Back home, and found my Christmas present from when i was about 10:

The Cambridge Encyclopedia.

It will surprise none of my followers to learn this book is my origin story.

I forgot to add pictures of the two Liverpool cathedrals for my American readers who might not be familiar with the pair. The Catholic one is the one that looks like a spaceship. The older looking Anglican one was finished after the spaceship one
Liverpool Cathedral (Catholic) - a large round concrete building intended to suggest a crown of thorns but with a quasi-industrial appearance Liverpool Cathedral (Anglican) - a Gothic revival style church which suggests age and tradition

For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.

This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.

Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.

Be warned.

Come along and read today's SIDEQUESTED, where Charlie is talking to a member of a presumed cult...who seems extremely nice?

Or you can start from the beginning, in which she meets a vulture and dragons and a cute princess and a handsome whole-ass dinkus.

That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
Green, grassy fields in the foreground with a tree, shrubs and flowers. Trees in the background including two red Japanese maples and a stand of pines on a ridge. Further back, a sliver of sea with hills rising behind. The sun lights clouds from behind with some blue sky remaining.

Are you looking for a light-hearted, chaotic-driven, fantasy RomCom to enjoy online?

You've got it.

Meet Charlie, Robin, and Leopold, disastrously falling in love and making stupid decisions... With magic! ✨

*Side Quested* is a webcomic by me and @kbspangler.com , free to read at sidequested.com.
Comic page. Panel 1: Charlie looks shocked, says "wow. Do you ever wonder what you'd be like if the spell had worked?" Panel 2: Robin is holding a huge rock. Says "I did when I was a kid. Now? I'm glad it didn't." Panel 3: Robin looks absolutely adorable turning around. She says "Now I know that whatever I do with my life, it's not because of magic. It's because I'm me." Panel 4: Charlie is blushing out of her mind, heart everywhere. Peony is looking and grinning. Obliviously, Robin is in the background throwing huge rocks around, saying "Unless I go into demolition. I'd be great at demolition!" Comic page. Panel 1: huge Babs (the red dragon) says to tiny Charlie "you enjoy learning new things?" And Charlie answers "Always!" Panel 2: charlie looks away. Days "well. Almost always." And Babs goes "and now you're learning that new things aren't always good?" Panel 3: Charlie looks away, wind in her hair. "No, I've stdied history so I know about wars, and famines, and plagues, and... It's different, you know? Learning about world-changing problems and then trying to solve them?" Panel 4: babs is grinning. "Like trying to rescue a princess from a tower?" Charlie goes nuts, waving her arms "WHAT WAS I THINKING!?" Comic page. Panel 1: prince Leopold is in a CAGE, that looks like it was made for a big bird, hanging on the ceiling of a beautiful hall. He says, embarrassed, "hello, cousin". Panel 2: charlie is SHOCKED, looking up. Boopsie looks bored. Robin is outraged saying "Wait, mom! That's Prince Leopold!?" Panel 3: boopsie leans to sit by the table. "Now, my darlings..." Panel 4: close on Boopsie's face. She's wickedly smiling. "Let's talk" Comic page. Panel 1: a big panel with a gorgeous cottage garden by the edge of a cliff, behind the Deepsea Castle. Leopold, Robin and Charlie are sitting in the grass, having dome sort of picnic. Robin says "... She's my MOM. So she's not going to send us off to our deaths." Charlie answers "I'm okay with anything that doesn't end with war." Panel 2: leopold is startled. "What? War!?" And Charlie answers while Robin sips some tea "You're a prince. Marriage for nobility is political. What did you think would happen when you broke the marriage contract?" Panels 3, 4 and 5: Leopold slowly realizes, his eyes growing wider.

In case there was any doubt or confusion, yes it's absolutely the racist Gammon-people organising this flagwankery - also, people smugglers.. but as usual, the "It's Always Projection" rules seem to apply..

"The mountains and peaks shaped by the loving hands of the All-Hammer. What a world he made…"

Here is my ode to Divergence but above all Exandria and its maker ♥️ 10 years of Critical Role, shaped by many loving hands - I'm so happy to be a small part of it!

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleSpoilers
Illustration of the character Garen Hearthheart from Critical Role, EXU: Divergence. The character is an old dwarf with long grey hair and beard. He looks down lovingly to a floating planet that is held between his hands. One of his hands is ghostly and made of blue energy from the elbow down. Behind him are mountains flooded with yellow and orange. Faintly, the outline of dragon wings can be seen. The image is framed by a stone arch. Left and right there are carvings of the four other main characters of the story. Crokas and Fiedra to the left, Nia and Erro on the right.

So Google AI is no longer telling us Mary Shelley and Jane Austen were sisters. That doesn't mean it's now 'right' or 'better'. It's just different, and there's no way to know why. New stolen material uploaded? Manual intervention? A source that cannot be verified or remain consistent is useless.
