The inventor of contact lenses was born in my city. His name was Adolf Gaston Eugen Fick and it is a true shame the lenses were not named after him. Missed branding opportunity of galactic proportions.

The most impressive thing about The Score by @add-hawk.bsky.social is that it manages to never mention David Graeber's quote "The ultimate, hidden truth of the world is that it is something that we make, and could just as easily make differently." while arguing the same thing in detail.

I really love Malazan, I have lots opinions on it too. I've read the 10 Malazan Book Of The Fallen novels three times so far and there's a lot to discover every time I go back.

Did another thing that's partly me complaining that blind people can't rely on upcoming release lists because there's no way to know if there'll be an audio book. Also me being happy Buda's Wagon finally gets an audio version. youtu.be/5jBDdQyoWnU
