Zoozve, my beloved
"...we don't live in a big clockwork, we live in a dance club..."
This is my favorite line.
I have learned so many things from this.

> walk into a pizza place > there's no visible menu > "how do you get the menu?" > "you have to scan the QR code" > "is that the only way?" > "yes" > walk out of the pizza place
fortunately there was another pizza place nearby that I already knew to be perfectly good and to not pull this bullshit. I got barbecue chicken, and it was delicious
if offering the convenience of directly providing a menu is too much trouble for a place to bother with, I have to assume that offering good food is also too much trouble for them
I am currently in Philly, PA for a concert I bought tickets for while at home in the UK.
The concert tickets require an app that my phone will not download because it's region locked. Fortunately, my gf's phone works just fine.
Imagine I was travelling on my own. Fuck this digital-centric shite.
Gilpin.
So I'm playing Darkest Dungeon. This is my third attempt at it - the first time I gave up in frustration, the second time because IRL stress was being made worse by in-game stress.
I have a Hellion named Gilpin. Gilpin has been in my list of heroes since the first month or so of the game. She's had a rough time - just shortly after reaching her champion status, she was called into battle against a bandit invasion. The rest of her squad all died due to the incompetence of their commander (i.e. me), leaving her the sole survivor.
Gilpin went on to prove herself time and again, defeating the Necromancer Lord in pitched battle before taking the fight to the Darkest Dungeon itself, where she dispatched the Shuffling Horror alongside a squad of trusted team-mates (one of whom, Corviser, is no longer with us).
All that time, Gilpin has been wary of the bandits returning. She kept watch, waiting for their banner showing over the horizon. She trained in several disciplines. She trained new comrades. She found love at the local brothel, where she'd return after the harshest battles. She waited. And waited.
Until finally, one day after Gilpin and her squad finally defeated the Siren who stalked the shores of the cove, the bandits came. Gilpin saw them, but had nothing left to give. She could not take her revenge. It was time to trust her comrades, and let those she had fought beside take the revenge in her place.
Anyway, this is to shame her for not only spending that battle getting absolutely railed , but losing a very pricey piece of gear in the process.

Me, attempting the hardest fight in Monster Hunter:
Did someone say hard?
Always wanted to give it a try.

Oh, Merely Passing By.
You did more than enough flying for one lifetime.
Now.
Your guns don't fire. Your engine doesn't thrum.
But when I speak of that day, when I point to the singes on your hull, the dents and the claw marks...
People have no doubt that once, you soared.

Definitely not a bunch of capitalist space bats. Just some guys who do business in Fallen London.

my dad just exploded into laughter out of nowhere and told me ‘imagine the lion king but with sea lions’ he has been chuckling about it for 5 straight minutes now
apparently it doesn’t matter that i’ve told him 10 times it’s the monkey who raises the newborn and not the lion himself, this is the scene he has been imagining
“he can’t raise his kid over his head”

The Woman Behind The World’s Most Famous Tarot Deck Was Nearly Lost In History
For centuries, people of all walks of life have turned to tarot to divine what may lay ahead and reach a higher level of self-understanding.
The cards’ enigmatic symbols have become culturally ingrained in music, art and film, but the woman who inked and painted the illustrations of the most widely used set of cards today – the Rider-Waite deck from 1909, originally published by Rider & Co. – fell into obscurity, overshadowed by the man who commissioned her, Arthur Edward Waite.
Now, over 70 years after her death, the creator Pamela Colman Smith has been included in a new exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York highlighting many underappreciated artists of early 20th-century American modernism in addition to famous names like Georgia O’Keeffe and Louise Nevelson.
