I don't usually tell people this, but because we put out so few CS shows we have a lot of people out there who would like a new CS show,but never find out we've released one. If you know one of those people, I'd love it if you'd let them know.

"Your Majesty, your men are treating my barrels of piss and shit like it’s worth nothing. They’re mine!” The 1600s were wild. There were actual royal petitions by tanners to the kings of Europe because the petermen were coming and taking literal urine and feces barrels they were collecting.

Devotion vs. Fanaticism through #ASOIAF. Thoros, Melisandre and Lady Stoneheart. A thread. Devotion and Fanaticism are often framed as religious, but they exist outside it as well, as two ways of holding an idea. Devotion is about preserving an ideal, while fanaticism is about securing a result.

OK Computer album cover. This album is fucking awesome. If you've listened to it you know that and if you haven't then you should. It explores concepts in ways that are completely original and mind bending with brilliant musical backing. Enjoy.

Do you have any recommendations for an English TV sitcom? I've just finished Peep Show for the third or fourth time, and have seen The Inbetweeners a couple times as well. I assume Channel 4 must have more funny shows.

From Howls Moving Castle: And Sophie was suddenly overwhelmed by the fact that she was standing talking to the King. It was, she thought dizzily, as if the man sitting there and the huge, important thing which was kingship were two separate things that just happened to occupy the same chair.
