Want to help Internet Archive's Digital Library of Amateur Radio & Communications? Are you in or around #Oakland, California? Are you available WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30?

In 2015 #InternetArchive acquired a *massive* collection of manuals, rescued from the closing Manuals Plus in Maryland. The manuals were packed up and sent to San Francisco, awaiting for a day some or all of it would be digitized. That day has come.

We need help sorting the manuals, looking for the radio-related stuff.

I love the spell "Expeditious Retreat", because it's really just generic zoomy-time, but the wizard who came up with it could only imagine one possible reason to go fast, and that's to get the heck out of whatever entirely avoidable situation they stirred up.

Compare with a spell like Ashardalon's Stride, which is one thousand percent meant for running into the midst of your foes so that you can wreck everyone all at once. Definitely not invented by a wizard.

Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital “library”.

Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

Did Shakespeare actually coin all the phrases we attribute to him, or was he just the first person to write down slang which was common among non-writers at the time?

Gosh it is frustrating that Mastodon, Bluesky, and T2 have different character limits for posts. Really makes it difficult to post a long thread to all three places. Is there a social-media-thread post editor which has features which make this less of a slog? I'd love recommendations if you have a good tool for this.

Unfortunately, since the game has only been out a few days, that wiki isn’t particularly complete, so I’m keeping my own comprehensive database in Notion. If you’re a friend and want access to my notes, send me a private message with your Notion account so that I can add you?

It didn’t take long for me to reach the point of wanting to set up my own out-of-game card-catalog to keep track of which books evoke which memories, where I’ve stored the phonograph records just waiting for me to find something which can play them, and how I plan to balance the aspects of my skills so that I can continue to decipher more and more complex books. Like Cultist Simluator, Book of Hours has its own wiki. https://book-of-hours.fandom.com/wiki/Book_of_Hours_Wiki

I bought Book of Hours by Weather Factory on release day last week. It's 10% off for the release week on Steam, and if you get it during the release week (until Aug 24), you get the "Perpetual Edition", which includes all future content and DLC for the game. According to Steam, I've played… 36 hours of this game in the last few days? That can't be right, can it? 🥺 It is *very* engrossing. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1028310/BOOK_OF_HOURS/
BOOK OF HOURS on Steam

Restore a crumbling occult library by a winter sea. Build the world’s foremost collection of grimoires and arcana. Master the invisible arts. BOOK OF HOURS is a narrative crafting RPG set in a 1930s world of hidden gods and secret histories. What sort of Librarian will you choose to be?

While away your days re-reading familiar books and reveling in the memories they surface, then learn the lessons new novels have to teach and improve your skills. Or go for a brisk walk on the moor, spend an hour beach-combing on the tidal estuary, or relax in one of Hush House’s many gardens and courtyards. And relax at home afterwards with a warm pot of second flush Assam (imported by Cater & Hero, naturally) — though coffee is available if your prefer, and whiskey if it’s getting late.
