"Earth's increase, foison plenty,
Barns and garners never empty,
Vines and clustering bunches growing,
Plants with goodly burthen bowing;
Spring come to you at the farthest
In the very end of harvest!
Scarcity and want shall shun you;
Ceres' blessing so is on you."
—S: The Tempest

Name an author you've read 3 short stories (published after 2015) by.
Well, there's @salomekjones.bsky.social, for example.
Another one could be @lairdbarron.bsky.social.
And there's @stephenking.bsky.social of course.
And me 🤪 (…because I also write short stories.)
(via @mynachang.bsky.social)
if you like and rock / metal (és esetleg követed az @underworldmetal.bsky.social-t is), you might (still) find this funny (even if the video is a few years old by now.) :D

Just stumbled upon this album 👇🏻 by Reber Clark, and while I haven't yet had the time to listen to it in its entirety (this being my lunch break only :)), it is quite promising.
Call of Cthulhu #ttrpg Keepers (and players) and HPL readers, give it a try.
Thank you <3
I'm sorry about it making fun of you! Your eyes haven't always been bad, though, do I remember correctly?
…and here's one more, an older video, feat. David Lynch himself, and Cher

In case you missed this and if you like Lynchian stuff that might remind you of #TwinPeaks, watch this ~3 minutes video (and then, but only then read its description and maybe some of the comments.)

This is a fun game.
I'll it try again tomorrow in the morning, as I'm curious to see how lighting affects my score. (Currently it's already dark outside where I'm at, am in a room well lit by bulbs of various color temperatures.)

Filming to begin this spring: Mysteries on the Nile with Sir David Suchet!
"It’s truly exciting to have the opportunity to solve a different kind of mystery and unearth the truth about an ancient world that still impacts our everyday."

Monty Python had something like this back in 1969, albeit with Supermen and a Bicycle Repair Man (instead of a werewolf) :D

This def looks intriguing if you like Quake 1. (Q1's dark ambient industrial OST by Trent Reznor / NIN is timeless, that's for sure.)

Is it just me or would this sentence have worked quite well in a David Lynch piece as well? 🕵🏻♂️
(Imagine seeing Columbo work with -- considering his age, possibly mentoring -- Agent Cooper.)

A screenshot featuring nothing else but the following text: "Gabor Csigas That Piano In 1915, hunters found a seven meters long, two and a half meters tall piano in the woods near the observatory of B — , Hungary. It had seven pedals, 376 keys, and no strings. News reported it as an abandoned art project. With the Great War (later known as the First World War) raging on, the piano was quickly forgotten by most, and left to rot. In 1987, terrified locals heard an awful cacophony in the woods. By next morning, the piano was gone."
This #WyrdWednesday is about “Downfalls, Demises & It's All Over"...
…so here's a piece of #flashfiction by yours truly (published on 16 April 2021 at gaborcsigas.medium.com/that-piano-d... )
(I'm considering moving away from medium, btw. Ads in my text? No, thanks.)

Select paragraphs from the beginning of the text: The New York Times Hercule Poirot Is Dead; Famed Belgian Detective By THOMAS LASK Hercule Poirot, a Belgian detective who became internationally famous, has died in England. His age was unknown. Mr. Poirot achieved fame as a private investigator after he retired as a member of the Belgian police force in 1904. His career, as chronicled in the novels of-Dame Agatha Christie, his creator, was one of the most illustrious in fiction. Mr. Poirot, who was just 5 feet 4 inches tall, went to England from Belgium during World War I as a refugee. He settled in a little town not far from Styles, then an elaborate country estate, where he took on his first private case. The news of his death, given by Dame Agatha was not unexpected. Word that he was near death reached here last May. His death was confirmed by Dodd, Mead, Dame Agatha's publishers, who will put out "Curtain," the novel that chronicles his Iast days on Oct. 15.
The obituary of Hercule Poirot on the front page of The New York Times on 6 August 1975.
His death in Agatha Christie's The Curtain was deemed so momentous that he became the first fictional character to receive front page treatment in the paper.
