Lower left is Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks

You should give The Left Hand of Darkness a[nother] try. One of my favorite aspects of the book is that, as the story progresses, the layers of seperation between the narrator and the native people are stripped away; how he gradually drops his air of detatched “science” and begins to see them as fully persons.

There is a fair bit about the Gethens sex/gender, and it’s quite political/sociological (all of which drew me in) but there’s a beautiful humanistic story that blossoms as the narrative transitions thru its many different stages.

Luxury!
In my day we shared a desk with the next-door office and had to fight for desk space!

Trotskyist Scott Adams arc

They have gloves in the title card tho

It worked for me when I logged out and back in again

4mat is amazing. Started in the demoscene in the 90s and did a bunch of game soundtracks

My favorite album of his is Origins but Decades might be more what you’re looking for

I found this after a little bit

He raped Pieke Roelofs (who collaborated with him on youtube) and harrassed her to cover it up. He was even too shitty for reddit mods

The Dutch authorities found him responsible but declined to charge him

Roelofs founded Stichting Cassandra, a foundation that defends the interests of victims of sexual and psychological violence

boids watching

I’m Larson being spied on by myself

I’m almost done with Wyrd Sisters and my love for Pratchett only grows the more I read him.

Wyrd Sisters has a bit of a bumpy start (more like a few molehills) but once it hits it’s stride it really flies. Every paragraph has a gem but they wizz by so fast that I find I can’t remember anything but the feeling.

Also lovely audiobook with Indira Varma narrating. They did great managing all the stage direction and other odd formatting in the book. And she does just the right amount with all the oddball voices.

I’ve read a few Discworld books here and there but this time I hope I can really dive in. Pratchett puts me in such a good headspace especially with gestures around generally

I never noticed their hat says ROUND BOMBS lol
