I’m sorry but I cannot take a man named Phil Hamburger seriously

“Yes, I’m Robespierre,” he said. He put his hand on Citizen Desmoulins’s arm. “Camille, history is fiction.”

It blows my mind to think of people flying anywhere between Boston and DC when the Amtrak NE Corridor is RIGHT THERE.

GOOD GOSH! OPIUM! OPIUM WALT DiSNEY-

A few days later…

I first saw him when he was hosting SNL, had no other information at all, and still just thought “what’s the appeal here??” Not funny or charming, certainly!

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example.... A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. ... But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socio-economic unfairness. [4]

As explains by the great Sir Terry Pratchett:

January reads. Our Share of Night is really special, one of the best novels I’ve ever read. Everyone should check it out (tho maybe check for content warnings!)

Lapvona was my first Otessa novel and hoo boy, i understand why she’s divisive. Gotta check out her prior work soon!

I’m reading Our Share of Night and the parallels are much scarier than any of the actual occult horror in the novel

I managed to get to 3 endings in around 70 hours. I haven’t had a piece of art tear my brain up this bad since I binged House of Leaves.

Finally going to try Pathologic 2 but only after a nice long mental health break.

While street violence is declining, the number of SCANNERS related head explosions is at an all time high

Me: *spends 2 weeks playing only Pathologic 3*

Also me: huh why am I so anxious and depressed??

Boy does this game have a LOT to say about the observer effect

….maybe I should go for more than 3 endings

Oo glad to hear that!

This is my greatest fear (and it doesn’t help that there is a PS5 bug that steals your time travel juice when the game crashes!)
