Although Frank Belknap Long is considered one of the foundations of the Cthulhu Mythos, he only wrote five stories referencing H. P. Lovecraft and his work, one of them a round-robin story co-written with HPL himself.

Please do not use fake science tidbit that brains are not “fully developed” until 25. This is not just bad science it has mostly been advanced for pernicious ends. There is no reason to delay considering people really adult until 25, please!

Bluesky is way better than the other social medias, for sure, for sure. But I swear I get way more people acting like cops in my replies here, telling me what I can and can't post here. It feels like a modern, even more annoying version of "The Unofficial Rules of Tumblr"

At this point, who ISN'T in the files? Also, he's 75! He should have stepped down a decade ago! How is that justice? "Here's your gold watch--shame about all the girls."

Wildly fluctuating prices used to be a hallmark of collapsing economies but are now proof of Business Genius Innovation
(5/11) Walmart, Whole Foods, and Kohls are switching to electronic shelf labels that can display dynamic prices. Kroger deployed them with Microsoft AI—a setup a 2024 Senate inquiry warned could enable “surge pricing” via facial recognition. (Kroger claims it will only lower prices.)

In honor of today's viewing of Scarlet, I'm going to throw out a question to y'all: what's the worst anime movie you've seen?

Hard mode: no compilation films (because let's be real, most of them aren't good to begin with).

Most of that shit about their strength, purity, and martial prowess was made up years after the fact and most of it is as accurate as shit martial arts movies about ninjas. At the final battle that wrecked their puny empire their big tough guy general didn’t even show up for fear of looking bad

The mighty, unconquerable warriors of Sparta, even if you ignore their misogyny, lack of culture, reliance on slavery, corruption, and pederasty, had an empire that lasted less than thirty years and at its peak was no larger than North Carolina. They suffered a quick and humiliating defeat

Athens is remembered today as the pinnacle of early civilization, the locus of a democracy, art, poetry, and culture that resonates thousands of years late. Athens is a city of almost a million people and the capital of Greece.

Sparta is a backwater nothing with fewer people than Logansport, IN

Because he's perfectly honest about who and what he is at all times.

There has never been a second in his life he's had to pretend anything.

Life did not allow him to, so he never leaned on it either.

finally put a face on another Iron Company character. this is Sam Roarke. for some reason it seems like Sykes doesn't really like him? possibly due to his disrespect for physical boundaries or maybe something way worse who knows #ocsky #ironcompany

My favorite thing about the 80s Middle-earth Role-Playing (MERP) game was how it was set during Sauron's long disappearance and made each of the nine Ringwraiths a master villain you could build a campaign around
