In case anybody knows, I'm still looking for a fantasy novel I read in the 1980s. All I recall is there was a man who woke with some kind of memory loss. Nobody could look at him for long because it hurt the eyes. Some kind of obscuring spell. There was a quest to find a notorious wizard. 1/

The best time to plant a tree in your yard was ten years ago. The best time to build a wizard tower in your yard was five years ago. The best time to sharpen your antlers and disappear into the mossy wilds is right now.

To sum up my thoughts on worldbuilding: Some people seem to think it's like a game where you allocate your stats, and if you have awesome worldbuilding, you must have sacrificed writing good characters NOPE You can do it all! You don't HAVE to worldbuild, but you can without sacrificing anything🥰

Most people use the term, "luddite" incorrectly. A luddite wasn't against technology, as you all seem to think they were, but against needless technology ruining people's livelihoods and churning out bad quality shite. Given the state of 2025, we should all aspire to be luddites.

I've just done a roughly one min task that I've been putting off for about two weeks and has been eating away at my sanity, sleep and nerves. I feel completely relieved. If you see this, it's your sign to do that thing you've been putting off.

Middle-aged ex-public schoolboy here. Was told as a child that Rap was an abbreviation of Rhythmic American Pop which seemed reasonable. An ethnic minority colleague at work recently informed me that this is not in fact the case.

The pomegranate in Medieval Latin was 'pomum granatum' which literally means "apple with many seeds." That entered Old French as 'pome grenate' & became Modern French "grenade". When a new type of explosive shell was invented made of a hollow metal shell filled with gunpowder ...

ngl I kinda hate it when people come on social media to talk about how great it is to go outside but then today I went on a bike ride by the canal and I could feel myself getting high on my own supply (of endorphins) so yeah. The grass touchers are right.

They were all annoying and deeply inadequate humans, but I didn’t want to kill them. Okay, maybe a little.

Following discussion on the Empire podcast, I looked up pictures of young Stalin and now I’m imagining an alternate history where Che Guevara became a reviled murderous dictator, while Stalin was executed by counter-revolutionaries and now this picture is plastered over merch for young idealists:

A tragic tale: I'm in Starbucks and the server is trying to find a spoon for a customer but can only find a shit load of knives. I say "that's ironic" and noone got it.

Before the internet, people used to say things like "Jimi Hendrix did so much heroin he had to mix it with peanut butter and inject it behind his eyeballs to even feel anything", and we just rolled with it. Yeah, that sounds right.
