I'm dressing as a Flockjack for Halloween! I wouldn't mind Halloween shifting to be an annual purging by the people of government surveillance.
We could just cut out the middle man and purge the rich.
Just spitballing, we could call it, oh i dunno The Purge ^^TM^^ or something.
(Trivia: on windows, alt+0153 will give you the ™ symbol - it's ctrl+shift+u+[some hex string I can't remember] on linux! If you're on mobile, godspeed.)
Unfortunately, alt codes never worked for me because I don't have a numpad. L to all my fellow 80% or smaller keyboard users. Works fine on Linux though, the number is 2122.
Alternatively Compose + tm works if you have Compose key enabled. Easier to use than memorizing Unicode code point numbers, for the supported characters at least.
