    “expired without issue” has a whole different meaning to historians/nobility/royalty:

    explanation of the joke

    expire: die
    issue: children
    and thus:
    expire without issue: die childless

    which is a problem with royalties since it means their line of succession ends.



  • I see Twitter as a ship too big to maneuver. Then one day it got bought and a new captain comes aboard. He deliberately breaks the hull here and there to make the ship lighter and more agile, and also fired half of the hands on deck. The ship’s taking on water faster now. He also painted over her name. Despite all this, the majority of souls on board would rather sink with the ship than jump overboard.
