Ah! Look how 'Christian' is capitalized? That's completely typical of what we call a 'religious mindset'.

Sorry to go all ENHANCE here, but the hclust() dendrogram in this tweet seems to be from an analysis of English novels? You can make out the coding: Author_Title, e.g. Conrad_Lord at the bottom; Thackeray_Vanity and Thackeray_Barry; the green ones at the top are Austen, etc. pic.twitter.com/qqYkMDcp5C— Kieran Healy (@kjhealy) September 7, 2018

here's a good one for starters
It is false and defamatory to suggest that Julian Assange filed a lawsuit or any other measure against Ecuador over his pet cat, laundry or cleaning [in fact, his cat is not at the embassy since before the protection case was even filed, see https://defend.wikileaks.org/about-julian/].

Not sure if this was known elsewhere or what, but Emma Best (above) has started up what seems to be a competitor for Wikileaks.

Ecuador last year established new rules for Assange's behaviour while in the embassy, which required him to pay his medical bills and clean up after his pet cat.
