Even if he hadn’t written three of the most-loved #DoctorWho stories, Chris Boucher would be a legend for just this line:

"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views, which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."

RIP Chris 💙💙

In 1900, the U.S. had 8000 registered cars; by 1929, it had 30,000,000.
I’m here to suggest that the rise of the internal combustion engine changed everyday life & industry in America more than the commercial Internet has changed it in the 29 years since Netscape launched.
