Q: Hello Mister Sapkowski,

How do gnomes and dwarves live together in Mahakam (especially in the capital)? Do they live in a big city together, or do gnomes have their own place? Or is it one on top, the other below?

A: No idea. None of the plots I've created required such information, so there hasn't been any, and there probably never will be. To clarify for the future, which would also apply to other questioners: please ask me about what is in the books, not about what is not. If something isn't there, it's for two reasons: a. the reader doesn't need that information because it is not essential to the plot, b. the author intends for that information to remain a secret from the reader. In both cases, as you can probably understand, I won't answer any questions.

Most modern fantasy writers would answer this question, whether or not they'd given it much thought. Sapkowski flatly will not and resents you asking him about it

Not only that, it was a *highly* specific version of it used by a *specific* very very very horrible division of their army in WW2!

It's becoming chillingly clear: an administration that gleefully dismantled USAID and consigned countless people to slow death by starvation and preventable disease will not hesitate to inflict hunger on tens of millions of Americans by cutting off SNAP funds.

There are no examples of genocidaires willingly ending a genocide and Israel is no exception. Unless Israel is turned into a pariah state and diplomatic and trade relations severed, the genocide will continue.

Character is sitting on a throne made of giant tentacles, she has a wolf's skull with horns. She's doing the sign of the horns with her left hand. The character is also dressed in a very fancy getup consisting of a corset with peacock feathers, a tuxedo jacket and stripped pants. There's a halo made of daggers behind her head.

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

Some thoughts from my new piece:

Deaths caused by Funding Discontinuation

credible modeling from impactcounter.com shows that trump and musk have killed nearly 600,000 people with their illegal cuts to date.

nearly 400,000 of them were children.

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

None of this true. There's an emergency fund they aren't tapping. Undocumented immigrants cannot access federal backed health insurance - their only access to federal healthcare is via emergency rooms. And I'm not touching the anti-trains shit beyond saying it's anti-trans shit.

remarkable how much conservatism lowers the bar for everything. if you had to boil an undergrad course on the naval history of WW2 down to a test with one question, they found a retired naval officer who's already failed it

After 36 years and over 383 issues of the manga BERSERK it appears the question of how Guts will overcome the omnipotent power of the Godhand and save the world is going to be... Vedic Hinduism!
