Stealing other people’s cultural heritage is their cultural heritage

By jove you've got it! I must make haste and alert the Director of this ingenuous new strategum at once!

Nobody’s gonna recognize this but you & me, grandpa.

The fresh prince is an ancient text now. It's a few lines on the wikipedia page of the guy who slapped that other guy at the Oscars

What is this fresh prince you talk about it?

But we already have a carpet museum.

A single hand pie filled with brown sits in the center, slowly crumbling to bits

Purely from the point of view of a museum visitor it's a unique and exceptional experience being able to see so much of the worlds history and culture in one place. But at the same time it takes away something that could be really special about travelling to another country because that's the only place where these things are on display.

Some day we'll learn that memes aren't rushed pre-T9 SMS messages from 1995. 'ppl'? The nineties are over: evolve with the times!

I think it's more likely that ppl will simply become the more expected way to spell it. When was the last time you saw someone write out etcetera, and ASAP is common in all but the most formal of settings.

Hard agree. Sadly Twitter did nothing to help rid us of these short forms with its initial character limits.

Hopefully they will have more variety in more respectful presentation through a voluntary exchange with other museums. That would be the dream at least
