A photo a friend took of fencing last night at the local SCA practice. That’s me with the red gauntlets, closing in for the press. Or well, very much in the press. I’m pretty pleased with that. Good fighting last night, generally, too.

Pretty decent boule result with doing the work of it between batches of the day job and interleaved around a massage appointment and sparring and an overnight rest and all that. Managed to thread a pretty good path for temperature management, which feels good.

Rapidly-developing vegetarian animated wolf story is definitely the antidote to all the other BS going on.
Nice to see the backtrack, and I feel like making plush wolf toys is a better choice (let’s not think too hard about the labor conditions that will be involved — maybe they’ll surprise us).

Love a good backtrack 😂

Unlike Greg Bovino, Rick Moranis isn't a racist ass, has his ego in check and his dad didn't kill someone while driving drunk. But they do, on occasion dress the same way.

I started an entire goddamn company because it's so impossible to find good references of clothing these days, and meanwhile people who have no idea what they're talking about are telling skilled craftspeople to do their job with slop.
FUCK.

If you need really high quality reference material of clothing from any historical era and you want to make sure the data is captured by human people who want to use it ethically, @render-ready.com is literally right here
This is a bad excuse for lazy craftsmanship

Y’know, every new still from Nolan’s Odyssey keeps reinforcing that I should continue to leave inception as the last Nolan movie I saw and Batman Begins as the last one I really like.
Everything is so dark and drab and it should not be. Also too damned many pants, looks barbaric. Are they Gauls??

this is an older, pulpier conceit, i think, and also the reason those new poirot movies are so, so bad. they are more concerned with giving his mustache an origin story (A REAL THING) than with the new characters in the current mystery!

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

I found out yesterday that there’s a holiday romance novel about fucking the Ghost of Christmas Past. I think we’re doing okay on the idea front.

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.

I don’t know that I’ve properly sat down with Gawain & the Green Knight before, though I have known basically every note of the story. So maybe ages ago. But I really do appreciate how horny it is in the main portion. Also it is a proper Christmas story, in that the setting is Christmas feasts.
