There's a map issued to Polish airmen in WW2 that has all the place names spelled phonetically because they were being given directions in English by ground control.
A map of a part of Kent & Sussex with placenames spelled phonetically for Polish speakers. Too many to list, but highlights include Heistynz (Hastings), Istbon (Eastbourne) and the magnificent Tanbrydż-Łelz (Tunbridge Wells)

Got an audiobook from the library with comes with a very detailed introduction from the author about how important all the supplementary materials are and to read carefully because there are clues everywhere. And the audiobook descriptions are stuff like “This is a picture of the website :)”

Thinking about this, I am increasingly mad about True Detective (Season 1). Either include it or fucking don’t, my dudes. If it’s the best TV shows you should be including whole shows and not cherry-picking elements.

The responses to this are a fucking masterclass in willful misinterpretation to reinforce your own values. This is the post of a man who did degree in UK where you kind of just study one subject for three years, being replied to by THE AMERICANS who do little bits of many subjects over four years

tbh I think my main thought about this is that if Carnivàle had gotten a third series it would have been top 10 (see also: Pushing Daisies not having to wrap up in a rush, and the top 50 as I adore it but realise it’s more of an acquired taste)

I think the inclusion of stuff that is still ongoing is wildly optimistic because you don’t know that it’ll stick the landing and not erode all the goodwill it’s built up through years of quality, which is also the problem of having Game of Thrones sixth.

Made my favourite pasta earlier (roast chicken and juices, garlic, parsley, cream, onions lightly browned in chicken fat and butter) which meant disassembling the weekend’s chicken carcass, which is very difficult to do with the intensity of Bird’s focus on you

6 weeks ago I booked a writer's retreat in order to "have all my great ideas for 2027". It goes without saying that after booking I immediately had all my great ideas. Now I have had to make up something to do during an isolated week in Shropshire. It's not the image below but it's nearly as stupid.

Sep 23rd - Seymour Krelborn learns that his strange plant, Audrey II, is actually "a Mean Green Mother from Outer Space" that intends to take over the world. 📽️📅 Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
3 Screenshots from the movie "Little Shop of Horrors" (1986): First, green glowing text floats on a cosmic starfield reading, "On the twenty-third day of the month of September. In an early year of a decade not too long before our own, the human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence." Second, a man in glasses and a red shirt struggles with a large white sack while a giant, carnivorous plant with an open mouth stands behind him. Third, two massive, monstrous flytrap-like plants with gaping mouths and sharp teeth loom over a cityscape at night.

A meme featuring a man wearing a red shirt and backwards red baseball cap carrying an absurdly oversized teal JanSport backpack on his back while standing on a city street.  
​Text boxes are placed over the image:
​A small white box over the man is labeled "Me".  
​A larger white box over the enormous backpack is labeled "The pervasive fear that I am doing something wrong at all times".
