Goodnight from the Kingsmere Estate, where even the local bootboys are now afraid of the dark given the latest Wish Blood shenanigans. Goodnight from Beckie Ealer, wishing she could remember the special word for divination by symbols spun into spiderwebs. Goodnight from Hookland.

That only becomes interesting to me if it is a feud with Liberace’s ghost and he has been ectoplasmically extorting Honey Boo Boo to renounce the world of reality television.

This one is not on me although I support her right to manifest the spirit of #CLNolan.

C.L. Nolan partly created because while I will pastiche the likes of Betjeman, there was no way I was going to pastiche Machen.

Blackwood and Machen - foundational teenage texts, foundational Hookland.

There is a consistent and recognisable lensing in Municipal Gothic - which I would argue has a nice bit of variation in mood and style.

Your company would be grand as soon as I can hobble. Sorry I have been so quiet. I have had a couple of TIAs which led to falls which led to some unpleasant complications.

I am old. We used to be allowed in at any point of a film and stay in theory till that point came around in the next showing. Did we use this to go to A films and stay for AA films when they switched from daytime to evening showings? Hell yes.

@owenbooth.bsky.social Pub as soon as I can walk to it? (When I will be able to walk to it depends on whether big toe has to be amputated which is yet to be decided).

I would not let β€˜AI’ write a damn thing.

Persactly so. It registers as traumatic shock the first few times. Even when you construct narratives to exclude it is anything beyond, that sense of divination as encounter/possession haunts.

I am not an academic, but even at the age of 17 I had read Ratchford and what the college library could provide of Alexander for an A-level essay and so harrumph when all this Glass Town bullshit gets pumped out that clearly has read less than I did. Harumph.

That is exactly the TV show in my head and it is probably called READING THE DEAD in the US and HARUSPEX everywhere else.

On reflection I realise are more entertaining and make better sounding garbage than most LLM outputs so I apologise to Furby lovers.

For me, divination is the moment when the cards/bones/entrails get possessed by meaning/story and boy does that song have a precise moment of that moment of possession.

Out of art, education, planning and management and just about everything else except scientific research.

One of the voices that makes this whole mad idea seem worthwhile. Thank you for being here.

America is living on three big bullshit bubbles and two of them are going to pop sometime soon (March is my prediction).
