„will last a lifetime. Turn the pages, and let your adventure begin.

If you want, I can now write the full first chapter of the guide "Welcome to Pitigliano" in a way that pulls the reader in with vivid, modern, and practical insights for 2026.
Do you want me to do that next?”

By now it has become something of a routine: the first 50% of a novel I know exactly what's supposed to happen, but I have no idea what the book is actually *about* I'm at 50% now

Late #fairwaterfriday with what might be my favorite motive: The Silvership. A juvenile fantasy that combined all the emblems that were important to me in another life. And once again, @cfsrebalus.bsky.social ennobles my scribble with her unique style. Love that dragonfly ship, and everything else.

If "the political center" means "not changing the status quo", it's not a sign of temperance it's not even a center it's the express political goal of the people that profit from it

Post on r/askhistorians from 7 hours ago: At what point in history could chicken nuggets realistically have been made?

post redirecting user to post from r/trevor_culley from 4 years ago

There's really not much to chicken nuggets. Ground chicken mashed into a small clump, breaded, and deep fried. Everything you need for a basic, no frills chicken nugget would have been available to you in the Indus Valley Civilization by at least 3500 BCE if not earlier.

Let's start with chicken because that's kind of crucial. Red jungle fowl were first captured and kept by humans in their native region of southeast Asia and the neighboring islands (ie Indonesia) around 8000 BCE. Strictly speaking, these weren't chickens yet because domestication is a long process, but the novelty of this cool new bird spread quickly and red jungle fowl arrived near the Ganges River by about 7000 BCE. By 4000 BCE, true domestic chickens were being raised and eaten in the Indus Valley, just as the early signs of agriculture and urbanization were starting up.

Those early signs of agriculture included the introduction of domesticated wheat, which had been spreading across the world from its own starting point with early agriculture in Anatolia and upper Mesopotamia around 10,000 BCE. Basically from the start, wheat was ground up into flower, mixed with water, and cooked into some very basic bread. So both flower and bread crumbs are available now too, though the bread was usually flatbread, so expect a different texture.

India is home to all sorts of herbs and spices you could use to add flavor, but the only thing I think would probably be crucial to your chicken nugget breading is salt. Not to worry though, the ruined city known today as Kerala-no-dhoro has you covered. Located on the coast of modern Gujarat and founded around 3700 BCE, it was a center of salt production by collecting and evaporating sea water.

(Answer goes on for another 2000 characters but I'm approaching the word limit)

I think I hate "tropes" "Tropes" are what happens when social media spills its hashtags over literature Tropes are useful for talking *about tropes*, but not for classifying texts It's like describing cuisines by listing ingredients #tomatoes #potatoes or sorting music by #drumroll #reprise

I'm looking for budget over-ear headphones. They don't need to have any special stuff. Probably Bluetooth, but that's about it. I'm tempted to choose a brand I'm familiar with (as opposed to made-up Chinese brands on Amazon) and the choice seems to be JBL vs. Sony. Any thoughts? Other options?

A tedious amount of atrocities in human history was committed over questions of dick: where people should put it, if one should cut it, why putting it somewhere was better than having it put, why dicks should rule the world but God was born without any dick action
