I really don’t understand why these outlets assign people who aren’t familiar with the games to write articles about them. Does nobody in that office who plays POE have the five minutes it would have taken to drive that copy out the door?

That last paragraph or so was tragic. They giggle when people call it “Pee-Oh-Wee”?

Diamanda Galas, Yma Sumac… what are some others? We might be birds of a feather here.

Thrilling take. So informative. You’re definitely the Neo to the modern day “journalism” matrix.

Funnily enough, I just got done reading Daryl’s story. It’s pretty sad 😬 Doing a full read through of HellBoy, BPRD, Lobster Johnson, etc. in order.

Can strongly recommend.

Did not know there was a radio play. Ta!

Pontypool Changes Everything by Tony Burgess was also a NUTS book. Definitely check it out. The scope is much wider than the flick and as a result it’s a lot more uneven. I still really dig it.

Salitter is my answer to this one every time.

The silence. The salitter drying from the earth. The mudstained shapes of flooded cities burned to the waterline. At a crossroads a ground set with dolmen stones where the spoken bones of oracles lay moldering. No sound but the wind.

Here, also.

My country and now every country around my country has decided they want hardcore extreme right politicians running the country. These politicians are winning on blatant misinformation and unrealistic promises.

I’m literally surrounded by morons.

Very nicely said. Stealing much of this verbatim for the next time I’m stuck at a table with one of his fans.

Discoveries about and observations of comets, supernovae, even exoplanet transits are regularly being enriched or even driven in some cases by “amateur” astronomers.

This guy’s legit out of his mind or he’s been huffing Elon’s musk.

This is an insane take. “While I appreciate amateur astronomy” - my dude, it’s not amateurs being affected here. You want to let a small number of tools become the only way humanity has to make these kinds of observations? You think the tools up there can somehow be made to equal the capacity and accommodate the man hours required to do the science we do?

You’re out of your mind.

See, this is what I’ve been looking for. Bloody #traditional art channel on here is just a dude posting pictures with basically random adherence or thought to properly attributing, dating or contextualising. Unsub -> Sub 😁

Thanks @perishthethought@lemm.ee High five.

letermagô. That’s it.

Ha ha 🫤 yup. I guess?

It’s a lot. I feel like it’s maybe backfired a bit, because I’m just irked by this enough for my chances of picking this up to have dropped past zero.

Spam is spam.

Hmmmm. Milk toast 😋

You simply cannot go wrong with the new Kobo Clara BW. Cheap, fast, repairable. It’s my favourite object.
