Hardwick Hall, a masterpiece of Elizabethan symmetry designed by Robert Smythson, whose day is today.

Burton Agnes Hall, Yorkshire. Begun in 1601, after a design by the great (and first!) English architect Robert Smythson. Today is his day.

OMG this sounds amazing! I'll try to join in tonight!

The man, the myth, the cantankerous legend 🔥

He probably loved it that way 😂

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Billionaire Peter Thiel believes Greta Thunberg works for the Antichrist.

George Stark is the first Stephen King villain that I’ve had an “oh no, he’s hot” reaction to.

I will do all I can to support and protect federal workers and contractors.

To those workers, I say again: you deserve so much better.

I know this is yet another dark moment in a dark year, but please do not lose hope.

The country still sees and values your service, and your work is not in vain.

Harlan Ellison was a huge fan of the original Fritz Leiber story this is based on and wrote a spiritual sequel to it.

October 9, 1959: Twilight Zone's "One for the Angels" airs. A kind-hearted sidewalk pitchman (Ed Wynn) battles Mr. Death (Murray Hamilton, 16 years before he was Amity's mayor in "Jaws") to save a little girl's life.

A sweet tale with a nice touch of humor. 🥲

They should give the Nobel to JD Vance, just to watch trump's head shrivel and diaper hindenberg explode at the same time in shock and rage.

It'd be fun watching the next 3 years of Republicans twisting themselves in knots trying to condemn and suck up to both. Whole 2025 agenda would screech halt

Ahmed has been diagnosed with malnutrition and is on an IV. If anyone can help, his link is here to copy and share, and give to. gofund.me/e975e2820

There was literally a big-budget movie last year about how during his one brief period of trying to be cool, Dylan got so anxious about it that he had to get advice from the coolest man alive (Johnny Cash)

You'll love it!

Oh yeah, The Hard Way is brilliant!

LLM-style AI is for people who want to be writers without writing and be artists without making art. These botlicking technosloppers will never understand the beauty, the frustration, the surprise, the catharsis, the revelation, the deep satisfaction and joy of creating real, human-made art.

Btw the novel was awesome and the atmosphere was brilliantly creepy and weird, but the entire book (like Melmoth) is basically a puzzle box of weird clues and nested plots ending on a cliffhanger (also like Melmoth).

Just finished reading Gustav Meyrink’s The Golem (1915) and that ending was Melmoth-level confusing.

Agreed, I find him really likable and empathetic. If Stark really does get his revenge in some way, I would have liked to read how that happened instead of just a cameo mention in another story. The Dark Half is really amazing, one of the best things I've ever read.
