A cynical observation that, on social media and internet platforms, the official record of events—who was banned, what content was removed, what narratives are preserved—is controlled not by users but by those with power to delete, edit, and conceal. Moderators and administrators can erase evidence of their own abuses, fabricate justifications for bans, and shape community memory to favor their clique. The phrase warns that appeals to “the record” or “what really happened” are futile when those who control the record are the same people who caused the harm.
“History on Social Media and on the Internet is written by Moderators and Administrators.” Example: “When she tried to appeal her ban with screenshots, the mods deleted the evidence threads and said ‘we have no record of any harassment.’ History on social media is written by moderators and administrators.”

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.
Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
