I never did find out what the covered bridge going from the 4th floor of the bell tower to the 2nd floor of the rookery meant! 😊 Also, the Winterfell wall path taken in, around,up & paradoxically ending on ground level echoes the House of the Undying’s ‘always up, always the door to your right’…

@outerpanda.bsky.social @rustedrevolver.bsky.social Someone on fb pointed out that the word ‘enigmas’ is an anagram for the French word ‘gamines.’ @virginie.bsky.social Can you confirm the meaning of ‘gamine’?

George RR Martin has given me hundreds of hours of entertainment. There have been times in my life where obsessing about his worlds prevented me from obsessing and spiraling about my own. He owes us nothing. If he doesn’t write another word, I owe him a profound debt.

“I trust you enjoyed the journey, Your Grace?” 

Robert snorted. “Bogs and forests and fields, and scarcely a decent inn north of the Neck. I’ve never seen such a vast emptiness. Where are all your people?” 

“Likely they were too shy to come out,” Ned jested. He could feel the chill coming up the stairs, a cold breath from deep within the earth. “Kings are a rare sight in the north.” 

“More likely they were hiding under the snow. Snow, Ned!” The king put one hand on the wall to steady himself as they descended. 

“Late summer snows are common enough,” Ned said. “I hope they did not trouble you. They are usually mild.” 

“The Others take your mild snows,” Robert swore. “What will this place be like in winter? I shudder to think.” 

“The winters are hard,” Ned admitted. “But the Starks will endure. We always have.”

Care for us? True indeed! They ne’er car’d for us yet. Suffer us to famish, and their store-houses cramm’d with grain; make edicts for usury, to support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act establish’d against the rich, and provide more piercing statutes daily to chain up and restrain the poor.

This part of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's latest newsletter reminds me why I subscribe 🔥 (remember, all Substacks also have an RSS feed). It’s in response to a question on why tech companies are "so desperate to shove AI down our throats”. The newsletter: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/your-quest...
SK: I lack words to describe how much I hate AI. Perhaps AI will come up with some plagiarized ones to provide me.

I had a nightmare that all new phones came with cameras that refused to capture reality. Instead, they changed photos to AI without telling you. As a result, your memory deteriorates, and as time passes, you never know if what you saw is real. Now that was just a dream — but it’s in line with the future tech oligarchs are designing. They want control not only over your material possessions and political activity but your imagination and privacy. Guard them with your life. Avoid AI as much as possible. They want to replace you and make you its servant and *their* servants. They are not only trying to annihilate reality, but to make reality so unattractive that you will not mind it being replaced. They seek to create the ideal fascist subjects: pliant, uncreative, unnoticing.

I no longer know how to get accurate information except from direct witnesses who have proven to be reliable over time. But also trust your own observations — and write them down, because everything is designed to make you doubt your own recollections.

Gosses Bluff, known as Tnorala, also holds my favourite Indigenous Australian oral story as well, as to how the crater formed. It's a bit of a sad story, but it really does showcase how the oral traditions of Aboriginal astronomers is tied to the sky. arxiv.org/abs/1306.0278 🧪
Gosses Bluff, called Tnorala in the Western Arrernte language (Figure 1), is registered as a
sacred site. Herman Malbunka was the custodian of the Tnorala story. Upon his death, his
wife, Mavis, became the caretaker (kurturngula) of the story. The story of Tnorala is now
well known due to documentaries and film dramatisations, mainly for the fact that the
Aboriginal story mirrors the scientific explanation of the crater. According to Mavis
Malbunka (Thornton, 2007), in the Dreaming a group of eight women took the form of stars
and danced in a corroboree (ceremony) in the Milky Way. One of the women was carrying a
baby and placed him in a coolamon (or turna - a type of wooden basket) and set him on the
Milky Way. As the woman went back to continue dancing with the others, the turna slipped
off the Milky Way. The baby struck the earth and was covered by the turna, the force of
which drove the rocks upward, forming the mountain range we see today. The baby’s mother,
the evening star, and
