@duolingo i could connect through the app and do lessons just fine until today. Today, all day, no luck. Your website shows “403 forbidden”. App says to contact support. Can you help?

Tolkien's Letter 64 remains forever relevant:

"The utter stupid waste of war, not only material but moral and spiritual, is so staggering to those who have to endure it. And always was (despite the poets), and always will be (despite the propagandists)..." 1/6

people say an awful lot of dumb things on this site. instead of getting angry at them, consider looking at this cat.

look at his serious little face.

look at how orange he is. he could not be more orange.

look at him.

are you still angry? if you are, keep looking at him.

people ask “how could anyone write something as crazy as Alice in Wonderland” but then you read about the Victorians and the air was perfumed with opium, there was arsenic in the walls, you could get mercury poisoning from a hat.

On the 24 November 1983, The Colour of Magic was published.

To mark this anniversary, our own @McKenzie_Ben asks: how did #Discworld get to 40?

The first episode of @bbcdoctorwho, “An Unearthly Child,” premiered sixty years ago today. There is no other show like it—campy and endlessly inventive and streaked with a quiet humanism that makes it one of the great works of modern fantasy. Here’s to another sixty years.

I recently listened to a podcast about grief where a mother who had lost her daughter was told she could write off the next five years of her life to coping with that loss. The more I learn about grief…

A friend of mine (acquaintance really, but still) recently lost her husband very unexpectedly. They have a son that's my middle's age (12) - the boys were in gymnastics together. She posted this today and it reminded me of a convo I had on Twitter not long ago.

It was a slow apocalypse. Anytime someone opened a door, there was a chance they’d find a better world on the other side. Those who went through never returned. Few even tried to resist. The planet emptied. Soon, the other realities didn’t even need to be better. Just different.

Had a lot of fun scoring Coyote Vs Acme. As no-one will be able to hear it now, due to bizarre anti-art studio financial shenanigans I will never understand, here is a bit of behind the scenes footage of our “Meep Meep” Roadrunner choir, with apologies to Tchaikovsky…
