You know, women dying in childbirth seems a particularly ugly plot point right now, given recent world events (the dragon show). Also I had to turn the sound off for a while

You can’t catch lightning in a bottle. But on the #RARE occasion, lightning can be frozen in time, fossilised as a fulgurite.

I’ve very much enjoyed The Sandman but as an unglamorous overweight cardigan-wearing woman I am ANNOYED that this is how Despair is personified. They may as well have given her seven cats

[I have Questions about Wrath of Man but I suspect they don’t have satisfactory answers]
Show this thread
Watching Wrath of Man as part of my ongoing Jason Statham film festival. There’s an actor in it I thought looks a bit like Clint Eastwood. Some googling has revealed this is because he is Clint Eastwood’s son. What are the odds

THREAD ON THE "NEW" VIRUS OUT OF CHINA🧵
The coverage of the Langya virus is disappointing.
You'd think from this headline, "dozens" of cases had happened recently, wouldn't you?

c'mon.

If I ever do get around to reading Swedenborg maybe I will finally understand what Blake was on about
Quote Tweet
And lo! Swedenborg is the angel sitting at the tomb: his writings are the linen clothes folded up. Now is the dominion of Edom, and the return of Adam into Paradise.
