Lady attends American football game. Impressed by the cheerleaders, who are young men. I am now curious about history of cheerleading and gender distribution.

Lady is not fond of tea and rarely takes it. Shocking revelation tbh.

Lady is like "gosh, there are as many men as women at this big party!" because in Britain, there's a lot less men due to so many dying in the Great War.

It's the Chicago World's Fair, which means there's a nonzero chance that the Provincial Lady crossed paths with notorious serial killer HH Holmes. I mean, she probably didn't.

Provincial Lady is advised that it's dangerous to go out in Chicago without a revolver, thinks it would probably be more dangerous if she went out with one.

Second Provincial Lady book, published 1932, has her and a friend joke about how an acquaintance might be a lesbian with a reference to The Well of Loneliness.

Discussing how there are cultural differences in preferred weapons, author notes that the British inflict and sustain a disproportionate number of pint glass based injuries. It would not have occurred to me to describe the pint glass as a traditional British weapon but I find I cannot argue with it.

"omega used to mean something now everyone calls everyone an omega…" The good old days when ascribing a made up gender to a fictional character really meant something.

Reading Diary of a Provincial Lady. Some forty pages after her husband firmly refuses the acquisition of a new cat, he is found hanging out in the linen closet with it, eating cheese. Men and the cats they said they didn't want is also a persistent thing, it seems.

"Query: Does not a misplaced optimism exist, common to all mankind, leading on to false conviction that social engagements, if dated sufficiently far ahead, will never really materialise?" Upper middle class European ladies of the 1920s not so different from us.

Sometimes in fic you can unexpectedly present as an omega and also omegas have pussies but I have yet to see details on what it's like to have a vagina suddenly erupt.

It's so funny reading about Neolithic archaeology and they say things like "looks like this experiment at plant domestication failed, petering out after a few thousand years". Damn your standards are high.

Also I didn't catch that the leads were being sarcastic when he said "nah we're cousins" and so it was like another half hour when I realised that I wasn't losing my mind, both leads were Michael B Jordan.

One Battle After Another is very much the kind of movie the Academy loves (and TBF is apparently very good) but god damn I loved Sinners. So sad I caught on to it too late to see it in IMAX.

Apparently Knox claimed that during an audience with the Pope they spent half an hour talking about the Loch Ness Monster.

Although there's also Weeping Cedars, in which I think they failed to stop the evil and the town was sucked into hell or something. It was kinda artsy and I'm honestly a little unclear on what the fuck happened. I've listened to it twice and enjoy the confusing experience.

Once in a while it would be nice if they went "holy shit we failed to stop the ritual and tentacle monsters are eating Paris. Our next season will be Dispatches from the War Against Whatever The Fuck That Is".

As someone who enjoys podcasts about investigations into shit that turns spooky, it's a shame they almost always peter out into "there's definitely a world ending magical cult that we've temporarily defeated but we have no concrete proof of any of it so I guess it's back to the status quo".

I'm just saying that putting a Viking longship in Bronze Age Greece is misleading audiences and the director should consider the full weight of the consequences!

"In 1951, Pope Pius XII appointed Knox protonotary apostolic ad instar, which entitled Knox to the honorific "monsignor", and then "He is remembered for his "Ten Commandments" for detective stories, which sought to codify a form of crime fiction". He contained multitudes.

OK I just looked up Ronald Knox, the satirist who wrote and performed this, and I was absolutely not expecting him to be a priest, theologian and classicist who produced a translation of the Bible. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_...

Today I learned that Welles' War of the Worlds was preceded in 1926 by a satirical radio play broadcast on the BBC about a socialist uprising in Britain that concluded with the BBC being stormed. The general public were alarmed and one listener contacted the Admirality to demand the Navy weigh in.

Like this t-shirt with The Glorification of the Giustiniani Family. A ceiling mural designed to make it appear you're staring up into an open sky. Now on your back so people can stare through you into infinity.

Listening to a podcast where the dude's like "approaching the New World in the 1600s was terrifying. Now I was only ten but I came from London so I had seen my fair share of horror!" Really puts it into perspective.

Dreamed I was being snuggled by a huge invisible spider, like border collie sized. It was a surprisingly chill experience. Like I wanted it to stop but I could be reasonable about requesting assistance to moderate its affection.

Had a bewildering dream last night where something I was reading suddenly turned out to be Bakugo Katsuki/Derek Hale, and I woke and searched for my talking pillow to tell this to my online friend of a decade ago but could not find it so just posted a reminder to myself I guess.

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

NO WAR WITH IRAN!
The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West.
You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together
& we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you
& your government is much bigger than the difference
between you & me.
And the difference between me
& my government is much bigger
than the difference
between me & you.
And our governments are very much the same...

To be entirely fair it's possible he's never seen a bios battery run down as it's fairly unusual to keep a motherboard for over ten years.
