Do I really see something different each time, or do I only interpret what I see in a different way?

Since learning that my town has a 250 year-old competition in which the winner gets to be known as a Knight-of-the-Green, I've been filled with a nascent desire to take up lawn bowls. www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/2540554...

I’m about halfway through Middlemarch now, and I’m loving that there's a SECOND problematic-codicil-to-a-will. If a plot element is really good, then you can give your novel rich parallels if you just reuse it later.

Apparently Bluesky allows art bots, so I intend to slowly port over the ones I used to run on Twitter. I had one that posted the complete works of Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, and various minor anarchist like Novatore. Also various joke generators (i.e. non-LLM generation). We'll see how easy it is.

After much prevarication, I've decided to see what it's like over here. You may know me from my interactive fiction, my former work as a radical bookseller, through academia, or maybe we have met in person!
