Some scholars claim C.L. Nolan‰Ûªs book for children ‰Û÷A Dreamer‰Ûªs Wanderings In The Land Of Nod‰Ûª are influenced by his former ether addiction and membership of The Etherists Club in Paddington. Having read it, I think they must have Masters in the Bloody Obvious. – #MattAdams, 1980

@azrael2393 An additional problem with idol worship malarkey – aside from the self-harm to empowerment and growth – is its bolstering of gatekeeping culture. It is no coincidence pricks like Warren Ellis end up gatekeeping and trying to make their genres even more tolerant of pisspuffinry.

@azrael2393 That man is such an obvious and odious shitlark. Aside from throwing curses around and being high off of his own exhaust fumes, he really does throw out a man-most-likely-to-be-a-mass-shooter vibe.

@TheSandlings One of the true marks of a good story is that it holds multiple valid readings, that its layering only gives itself up after re-readings. All of Wells at his best, does that for me.
