It's sadly that time again; a post of other places I can be found on the internet if you're thinking of leaving the site.

Ways to spice up the Winter Olympics:

- Hockey games played in simultaneous pairs perpendicular to one another

- 4-person bobsledding now '3 and a bobcat'

- Zambonis active on ice during all speed skating events

- Biathlon uses paintballs, abuts snowboard jumps

- SkiFree yeti on Super-Gs

An accident in the medical district of Hope Central Station has left many injured and no aid for them. You have been sent to evacuate the worst injured but order has broken down and everyone wants their hurt friends and relatives on the first flight.

Tolkien (pathetic naïve rube) writing prequels: And so Melkor who was called Morgoth tainted all creation and Arda Marred shall suffer under the shadow of his evil until the end of days

George RR Martin (edgy, dark, and modern) writing prequels: INTRODUCING THE ADVENTURES OF LARGE LAD AND BALD BOY

As a formerly professional and currently recreational Shakespearean scholar, I can affirm that there are exactly two evenly matched couples across 37 plays: Beatrice & Benedick, and the Macbeths.
You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

This is a longshot, but are any editors looking for review coverage from the Glasgow Film Festival or Frightfest? I'll be attending in late Feb/early March, and there are definitely a few premieres on the schedule, especially in the horror genre.

Tag yourself, I'm Turner
Bill Bailey plays twin desk sergeants, Turner and Turner. One Turner reads Complicity by Iain Banks, while the other reads The State of the Art by Iain M. Banks. They’re the same author, Banks uses the ‘M’ for his science fiction books.

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center:

If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

While on shore leave on a remote asteroid resort you are investigated by the authorities when another resident is murdered. With 24 hours before your transport leaves you must solve the case or be caught up by the bumbling local detectives, perhaps for weeks.

Again, whoever gets hold of my laptop after my unexpected death, send Seven Words To Break A Spell to @voidskrawl.bsky.social; anything with Eliza Sky in it to @curtissandsm.bsky.social; the rest will have to look after itself.
