Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 05/06/2025I had to reply to a Christian calling Pride month "a celebration of the deadliest sin" (i.e. pride) I thought I'd save it here for reference: There are two things called "pride". One of them is the opposite of humility: it's a form of idolatry, replacing God with the self. #pridemonth #pride 130
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 26/05/2025This is the monospace #font I made for the command line in the 1992 game Lord Avalot d'Argent. I've just converted it to OpenType under the name "Ordsall". I think it's a rather pleasing font, though it needs further cleaning up and many more glyphs. marnanel.org/projects/ord... 040
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 17/05/2025This has to be satire, right…? Oh wait, there are people who think "Hallelujah" is about Christmas. And that "Zombie" is about Halloween. And that "Every Breath You Take" is about cherishing a partner And that "The Keeper" is about shooting deer. And that "Blackbird" is about blackbirds. And… 030

Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 17/04/2025Weird thing: late last week, YouTube decided to show 80000 people a clip from "Soap" I uploaded three years ago. Almost as many views since then as in the decade before. It's even pushed me almost halfway to monetisation level (which shows you how difficult it is to get YouTube to pay people). 020

Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 08/04/2025These stories are all true, unless they're not. I can't say, because they fade away-- like bad dreams, like the stench of pipe tobacco, like the ruins of a school. 010
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 08/04/2025I wish they'd told me. I'd have loved to walk among the broken ruins of the place. Listen, I'd say to the twisted steel and the heaps of asbestos. Look. This is the end of all the stories. I'm still here. You're dead. That means I win. 110
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 08/04/2025Don't go looking for Briarfield. It's not there. Maybe it never was. At least, I'd like to hope so. The borough council saw sense, and razed the place at last. Maybe they'll build something useful. #comics #briarfield 110
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 30/03/2025"Oops, there goes a billion kilowatt dam" — There are in fact seven dams worldwide with a capacity over one gigawatt. Most of them are in China; the others are in South America. There would be more if it wasn't for that damn sheep. 000
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 28/03/2025The perspective on that A is messing with my head. It sticks out of the front of the mask like a sort of beak 030
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 14/03/2025AI will happily talk nonsense. Pasting an AI's answer as a reply is obvious, and makes you look a fool. I had someone pull this trick on me today. Hence the comic. 020
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 13/03/2025Page 534: a snail ("limax"). In modern biology, "Limax" is the type genus of slugs. In medieval Latin, it could also refer to snails. I think that might be the start of a sketch of a slug above it. 100
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 13/03/2025Page 534: a lynx ("linx"). Like a wolf, except that its urine dries out into a kind of precious stone called "ligurius" (actually a kind of amber or tourmaline, I think). The lynx is aware that humans want its urine, and therefore buries it. We dig it up again. 100
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 13/03/2025Page 533: a hare ("lepus"), which has long ears to protect its eyes, because it has no eyelids. Bartolomeus treats rabbits as a kind of hare. 100
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 13/03/2025Page 533: a leopard ("leopardus"). The offspring of a lion and a "pard" (a panther)-- so Bartolomeus says. 110
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 28/02/2025* click "Ask seller" * put "Hi de hi?" (No, really, don't: you'll just annoy them needlessly. I shouldn't need to say this but I suspect I do) 000
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 27/02/2025At the @peopleshistory.bsky.social to hear some of the founders of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. (You might know their stories from the film Pride.) An important moment in British history that continues to change the world today. #solidarityforever 0101
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 19/02/2025I went to look. It doesn't look much like *that* logo. I mean I expect they could probably legally trade in Germany. 110
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 17/02/2025Page 533: lions ("leo"). Lots of lions. One of them has a crown on, because he's the king of beasts. Lionesses ("leena") are fiercer than lions, says Bartolomeus, and they have to be in order to guard their cubs. 100
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 17/02/2025Page 532 (not an illustration of Bartolomeus's text): the scribe has doodled this fellow called "hom". I've balanced the colours so you can see the lines better. 100
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 17/02/2025Page 531: hedgehogs ("hiricus"). They can climb apple trees and grapevines, and get the fruit stuck on their prickles. And that's how they get it home to their families. 100
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 17/02/2025Page 531: hyenas ("hiena"). I don't know what the hyena in the picture is doing. It looks like it belongs to an early version of @cavalorn.bsky.social 's Leopards Eating People's Faces party. 110
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 16/02/2025A while back I created a font called Perverse Sans. It's a fork of Liberation Sans, with the addition of a glyph that looks identical to the word "won't". This glyph is a ligature for the four letters "will". The result is that any time the word "will" appears in this font, it displays as "won't". 2114
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 14/02/2025Mozilla's example for the "box-shadow" CSS property is excellent. Nice to see the Maya Angelou quote earlier, too. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W... 061
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 12/02/2025Page 530: a fawn ("hinnulus"). His mother hides him in caves, and teaches him to jump over bushes. If you cover yourself with his sweat or his blood, no snakes will come near you that day. (I suspect no humans will come near you either.) 111
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 12/02/2025Page 530: a grillus. What's that? I don't know. Bartolomeus says: - it's a little feeble beast - with venomous spikes - nocturnal - lives in a burrow - smaller than a cirogrillus The cirogrillus is mentioned in various bestiaries; Bartolomeus thinks it's a hedgehog. See doi.org/10.23734/WSC... 122
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 12/02/2025Page 530: a dormouse ("glires"). (For no reason I can tell, Bateman adds a footnote here that some guy called Andrew Theued went to the West Indies and found venomous bats as big as eagles. Right-oh.) 110
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 12/02/2025Then page 530 has this glorious griffin ("grifes"). It hides in the mountains, hoards gold, and eats people. Bateman adds a wry note that there are griffins in England which hoard more gold and kill more people, and we call them bankers. 120
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 09/02/2025Throwback: in 2018 I made this meme of the Eagles carrying the #SuperbOwl 032
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 09/02/2025Lastly, per LA Times 1929-02-19: In November 1928, a man named M R Hadley was walking through a railway yard in Corcoran, California, when he was hit by a train. He died three months later in his home in Lindsay, aged 59. No word on what he was doing in the railway yard. 100
Marnanel Thurman @marnanel.org · 09/02/20251903-08-31: It seems that popular opinion was in his favour. The jury was discharged. 100
