“I mean, your society’s broken… Should we blame the rich, powerful people who caused it? No let’s blame the people with no power & no money & these immigrants who don’t even have the vote, yeah it must be their fucking fault.”

The guy who invented being a jester:
"how do I get good at [painting]?" you may ask?
You work at it. For years. And quietly, without noticing it, you get better and better.
This is great.
Also if you have a podcast or a website or a blog or a small group of friends, I am available to be annoying to an audience.

Iain Banks died last Sunday, just before the publication of his final novel The Quarry. Last month he talked to Stuart Kelly about writing, politics and all the things still left to do . . .
Obviously I would say this, but: this is a cracking speculative fiction game, and a cracking *GMless* game, and a cracking adaptation. And it's got pangolins in it.
Take a look!

I went from reading a few books a year to around one a week. I wanted to write down how I got there, how it involved rethinking my relationship to attention, and why I believe reading books can heal your brain. I hope this gives you something useful! johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/how-i-lear...
