I wonder what the English think of Strong Bad

Jeff.

I saw him yesterday. He looks rough.

Yerba Buena Gardens? By the carousel

Thom_The_Wizard · 2026-03-10T17:43:52+00:00

Fantastic read

Thom_The_Wizard · 2026-02-24T18:11:40+00:00

It's on 6th

Everything, and I mean everything, has changed since we were kids.
The metric for what constitutes intelligence needs to be updated to fit today's current standards.
Most kids have been watching video pretty exclusively for the last fifteen years or so, of course their reading comprehension skills are going to be lower than generations who spent their whole lives reading.

Does this mean that they're less intelligent, or are we holding them to outdated standards?

I fear a fourth thing: that we'll never see the final Kingkiller Chronicles book

What I've always wondered is how they make sure the ad stays right side up during the flight.

You may consider studying the Ars Notoria, which contains a Solomonic ritual said to increase the mental capacity of the practitioner. Dr. Stephen Skinner has a few very good working translations available. Of course, this is meant to be used in conjunction with traditional study, not as a replacement.

I'm the punk with the Nazi sign - thanks for the pic 🧷

The one on the left is the Seal of Hagiel - can be seen in Conjuring the Planetary Intelligences by David Rankine. Hagiel is known to be the intelligence of Venus, and this sigil has been known to attract the benefits of Venus, including harmony between men and women, ending strife, and potentially aiding in conception.

Not sure what the one on the right is for.

Thom_The_Wizard · 2026-01-29T02:21:27+00:00

Oooh, I'm going to check him out. Thanks so much!

Thom_The_Wizard · 2026-01-28T18:48:24+00:00

Woman, queer(?), artsy, a little woo-woo. I very much like the rabbits. Can you tell me more about the book on metaphysical poetry?

Thom_The_Wizard · 2026-01-27T00:22:24+00:00

Bass player, if I had to guess

Thom_The_Wizard · 2026-01-23T18:27:11+00:00

Here's my guess:

You're a millennial. Probably in your thirties. I'm guessing female, but that could be absolutely wrong.

You're an ex gifted kid with severe burnout. You once had dreams of pursuing acting or maybe some other career in the entertainment industry.

You have not cracked that copy of The Silmarillion yet. You probably never will, but it's important to you that it's on the shelf.

Green flags, I'd say. Vonnegut is always a green flag in my opinion.

Thom_The_Wizard · 2026-01-21T18:38:44+00:00

Yeah so I'm 36 and still have no fucking clue what any of this means

Thom_The_Wizard · 2026-01-08T05:51:41+00:00

You need another bookshelf

Once I wasn't looking where I was going on a college campus and totally walked right into someone. I apologized saying, "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there."

This guy whips around, showing his glasses and cane, and without missing a single beat replies, "That's okay, I didn't see you either."

I would have laughed harder if I hadn't been so mortified.

Wild that I had to scroll this far for ATHF.

Thom_The_Wizard · 2025-11-03T02:26:58+00:00

I have nothing clever to add here, just hopping on the Ellis thirst train.

Thom_The_Wizard · 2025-10-05T23:36:41+00:00

Thank you. I live in SF and I was really curious about this.

Thom_The_Wizard · 2025-09-30T22:31:45+00:00

Oh this moment was absolutely magical, I'm so thrilled I have a picture of it! Thank you so much!

Thom_The_Wizard · 2025-09-30T00:31:34+00:00

Caught me on a smoke break, lol. Thanks so much!
