Goodnight. ✨ May we all slumber undisturbed by any ghostly goings-on.
🖼️ The Ghost Story by Alfred Bestall, 1930.
Illustration by Alfred Bestall titled "The Ghost Story" from 1930. It depicts a family gathered around a fireplace in a dimly lit room, listening intently to an elderly relative telling a story. Unbeknownst to them, the spectral figure of a medieval knight looms large and transparently behind them, seemingly listening to the tale as well. The faces of the listeners are illuminated by the fire, while the rest of the room is cast in shadow.

From Hunter S. Thompson’s ESPN page 2 column one week after 9/11.
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

The Mowing-Devil: or, Strange News out of Hartford-shire is the title of an English woodcut pamphlet published in 1678. The pamphlet tells of a farmer in Hertfordshire who, refusing to pay the price demanded by a labourer to mow his field, swore that he would rather that the Devil mowed it instead.

i think we've been so caught up in trying to evaluate whether games can count as art or literature (obviously yes) we haven't considered the much more interesting "is reading fiction or looking at paintings gaming"
