I often see folk getting interested in high fantasy because of LOTR or Game of Thrones, asking where curious newbies can start, - & then my feed refreshes and I lose them before I can reply. So, here: it's Robin Hobb. ROBIN HOBB. Robin Super-Goddamn Hobb. *Nobody* writes characters like she does.

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

Back in the old days in #Orkney, the thing that crows were *most* terrified of was being called a cad or a bounder by a dapper gentleman in a top hat. 🎩 #PhotographicArchives

Soms heb ik het idee dat ik als ik in een café zit een bezienswaardigheid ben. Afgelopen zondag was het weer zover. Ik werd gespot door een stel jonge hardloopsters die even waren neergestreken. 'Kijk, die man leest een boek.' 'Oh mijn god, hij kijkt hij op zijn telefoontje naar teletekst!'

My brother gave me the T-shirt as a birthday present. I started my career at Dutch teletext (subtitling). And I have an active dislike of fascists. So the present was well received.

The best of takes on Clacton. (www.threads.com/@natedaleymu...)
Post on Threads by natedaleymusic on the Farage by-election: 

"I can’t lie. I’m hooked.

I just want to see just how well a joke candidate, with no real policies, a seemingly thin grip on reality, and who seems more concerned with being a talking point and making a farce of the democratic process than actually serving local residents, fares against Count Binface."
