I write for fun, play RPGs when I can, and generally just try to enjoy things. I'm really good at phrasing things the wrong way too, so don't take my comments to heart (unless I say something nice!)

Chessboard Alignment

xkcd.com/3177/
Comic. [Three chess games next to each other. There is a diagonal yellow grid highlight from the pawn in the top left corner of the third chessboard to the bottom of the middle chessboard where there’s a clear path. The player positioned near that bottom section has moved to look at the third chessboard.] [caption] It doesn’t happen often because it requires micrometer precision, but if two chess boards are *perfectly* aligned, it’s actually legal to move pieces between them.

Good on Penn Jillette. Having to come to terms with your entire political identity and philosophy being wrong is not easy and most people could never do it.

Found when sorting an old drive. I still, very occasionally, say 'not many badgers in the House of Lords' and this is why:
Letter to the Guardian. The protection of badgers has a long pedigree (Report, 29 August). Arthur Gore, known as "Boofy", the eighth Earl of Arran, was a fanatical defender of them. He was also a tireless campaigner for the rights of homosexuals. In 1967 he managed to push through a law in the Lords that decriminalised homosexuality but failed to pass a bill to outlaw the cruel hunting of badgers. When asked why he had not received enough support for his badger bill, he replied: "Not many badgers in the House of Lords." Tony Lywood Keswick, Cumbria

Things You Can Make ChatGPT Write for You - Hayley DeRoche Your last words But before them What to murmur to a lover in bed What to say in the group chat when someone's Sister mother brother is dead and The apology you could never quite get right for a friend And hell why not make the robot compose your proposal Your wedding toast, too Your best friend's birthday roast You could ask it to write a custom lullaby For the baby snuffling at your breast. You can cradle to grave away Every warm human word You could ever have said And when they chisel your gravestone For your final rest We can ask ChatGPT Because it knew you best

A striking page layout from the New York Journal and Advertiser in 1898. The photographs show Halil Adali, named the new Terrible Turk after beating the original one, the Sultan's Invincible Wrestler, and the Lion of Constantinople. He was billed as 6ft 5, 263lb, and in America to challenge any man:
Broadsheet newspaper page scanned for Library of Congress newspaper database. Half the page is taken up with a photo of a large bald, shirtless, man shot from behind with his arms up, a smaller image below showing him from the front. Personally, I don't think he looks particularly muscular and he could do with a few months on the weights. Anyway, the headline reads A NEW TERRIBLE TURK - BIGGER AND STRONGER EVAN THAN THE GREAT YOUSOUF

Alas, it was not
Drawing of a young man in nothing but his pants climbing into a human-shaped hole in a rock and saying to a crowd “It was made for me! this is my hole!”. It’s a panel from the short story The Enigma of Amigara Fault by Junji Ito

It was Downey who coined the phrase in the LEVERAGE writers room “future episodes do not win out over present episodes”. Trust me, you’ll have more ideas. You’ll die full of them.

WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.

Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.

Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.
