Infiltrator syndrome. I don’t care if I’m good or not, I’m here and I’m doing it

Agreed and it hurt a lot seeing it develop as each new book came out.

Addendum: I love Nation, but I would contend that it kicked off another late Pterry trend of third act villains with next-to-nil screentime and insufficient foreshadowing. Stratford in Snuff directly descends from First Mate Cox.

Yesterday I read an interview with the singer in a punk band who uses GenAI to help with writing his texts.

Punk. The whole point of punk was that if you know how to play 3 cords badly and have something to say just fucking go for it.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

"Once Upon A Time... Life" was this educational French cartoon all about the workings of the human body, and was part of a bigger franchise that mostly dealt with varipus eras of history. Incredibly charming.

Seriously how good would it have been if Howard had just stuck to spooky swashbuckling adventures for Kane, like the one set in the Black Forest in Germany. But noooo

Goat Fell in winter, from Saturday. Last part of the climb was over snow 1-2 feet deep. Tanked it with no equipment and scrambling over the snow and rocks bare-handed (don't try this at home).

Also I got stuck on the island overnight and lucked into accommodation at the last minute πŸ™ƒ

you can really blow some minds with β€œactually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”

Catching a 6.00 am train and 7.00 am ferry tomorrow because I decided freezing my balls off on a mountain is better than sitting at home feeling glum about what day it is.

Saying that I just played LOTRO for an hour and change hotspotting off my phone's data and it burned like 20 MB, that's sheer witchcraft
