Extra dramatic sunset to start my last week at the lakeside. (And four kilogrammes of sloes. Crazy good foraging this year.)

Very dramatic cloudy sunset over fields and distant trees

Seen a lot of people responding to this with “I’m just going to pirate the show,” and I want to gently remind everyone that the central idea in this piece is that there’s no way to engage with the Potter franchise in any capacity that doesn’t benefit Rowling and her bigotry

RIP Tim Curry, who had the range to star in the two greatest movies about a mutiny in the middle of a transatlantic sea voyage, and also the crew occasionally breaks into song

Tim Curry as Dr. Petrov in The Hunt for Red October

Tim Curry as Long John silver in Muppet Treasure Island, and also Sweetums

THE VATICAN IS CALLING IT A SCHISM I REPEAT HOUSTON, WE HAVE A SCHISM

Therefore, this Dicastery, in the faithful exercise of the functions entrusted to it, considers it necessary to state that this act constituted the delict of schism, with the canonical consequences for the sacred ministers and lay faithful involved. Indeed, as was already declared in 1988, "such disobedience-which implies in practice the rejection of the Roman primacy—constitutes a schismatic act" (cf. John Paul II, Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Dei, 3).

There. Now I can go back to my real work.

A page from an imaginary script of the show CUSHING: reading

"Dr Frankenstein BACKHANDS Cushing, sends him tumbling over the table, As he scrambles to his feet he shouts to Catherine:
CUSHING: OUT! Ge tthe others out!
Catherine bolts, Dr, Frankenstein moves to follow, but Cushing SMASHES a lantern across his skull. The mad doctor, now empowered with the full strength of the Prometheus serum, whirls, grabs Cushing by the throat, and lifts him clean off his feet.
DR. FRANKENSTEIN: Now you DIE! Z eirony is delicious, is it not, FALSE FRANKENSTEIN?!
Cushing hammers at Dr. Frankenstein's wrist, but can't break his rion grip. The flames around them rise higher --

Dr. Frankenstein suddenly chokes, He spit sblood once, then twice, the second time a great GOUT of blood spilling down onto his chest. He releases Cushing and falls heavily to the floor
REVEAL CHRISTOPHER LEE
Standing behind the doctor with a long, bloody knife. Cushing rubs his neck, claps Lee on the shoulder.
CUSHING: Nice timing.
CHRISTOPHER LEE: (arches an eyebrow) Not the first time I've used a knife to kill a German, old boy.

GNU Terry Pratchett, whose words will echo long after we, and our children, and our children’s children have moved on thank you, as always, for making me a better person (quote from Reaper Man)

No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence.
