granted the reason this tweet was so visible was because it was a reply to a famous person's tweet.  (But then, that by itself is not enough to guarantee likes.  I've inserted myself into a famous people's Twitter threads a few times in the past, and not gotten much notice.)

Anyway, some background for the uninitiated:
