Celebrating Tolkien's birthday by walking from DC to Denver to return some jewelry.
1 month in, 500 miles trudged. Awoke in hidden vale of Dollywood -- have slipped in and out of consciousness since that bad business at the Weathertop bar in Lynchburg.

Hot dude mops my brow. "Are you ... an elf-friend?" he asks.

"Oh gurl we don't call ourselves that anymore."
"What happened to you, darlin'?" he asks, in the Common Speech, though inflected with the soothing drawl of his people.

"I think someone spiked my drink," I say. "Back in Lynchburg. At Weathertop."

"Ah know that place," he says. "We call it Weathered Tops." Giggles.

For an upcoming PCHH we're revisiting some of our old opinions on stuff we've discussed, to talk about what we've since come around on/now value less.

Thing is: I've scrolled through the archives, and I honestly can't come up with something I've changed my mind about ...
... besides FROZEN, sort of, and we've already talked about that.

So have it: What have I gotten wrong? What made you want to scream at me in the car/on the train/while walking the dogs?

(No, I'm not changing my mind about MARY POPPINS RETURNS, so that's off the table.)
(Maybe I will someday! When my blood sugar's so low I need to chug a liter or 6 of cinematic Mountain Dew! BUT NOT THIS DAY!)

There are three straight dudes tossin’ the ol’ pigskin around on the beach and one of them has a normal human body but the other two have 3 percent body fat gymnast V backs I call them sean and cody
Sean and Cody can’t throw for shit but the normal dude - let’s call him the least gay-porny name possible ... maybe ... Bob? ... fires the ball like it’s a cannon and catches their wobbly-ass tosses by like diving into the sand
Sean just called Cody “bro” and remarked on his abs (which ARE remarkable) and I know how this scene ends I’ve seen it many times oh poor Bob let Bob do craft services or whatever

Really enjoying this #novel being published day by day, using Github for #transparency on edits and creation, with a changelog and all. See the creative process! 🛠

jevakallio.github.io/NaNoWriMo/

I might have made a couple of pull requests for typos. 💁‍♀️

@wallet_novel #nanowrimo
@wallet_novel Which also makes me wonder how much of our sophisticated development workflow that we take for granted we could share with others disciplines who have no idea (or maybe better ideas!) 💡
But this is amazing. Git for the creative process.

Now, I want to tell you the tale of a bloke who spent his life trying to pierce the veil between the living and the dead. A bloke who many considered mad, and who was spoken in hushed tones by local villagers. A bloke born at a place called - get this - Frankenstein... /THREAD
Johann Conrad Dippel - though he often just went by Conrad - was born in 1673 in what is today the German state of Hesse. The place of his birth? Burg (or Castle) Frankenstein. A minor noble, he could afford a decent education, and trained as a theologian. /2
Dippel was a Pietist. This was a Lutheran movement that stressed personal faith above all else, & a metaphysical bent that mean that they came off as fervent, a little bit dangerous. Dippel was zealous in his beliefs, publishing pamphlets against other denominations. /3

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."

1/ #THREAD Ah, teeny tiny demographical instance of something, hastily wound up to a coy, careful kind of un-endorsement of something else, even uses paper in a medical / scientific journal to try substantiate this un-endorsement placement #Beware #BullAtWork How 'well-connected'
2/ and how reminiscent of a certain type of anti-vaccination trolling / disinformation.😬 #Questions such as: A/what percentage of the population actually use the product B/ what percentage of that specific demographic have been injured seriously, in a clinical sense or in the --
3/ particular mode described in the, eh, 'article' ? C/ So even if as seems likely this only verifiably happened to a tiny % of users,& even if the argument that it is all just public knowledge/public info. is applied so it appears to be, lets say for the heck of it, 'authentic',

Back from meetings in Brussels. There's good news and bad news. First, the bad news. Because it's... extremely bad. 1/
2/ While consensus in London seems to assume trade talks kick off in December, senior EU officials now consider this, on balance, unlikely
3/ Brussels monitors UK media & ministers' statements - they can see PM has been backtracking since Florence - ie backtracking to cliff-edge
