@zebratron2084 believe it or not this is something I haven’t heard about. I wanted to confirm that Luther (speaking of antisemitism) had used the name “knight George” while in hiding and discovered a really vile late 19th early 20th century Austrian politician.
if you were curious about a jazz cover of the theme to Lawrence of Arabia, I've discovered one I like WAY more than the original track
holy SHIT I just discovered Savana Funk while searching to see if anyone had done a funk cover of the Lawrence of Arabia theme (no, but there are jazz covers)
check them out it's all stuff like https://youtu.be/4JKOqEanIKk?si=UsJz5v1RvI3PjMRK
This book I’m going through riffs off a several generations long feud to talk about 9th-11th century England in general. So far the really neat thing has been a discussion of how coinage worked after Alfred and how there sure seems to be a ton of silver coin circulating England as indicator of why folks like Duke William or the Great Pagan Army would be that interested in the place.
I'm reminded that growing up steeped in the idea that I'm am innately terrible person who invariably fucks up, is NOT a good match for an internet in which any opinion once expressed can be promptly condemned as an indication that I'm an innately terrible person fucking up. Time to remember boundary setting a little more.
@rachelw cool, thank you for the useful term!
@joabaldwin is it actually going to be a b/w line piece when finished?
@frang even I forget we exist sometimes!
Oh yes I forgot to tell you. The Spice is found on only one planet in the Known Universe. The planet is Arrakis, also known as… Dune.

@frost I've seen stills from the game! I actually have to say no - I'm headed to bed pretty soon I think - but it sounds interesting. I know I waffle about this stuff a bit but please keep me in mind for later maybe?
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
