Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

Bombadil take of the day:
He's not actually got any supernatural powers, he's just exceptionally genre-savvy.
Undead wights are things of horror, and there's no room in a horror story for a larger-than life buffoon, capering and babbling nonsense poetry.

No-one believes in 'blue no matter who' - everyone has red lines.
For some people, that's voting for genocide. For others, it's voting for s Muslim.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

RIP to those whose visage with its sneer of cold command lies half-sunk in the desert but my works are despair-inducing. and trunkful. maybe even more trunkful than ye mighty.

Dragons think we are amusing. But they remember Erreth-Akbe. They speak of him as if he were a dragon, not a man.

If people fancy seeing the sort of fantasy stuff I'm doing for Warhammer, my novella "On the Shoulders of Giants" has its paperback preorder starting next Saturday. If you don't know Warhammer, you don't particularly need to. Just the story of a man with a gun who lives on top of an ogre.
