Tell me about a complicated man, Charlie Brown, tell me how he wandered and was lost when he had wrecked the holy town of Troy.

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure, Charlie Brown

Reading about AI being subverted by adversarial poetry and Russian drones' navigation systems jammed by Ukranian folk anthems, which suggests the opening future 'human rebels' scenes of Terminator may now have to be revised.

Free linguistic folk horror kernel right here.
It's believed we've lost the true name for bear in Germanic languages - "bear" roughly means "brown one," a euphemism used instead of the true name because it was believed that saying their true name would summon the bear.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

The Jenin Freedom Theater, an embodiment of the “cultural resistance” genre of committed art, ceased operations after the Israeli army ethnically cleansed Jenin refugee camp's residents. The theater is now gathering stories of displacement.

Just for any academics, let me be clear, Hookland is anti-nostalgic. It's an exploration and exorcism of my childhood, not a celebration of falsely remembered sunshine. Nostalgia is a warping gravity.

November’s early darkness enfolds us. The smell of applewood fires and rot is a constant companion at twilight. We hurry between home and evensong, home and pub. Ghosts crowd the lanes, our folklore becomes filled with tales of cold teeth. Winter begins to growl. - #CLNolan

If I'm reading something, it's either because it's interesting, in which case summarising it would defeat the point, or because it's important, in which case I need to know what it actually says, not what a lying machine pretends it might say.

The trenches have vanished long under the plough
There's no gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now
But here in this graveyard it's still no man's land
And countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
And a whole generation who were butchered + damned
There's no gas, no barbed wire, no guns firing now
But here in this graveyard it's still no man's land
And countless white crosses in mute witness stand
To man's blind indifference to his fellow man
And a whole generation who were butchered + damned

When everything tide-touched becomes property of the King-Under-the-Sea, high tide is a crucial matter. Even more so when it comes to the county's causeway islands. No-one wants to get trapped on Os or Far Gore. No-one wants to spend even an extra hour on Strood. – #MattAdams
