The temptation, when adapting a really iconic detective, is to delve into his personal backstory. That's the devil talking.

Document everything including why your neighbour is a little shit for selling bad copper.

By the way. If yall want to do a small and energy-saving act of resistance...start keeping a journal. No I mean seriously. Document everything about your daily life. Not so much the headlines, but I mean how things are for YOU, personally, every day. Your joys, pains, struggles, lights in the dark. Document it, because there are gonna be a lot of lies and gaslighting down the road in the future, and yes, historians read these and they're important to keep an account of everything happening.

Don't let them erase you from history. Don't let them make up lies to feed the future. We don't inherit the world from our parents, we borrow it from our children. Make sure they have a means to know the truth.

Demons and monsters that torture people because they feed on human suffering are so dumb. People are suffering everywhere my guy go literally any place and take a deep whiff.

How to perform the great rite of banishing:

Be sure you really want this item gone forever

Locate the item you wish to permanently banish to the spirit realm

Think “I don’t want to lose this, I should put it somewhere sensible”

Put it somewhere sensible.

It is done, the item is gone from your life forever.

Brings up the 'how does one cite personal communications with your alternate personalities in your work?' thing again.

I love how it’s “The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and MISTER Hyde” as in, yeah, they are basically two sides of the same person but only ONE has a doctorate

I love Colon and Nobby's discussion of art in Thud!. Colon's assertion that the difference between artistic nude and smutty images is whether the picture also includes an urn or a plinth is silly on the surface, but suggests a real conversation about classism and what sort of art is valued in society and the double-standards therein.

Because it's true. Not just any artist's nude work will be valued. You have to urn it.

We had a bridge like that. She was still eating well within a month of her retirement. maysherestinpeace. Always delighted to hear about her extended family.

was reminded of that youtube channel that records footage of that bridge that scalps trucks today. one of the fascinating developments that's happened since i last heard about it is that, in one of their many attempts to stop the trucks from being can-opened, they installed a traffic light that detects when a vehicle that's over the allowed height is coming and turns red so the driver can stop and hopefully notice the signage all around that's screaming "YOUR VEHICLE IS OVERHEIGHT TURN AROUND" and avoid an accident. However as a result sometimes drivers see the light turning yellow and IMMEDIATELY start flooring it to avoid having to stop, ensuring that the roof of their truck just gets fucking annihilated instantly. Really beautiful stuff you should check it out
