I've already mentioned that this year I rediscovered the joys of re-reading books because of the reading group I'm leading. Now re-reading Rakesfall and it's such a rewarding experience. You remember the shape of things if not the details and you see how the shape is wrought from the first page.

Gotta read all of these but for now, The Immeasurable Heaven, Uncertain Sons, and City of All Seasons are all excellent. I hope Immeasurable Heaven takes it.

Read The Works of Vermin!!! But also listen to me talk about why the French Second Empire and the Paris Commune are so interesting, an essay I am going to write about it, and the potentials/horrors of living in a modern city! Thanks @hironennes.bsky.social for writing such an amazing book!
Eden launches into @hironennes.bsky.social's The Works of Vermin, using it as a platform to explore ideas around the potentials and contradictions of living in modern cities, the influence of the French Second Empire (yes) on the New Weird and much more!

Good vocals are important for all styles of music but if you're making heavy metal and I don't like your vocalist, there is zero chance I'm going to be a fan.

I'm so sad. Last few months I have just been struck, more and more often, with just deep sadness at how I have to spend the majority of my team: working. The issue is not working itself, I like solving problems and winning. The issue is the smarmy calls, the lies, the wheeling and dealing.

The amount of genuinely stupid people who manages multi-million dollar companies that I meet for my job just eats away at my soul.

I really liked Alex Jeffers' A Mourning Coat and hope to discuss it more in length somewhere! For now, some quick thoughts on it in this episode, plus some stuff about depression, why talk to people online, and a KILLER song at the end.
Langdon and Eden meet to discuss a smörgåsbord (say it with us) of topics like mental health, the uses of online discord, and a collection of books they've been reading.

Among the other myriad horrors of flying, it always reminds me how much we as a society (by which I mean humans, not even just the US) bungled up COVID. No one is wearing masks. Forget COVID! Flu? RSV? Wearing masks is such an easy thing to do and no one is doing it because of a fucking culture war.
