Bio & Layout IDs

  • Icon: Part of my own painting of Thomas Jopson from AMC's The Terror. He is leaning slightly to the left, with his eyes closed and with a calm expression, smiling slightly. He is situated in front of a yellow-orange gradient background with white-blue waves behind his back. Part of the background is a sundog, which seems to form a sort of halo behind his head.
  • Header: An illustration taken from a presumably late medieval manuscript, showing various birds flying in front of a blue, starry sky.
  • My blog title is a quote from Letter No. 72 of Letters from Turkey (Törökországi levelek) by Kelemen Mikes. In original Hungarian: "A' vagyok, aki voltam, és a' leszek, aki vagyok."
  • My url is a vague reference to Ambris "The Professor" Hentadile from The Edge Chronicles, who turned into a sky creature in the last book. It's a long story.

Davechella #22: The Archaeologist

As promised by Dave in the Q&A, here’s a playlist of music Dave listened to while working on The Terror!

(we’re not going to say it’s the last one any more 😅)

For Dave’s Le Vesconte playlist, Declan Hannigan chose Aphex Twin’s “Windowlicker”.

Missed Dave’s Q&A? Never fear — you can catch up by reading the whole thing in our Discord! Drop us an email if you don’t have the link.

And if you — yes YOU — would like to be part of Terror Camp 2025, have a look at our open job postings! ❄️✨

And a few additional tracks from Dave K!

The tracks I really lamented not being able to include because they're not on Spotify are:

  • Corpoparassita's "Come Preservare L'uomo Dal Caos"
  • Darrin Verhagen's "As X-Rays"
  • EM's "Temple Ghost Simoom"
  • His Divine Grace's "Phénixologie"
  • Molasses' "Désolé" and "Vespers"
  • Nimh & Nefelheim's "Peaceless Rest"
  • Vum's "The Incandescent Tiger"
  • Zimiamvian Night's "A Little Flower In October"

I love watching movie credits like whoa all these people worked on this movie. And not one of them at any of point was like whoa don't you think this movie is perhaps too dark and you can't see shit?

i'm not invested in "harry potter was never good" conversations because it doesn't matter if it's good or not. quality does not positively correlate with socio-political praxis. it could be a really good piece of art, but if it's still supporting a vocal proponent of transmisogyny and transphobia, i don't give a shit. harry potter good or bad, who cares, its success is unambiguiously providing financial and social capital for a morally despicable person.

"„Természetes módon nem alakulhattak így a KSH jövedelmi szegénységi adatai” – kommentálta Németh Zsolt, a KSH korábbi elnökhelyettese Tátrai Annamária és Gábos András cikkünkkel együtt megjelent tudományos elemzését, amely azt mutatja meg, hogy a KSH évek óta olyan szegénységi adatokat közöl, amelyek felvetik a szakmai tévedés vagy a manipuláció lehetőségét. A 2010 és 2017 között a KSH-nál vezető pozíciót betöltő statisztikus szerint nulla a valószínűsége annak, hogy ilyen sokaknak éppen „egy hajszálnyival” a szegénységi küszöb fölött legyen a jövedelme. Írásunk annak történetét mondja el, hogyan jött rá az ELTE adjunktusa és a TÁRKI vezető kutatója, hogy furcsa dolgok történtek a szegénységi adatokkal: rengetegen átestek a szegénységi küszöbön, és éppen fölé érkeztek. Így az uniós és a hazai statisztikákban – és persze a politikai közbeszédben – már nem számítanak szegénynek. A magyar szegénységi adatok szárnyalásának és zuhanásának története."

bwhahahahahahaha :DDDDDD

"average person not szegény" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person is szegény. Épphogy nem szegény Georg, who lives in cave & is épphogy nem szegény, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

i wisely turned off the notes on this when it was at 700 but oh my god stop telling me what you "just" use it for in the notes shut the fuck up shut the fuck up I AM NOT A CATHOLIC PRIEST, I DO NOT ABSOLVE YOU. WRITE YOUR OWN EMAILS.

there should be more problems that I can cleave in twain and fewer problems that my friends and I have to quietly endure day after day and week after week and year after year

"superman is overrated" "no batman is overrated" they both are. and with your help, we can finally kill them ! by signing up for just a small monthly donation to me, Lex Luthor,

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.

Its weird how quickly stereotyping cats based on color has taken off online now

I'd say its just people wanting to lovingly tease their pets, but I've come across several conversations recently of people wondering what genetically causes orange cats "to be that way". I think it's because they are a cat.

It's even weirder because people act like "orange cat behaviour" is a long-standing cultural stereotype and not something that popped up in the last five years!

Oh some of my favorites include "my tortie loves to [insert normal cat behavior here], and only torties act that way!" and "I could never get a calico, they are mean!" Like bitch what? You think fur and skin color determines personality? You're cat racist. Make it make sense.
