Finally finished the reread of THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY by Michael Chabon.
But to my surprise, this edition has four extra related pieces, at least three of which I've never read. So I've got about an hour more with these folks, treading new ground.
It's Christmas in September!

So, Rune Fencer Illyia is a HUGE game with tons to fight and explore; a love letter to castlevania, zelda and PS1 action-RPGs!
My wife and I make it without publisher funding, so wishlists are super appreciated!

Time Crisis 3 (2003 | Nextech | PS2)
It's sad that every big modern game costs $400 million to make yet fails to reach the pure ludonarrative heights of the Time Crisis Twinks ripping off their Hawaiian shirts to reveal custom varsity jackets during a daring jetski escape

Compare these 1700s paintings of Judith Slaying Holofernes ~ tho Judith's arm positions are similar in both, Caravaggio shows her face as troubled, almost shrinking away / but rape-survivor Artemisia Gentileschi shows the two women as implacably determined

Another reason to dislike Linus from Linus Tech Tips: he criticized a keyboard for having a numpad. "I don't need a numpad. I'm not an accountant." OK, but how are you gonna play Nethack? Idiot??

Maybe you've heard of the #BirdsArentReal movement, but here's an equally wild idea that is nevertheless true:
TREES DON'T EXIST (phylogenetically).
By which I mean "trees" aren't a distinctive group or 'clade', they're a shape that plants grow into, like how animals tend to evolve into crabs.

This is a good read from The Guardian about Springfield. One of the very concerning aspects is that neo-Nazis started targeting Springfield last month and Vance / Trump picked up on it quickly. To me, this potentially points to close coordination.
Haitian immigrants helped revive a struggling Ohio town. Then neo-Nazis turned up
Springfield’s immigrant community was targeted by far-right extremists months before Trump shared racist rumors

All common law lawyers are familiar with equitable maxims which started as a guide for the Lord Chancellor as to how he should exercise his conscience when hearing cases in Chancery. Fewer know that they were first compiled in 1728 by Richard Francis. I've just bought the 1st American ed from 1823.
