CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

ISILDUR: true

There goes the rest of my night.

I'm reading a book at the moment with alternate timelines...and spent this weekend convinced I wore my favourite jumper into London.
Couldn't find it this morning, and went to the effort of checking lost property at a few places I stopped. Only to find it on my sofa at home. Timeline switcheroo?

When all is lost,
Never fear,
This dog lights the way with cheer.

The Fortnite/Peacemaker saga is illustrative of how utterly reductive most IP use in games is. Commodification of characters and stories with so little respect for the source works that ‘oops we put a [spoiler] in a kid’s game’ is an actual outcome.

Each day at 5:12 pm, we gather under the portrait of the King of Cats. It is said that His heir is among us, plotting a return to the old ways.

There are many fine creatures within.

It was the forty-second day of my voyage when I spotted a most remarkable fish. It had glorious crimson fins. Its torso was black and white like a cow. When I mentioned this fact to my assistant, the fish was most offended.
“I think you’ll find those dimwitted creatures stole the look from me.”

This cat is a master of disguise. It can become one with the shadows themselves. It just chooses not to. How can it make its displeasure known, if it is not sure I will see it?

I didn't plan it, I have simply accidentally activated a summoning circle.

The sercat ‘tis a most elusive beast. Some say it was forged by alchemy. Others say it is a gift from the heavens. Whatever the truth, when the Sercat chooses you, good fortune will always follow.

When I needed wisdom, it came to me in the form of two dogs. I knew it was them because the hint of flame still lingered in their coats.

At our darkest hour, my family seeks the oracle. Each time it manifests in different forms. My great-great-great-grandmother received wisdom from a flaming bird. My aunt spoke with the fire in her woodland cottage.

I think I just discovered the perfect hack to flood my feed with cute animal pictures.

“ We have it fact discovered that the world warps itself to fit around a cat named Ciri.” Their chief scientist said. “The research took so long because we kept stopping to boop her nose.”

Scientists at the University of Bogna Regis stunned the world when they announced that the popular theorem “ If it fits, I sit” was incorrect.
