Canadian here. We’d pile four or five of us into a friend’s bedroom to play LBB-era Traveller. Used kitchen and dining room tables for RPGs and war games at other times.

The Aubrey-Maturin series is wonderful. I’ve read them all, and re-read most of them once or twice. And β€œMaster and Commander” is a fantastic film adaptation.

Haven’t managed to see any Smiley adaptations yet.

A Cuisinart 4-slide electronic toaster, in the midst of toasting two bagels. Just what every 19-year old boy wants lol.

"wages have been flat for decades" is an extremely simple, obviously true concept that explains about 80% of all handwringing op-eds and for some reason they just won't say that

I had no idea the mascots were married. That’s so bizarre.

I think the phrase β€œ[cultural trend, etc] has broken containment” needs to be retired immediately. Along with β€œthis changes everything” and β€œhas changed [something] forever.”

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

TD Gallery at the Toronto Reference Library Home > Programs > Exhibits & Displays TD Gallery at Toronto Reference Library TD Gallery is our main exhibit space at Toronto…

Definitely going to see the #Toronto Public Library's new exhibit about #handwriting, letters, manuscripts and so on. TIL the oldest item in TPL's possession is a 4,000-year-old cuneiform tablet.

A stack of six books in a coffee table. From the bottom: Travis Baldree’s β€œLegends & Lattes” and β€œBrigands & Breadknives,” Matt Dinniman’s β€œDungeon Crawler Carl,” Ferdia Lennon’s β€œGlorious Exploits,” Penguin’s recent β€œWeird Fiction: An Anthology” (at least, several stories within it), and Becky Chambers’ β€œTo Be Taught, If Fortunate.”

I’ve never been one for setting reading goals; I just try to always have a book on the go.

Anyway, here’s what I read in January. Clearly seeking some respite from … everything.
