Against a black background, a bloodstained ladder with a yellow and blue rag tied to it stands next to the words BEAR WITNESS, written vertically in white

A wooden sign on a deserted desert road reads welcome to TCP in trans colour.

A figure in a camo t-shirt and a parachute harness throws up the finger guns as he dives, shades, finger guns and sculpted hair first down a blue image peppered with clouds, land and opponents, next to the word DROP SHOT.

Billy Preston and his band perform Nothing from Nothing in a recording studio.

Someone else has done the deed, so my like may now be recorded for posterity.

The Unbroken Check out The Unbroken - <b>On the far outreaches of a crumbling desert empire, two women--a princess and a soldier--will haggle over the price of a nation in this richly imagined, breath-taking sapph...

Excitingly, it’s worth noting that The Unbroken ebook is on sale for $2.99 in the US! Maybe in other places, too. And while yes, that means it is on sale at Amazon, it is also on sale at bookshop.org! So if you haven’t started the trilogy that includes straps, threesomes, and crumbling empires…well!

Tried something new with this one. Pretty happy with it.

I went back to add a like to the original post, but it currently has exactly 69 so, nope.

Any castle, no matter how grand, may be improved by the addition of a Very Floofy Corgi.

Proof:

SOME BODY LIKE ME is full of hope despite dealing with some horrible themes (enslavement of intelligent beings during humanity's final days). Lapinska's sensitive, thoughtful style brings Abigail to life and leaves the reader in no doubt about her personhood and right to be her own self.

Urgh, I have *such* a horrible snotty cold. Pity me!

The very goodest of boys! 😍

His floof is mighty.

Oof and urgh. May everything settle soon.

Guy, I'm begging you.

Oh yeah, this one's good!

Thempathy?
All Seeing Eye? (Aye?)

Oh, yes, same!

(Also Skyrim, Death Stranding, Baldur's Gate 3, Slay the Spire, Gardenscapes.)

Oh god, no, not again.

Guy, if you have even a shred of mercy, please, stop.

(He'd be banana flavoured. Argh.)

Many happy thingies of the whatsit AK!

Everyone else - try their books, they're really good!

For. Fuck's. Sake.

The other one I recommend all the time is En Clair (which you may already have had from Alasdair): meticulously researched deep-dive corpus linguistics studies backed up with a ton of extra material. There's an option with no effects or music that I found easier to process.

Lingthusiasm A podcast that's enthusiastic about linguistics by Gretchen McCulloch and Lauren Gawne. Weird and deep conversations about the hidden language patterns that you didn't realize you were already making....

Have you found Lingthusiasm? I'm enjoying it a lot on long car journeys, and they give lots of references and follow-up info on their website. (Warning: the audio levels are unpleasantly unbalanced for the first several episodes, until they get a better mic for Gretchen.)

I'm (I guess?) too small to be in the dataset, but it's ever so pretty.

I have carefully read all the other responses and fail to understand why, in a year in which the first of February fell on a Sunday, not one of your esteemed correspondents has considered: Forest Hill.

This thread did not go where I thought it would, and is well worth a read.

I personally would perpetrate both crimes and misdemeanours to see Mark Sheppard host the Muppet Show.
