Great question!
It’s not just about whether or not the gyre is widening – its that the falcon cannot hear the Falconer. In today’s blood-dimmed world, it’s a game-changer that many don’t consider.
The kicker? A beast that is rough, slouching, and born.

The mathematics of dice pool systems are so incredibly cursed. I am aggressively not a mathematician but holy shit every time I try to do this I need one.

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI.
10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

All the Odyssey movie “inaccurate” versus “who cares” arguments are both fun and exhausting. But the trailer shows them rowing a clinker built Viking ship. That is like depicting Columbus crossing the Atlantic in a Chinese junk.

I’m reading Gene Wolfe’s The Wizard and The Knight, which I’d never read, and at this point I’m pretty sure Wolfe could have written My Little Pony fanfiction and still been one of the most compelling authors of the 20th Century.
