My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings. Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they *could* look upon my works, they never stopped to consider if they *should*.

My name is Ozymandias, King Of Kings. You looked on my works. Prepare to die.

Screencap of Darth Marenghi (Temu Stephen King) against a dark background, emphatically saying “I know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards!”

I'be started using "Look, it was the *nineties*!" to justify every bad decision I've ever made or questionable opinion I've ever held. It works surprisingly well.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

A hi tech laboratory. Technicians work at computer work stations. A glass cylinder contains an unhappy bespectacled figure in a striped top and hat. A scientist explains to two colleagues:
"The subject will be returned to his natural habitat. But now, thanks to our implanted tracking device, we can answer the question 'Where's Wally?' in microseconds rather than hours. "

While on kindle, I’m still frozen in with the Franklin Expedition in The Terror by Dan Simmons. We’re not having a great time here tbh but I’m sure the ice will melt soon and we’ll be through the north west passage by Christmas!

Good afternoon Womble! My preorder for the audiobook of The Rose Field by Philip Pullman has arrived so I am listening to that! It’s great to get back into the world of Lyra Silvertongue

I would like to share with you that your thread about The Lady Vanishes reminded me what a great film it is and on Friday night I watched it with my 8yo, who thoroughly enjoyed it (especially Charters and Caldicott)

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

Good evening Womble! I have just finished reading (in paperback) If We Were Villains by ML Rio which was fantastic.

I have also finished the audiobook of The Thirteen Gun Salute by Patrick O’Brian and I am now continuing the adventures of Captain Aubrey and Dr Maturin in paperback:

The cover of The Nutmeg of Consolation by Patrick O’Brian, featuring the prow of a sailing ship in the foreground and another sailing ship in the background

Wait, what! The tin is full of biscuits! What is this bullshit? I need a sewing kit! How am I going to sew on these scout badges now?
Smh
😔

The same tin, now half open to show a load of butter biscuits nestled inside

My mum went on holiday to Denmark and kindly bought me a new sewing kit!

This will come in handy for sewing on my son’s scout badges
