No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.

The wealthy author escalated a social media spat that resulted in posting a photo from a 2023 event at the Institute of Economic Affairs in

Let's not beat around the bush: Children's author JK Rowling sexually harassed someone. In some jurisdictions, this would count as sexual abuse. JK Rowling has committed a sex crime against a woman and fell back on the old rape apologist standby of "she was asking for it".

I hope your nostalgia is worth it

i can't even come up with an adequate enough comparison to describe the second-hand embarrassment i'm feeling at this moment, all that's coming to mind is that time i threw up in the school hallway in 5th grade and that was still easier to cope with than this

so the guy running in the trees when joyce and jonathan are looking for will could they have edited him out? and if yes why haven’t they?

so i’m attempting to sync watch my dvd version of st1 with the vhs edition and i got like it almost synced up but it literally has like a second delay and sounds exactly like el in the void

i got it synced up now but strangely enough the flickering lights at the lab and a few other movements of characters randomly aren’t and then it’ll sync back up it’s so weird

Seasons in vhs format coming out once every month would make actually so much sense with cokegate.

Our new coke is Tales from 85 since both were released on April 23.

We may not got an announcement of conformitygate and new epsiodes but we did get our classic coke back, in a way that makes way more sense that new episodes would.

Like think about it, what is more classic to Stranger Things, S1 that came out 10 years ago or new secret episodes we never saw?

Now if this vhs versions of Stranger Things seasons will be coming out one season every month it is perfect with cokegate.

One season per month would mean they would be released as follows:

July – S1

August – S2

September – S3

October – S4

November – S5

We also know that the second season of Tales from 85 is set to be released in October.

So, since Tales is coming in October, and IF the vhs will be released monthly, that means they will coexist.

Just as New Coke and Classic Coke coexisted on store shelves, we’ll get new Tales from 85 content at the same time we’ll maybe be getting our classic Stranger Things content (but in a VHS version).

The worst part about writing fantasy is being keenly aware that you’re writing fantasy, which means that you always have to straddle a thin three-way line between anachronism, cliche, and clunk.

Take money, for example. You can’t just have people in a fictional fantasy world walk around using Euros. You consider something generic, like ‘silver coins,’ but before you know it your world starts sounding like a shitty ren faire.

So you think about the world you’ve built and its needs and its history to come up with some unique and relevant terms. But if your terms are too unique and relevant you wind up writing “yarr, you’ll be ransomed for a hundred Trade League Silver Gyrblonks” and realize your worldbuilding is now getting in the way of basic readability.

“They’re using golden valley coins!”

…didst thou mean dollars?

“Nevermind. They’re using some basic silver coin and then enough gold to be worth ten silver coins is called a ten-piece”

…Si, si, el Peso!

Trying over, they’re minted by the king so they’re called crown coins, or, these days, abbreviated, they’re just Crowns

Naturligvis, vi skifter Daler ud med Kroner!

The Lesson Of The Day is that all the names are already claimed by IRL, and all the almost-good-names that you could invent to get around that were used by some SFF author in the seventies e.g. I bet you can’t do Suns and Moons for your gold/silver coins, I bet some author did that already.
