I'm no conspiracy theorist but it's hard to read about late Tsarist Russia and *not* be one. When, for instance, the guy who shot Pyotr Stolypin was a known-double agent of the Okhrana, who warned his handlers that his terrorist cell was plotting Stolypin's death, and they did nothing to stop it.

I should create a handy flow chart of the shows/movies/literature that influenced The X-Files. Some are obvious (Silence of the Lambs, Kolchak the Night Stalker, All the President's Men, the various Quatermass serials), others less so (episodes inspired by The Narrow Margin and D.O.A.).

Bad Day at Black Rock has a horrifying scene where Ernest Borgnine dumps ketchup in Spencer Tracy’s chili. I really hope this isn’t a thing that happens

I'm not sure how much I'm going to use Bluesky. Didn't much like Twitter even before Muskrat bought it. But there are some cool people here, so maybe I'll give it a shot.
