irony because the threat wasn't some foreign invaders but homegrown fascist violence in the book, Saruman destroys the shire by convincing many of the hobbits that industrial capital is better than their quiet ways of living. Goods are tarriffed and expensive and freedom of speech is restricted.

Really enjoying Becoming Timefaring by @thenightshirt.bsky.social right now (and I guess, always will be and always have been!)

Given the theories put forth in my last article, a tip from @thenightshirt.bsky.social brings us back to MKUltra. Donald DeFreeze, leader of the SLA, was IDed by remote viewer Pat Price among many other headshots. Given DeFreeze and SRI's mutual CIA connections, was this laundered intel?

By 35 you should have at least two abandoned blogs, one dormant podcast or streaming channel, three RPG campaigns prepped but never run, and five unfinished novels (graphic, text, or interactive). [orig posted 2018 May 20]

Every mind-bending TV show:

Reading for pleasure has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. And every reader is different, and enjoys reading different things in different ways. So please: let kids read for pleasure and celebrate books EVERY DAY - not just #WorldBookDay!

Ulster County Locations for Outies. The Testimonial Gateway is on Route 299 near New Paltz tho, not Abeel Street in Kingston. It's also a great entrance to the Mohonk Preserve @mohonkpreserve.bsky.social which isn't mentioned in the story at all. #Severance hudsonvalleyone.com/2025/02/17/s...

It's a very bad year for linear time. I've just started Dismantling the Master's Clock by Rasheedah Phillips of Black Quantum Futurism (@blackquantum.bsky.social), and it's brilliant!

Evergreen writing tip from John Swartzwelder (creator of a tons of classic The Simpsons episodes, plus some very funny novels). This is from a rare interview, by Mike Sacks of The New Yorker, 2001. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

❝ For 99% of viewers that know anything about fonts — already a small subset — they would just think it’s Helvetica. I hope the fact that it should be but isn’t quite seeps through to the audience somehow and adds to the weirdness of the show. ❞ IT WORKED www.artofthetitle.com/title/severa...

I don't see many long threads on here, but I'll try one - it's about Holbein's Ambassadors, his 1533 masterpiece in the National Gallery. It's often presented as a great mystery, but I think once we understand the circumstances in which it was made, its meaning becomes clearer. 1/
