"What is Shangri-La?" Cornelius Bear edition
Added 2024-11-16 18:00:08 +0000 UTCIn this installment of the "What is Shangri-La" series, Roast Beef interviews the one denizen of Achewood who might actually have some advanced and well-considered ideas on the matter.
Previous interviewees have been Ray, Peter H. "Nice Pete" Cropes, and the unlikely duo of Philippe + Lyle.

the vibe i get off cornelius is that he trusts beef is coming at him from a place of respect even if itd be easier to talk to beef if he at least got through the count of monte cristo i imagine connies line is between an ereader because the written word is the written word regardless of the medium carrying it and watching a film made from the book because if youve outsourced your imagination to hollywood its not like theres any full time staff left inside your skull

2024-11-16 23:26:07 +0000 UTCOne of my greatest disappointments of recent times is seeing that Beef refers to twitter as X with neither a trace of irony nor of having been paid to do so.

Ada Palmer* has used this idea in her books; the confluence makes me happy. *science-fiction novelist, when she's not a being history professor so cool she has her students LARP a papal election as a capstone exercise or composing a capella operas based on contemporary scholarship in Norse mythology.** She has a following among the Facebook chochachos, too. **this is not bullshit.
