Gatag is a Nart, the mythic heroes/ gods/ spirits from the mythology of the North Caucasus. Gatag is an evil water spirit who fathers the shapeshifter Shirdon.

Panel from "Shirdon"- The Narts webcomic by Sylvan Migdal. It shows a tan skinned man with long brown hair & beard wearing a gold circlet & sticking out of a river in front of a light skinned woman with a long blonde braid wearing a white dress with a blue- gray overdress holding a bucket

I had this on a calendar when I was 11 and it has always been my idyll of Rivendell. Beautiful and autumnal.

Revisiting this gloomy slab of dungeon doom today. Transmissions from the edges of existence, of fractured mirrors and decay and broken things.

LONELY WATER (1973): Legendary child-frightener, and one of the most influential and effective PIFs ever made. Donald Pleasence's voice helped lower the number of child deaths by drowning and opened the door to the scary, deadly PIFs of the 70s & 80s. A folk horror film condensed into 90 seconds.

That last line is one of the absolute single scariest things to me and that it was said with such casual happiness is even more disturbing.

Not distressing.

Full tilt disturbing.

imagine relying on AI to write your bio and then having the nerve to say you're witty and full of personality

Anderson felt her bio was authentically her even if it was written by a chatbot. “My bio is 100 percent in alignment with my true personality,” she told me. “I don’t have a filter. I’m very witty. I’m full of personality.” Nor did she think using ChatGPT reflected the “bare minimum energy” she loathed. “It took me an hour and change to drill down my bio to be that good,” she explained. “I had to edit it, edit it, edit it down. I have to keep talking to it.” On the other hand, she admits that ChatGPT has sapped her motivation to write a first draft of anything herself, even though she minored in writing in college and described herself as a “wordsmith.” “I’m gonna be honest with you: Once you use ChatGPT, you don’t want to think for yourself anymore,” she said.
