i have an LLC, called something like “floating paper studios” (i do art). got a business debit card. had to tow my car today. i go to pay the guy. i give him this card. but the bank cut the last letters off the name. so he pauses, then asks me, “is your name floating paper stud?”

I don't think it was the intention, but "The Word Becomes Flesh" from Boards of Canada's new release is a great meditation on the Incarnation. That God should deign to follow our ontology!

The Sumo Association’s archive project has finally reached the September tournament of 1985, which of course includes one of the greatest matches of all time. It remains the only bout in which I’ve seen a punch thrown.

In Memory of John Blanche

We mourn a passing of another great artist John Blanche, well known for his many Warhammer illustrations. In my opinion, his works captured a unique ‘grimdark’ aesthetics which I still look up to, to these days.

May he rest in peace.

@troll_lege I remember enjoying it greatly in college, but I think I enjoyed Invisible Cities more when I read that a few years after

Chaucer was believed to be a rapist based off of one legal document, and feminist scholars used this info in their critical analyses of his works.

Just a few years ago, a NEW (medieval) legal document, that was found in a salt mine (???), cleared his name.

On the basis of shared vocabulary in the Old Saxon Heliand's description of Satan's temptation of Christ and Beowulf's fight against three monsters in Old English we can reconstruct a surprising number of poetic words belonging to Proto-West Germanic monster fights.

there's no reason to read the Dune books nowadays. I guess if you're really interested in the history of the genre it can be neat seeing half formed concepts in them that later got refined by Warhammer authors, butyou can read actual Warhammer novels and have a much more reward
