Two for you:

《The Wild Girls》 - Ursula K Le Guin

《Piranesi》 - Susanna Clarke

And if you read fast I reckon you could do China Miévilles 《The City and the City》 or Tade Thompson’s 《Rosewater》 in a day.

Edit bonus: anything by Douglas Adams.

Where did I claim that people did?

Thing is, he’s not really pointing an unexplained mystery.

We know 90% of about how a lot of these sites were built and a good chunk of their history. Some of the older/more recently discovered ones such as Gobleki Tepe, obviously less but still a fair bit. Claiming that Mesoamerican and Asian megalith sites are aliens/Atlanteans isn’t really helping work out that last 10%.

Pointing at what science has proven again and again to be a natural rock formation 25m under the water and claiming it’s the remains of Atlantean civilisation doesn’t advance much either, after all it’s been proven wrong before.

Meanwhile, ever since Europe was disproven to be the birthplace of modern humans in the 19th and early 20th centuries, people have suddenly been coming up with all sorts of reasons why non-White folks sites weren’t made by locals.

I will give Hancock credit that I don’t think he is actively racist, as he does correct himself when he implies that the locals wouldn’t have been able to do things like stack rocks.

I can use a drill, jigsaw, or circular saw and not feel pain; yes.

Don’t think this is just a me thing, as my family seem fine using them too.

I hadn’t heard Fire in the Booth 4 before as it never hit my music streaming services. Thanks for waking me to its being.

Dig Lowkey too, music was the only good development of the criminal “war on terror”.

Enjoy. They’re all classics in their own way (or will be in 10 years time).

Oh, not a comedy but Inside Number 9 is some of the best TV ever made. Well worth watching, too. Amazing tight stories unrelated except by show runners and the number 9.

Wish they’d asked Belgium, Luxembourg, and Moldova as well.

Also, when made of moly-mod it can stand up and looks like a giant robot.

I’ll give you the story as I can recall it…

The trip was reliving the person’s life from top to bottom, and at various points hearing huge applause or boos or an emotional rection of some kind, and turning round and seeing that they were on the set of “This Was Your Life” with a huge studio audience. The presenter would give a prize, joke or something and ask some questions which led back to reliving their life and soon forget about the “show” until the next time the crowd went wild. It is said it felt like a lifetime, I don’t know how long the trip lasted in measured time.

Akala - Fire in the Booth 1 The flow, message, content. An artist with top skills, showcasing what he can do.

Supreme NTM - Le Pouvior Just always dug this track. Resonates with me.

This is basically what a DMT trip can be like I’ve heard. With infinite forgetting and noticing the being viewed conceit again.

Yes but also most of those films were bad at the time too.

We do love a panel show, they can be great.

I tend to cleave to comedies more than much else, but if you’re interested in more Black Adder esque things I can recommend the following:

Red Dwarf - old sci-fi sitcom about losers in space.
Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace - an old drama in a hospital built on a rift to hell.
Green Wing - early 2000s comedy set in a hospital.
Toast of London - sit com following Toast, a pompous actor who feels he is better than the voice over work he earns his income from.
Fleabag - dramedy show based off of a stand up routine about being a horrible fleabag of a woman.
We Are Lady Parts - comedy following Amina, who is about to join a Muslim girl punk band.
Friday Night Dinner - comedy based around a weekly family dinner.
Black Books - sitcom in a book shop.

Danger Mouse (Repeats of the Original)

Doctor Who (Pertwee and Baker)

Black Adder (all of it, remember being about 12 and my parents telling me to come and watch it with them)

Clearly you aren’t British.

Poor Faroe Islands, always forgotten.

Yes, they’re part of Denmark (like Greenland) but also yes they’re Nordic land.

Robbery is more efficient, but so far outlawed.

We’ll have to use FOMO and addiction instead.

Yes, you seemed very sarcastic in your reasonable and not at all defensive responses to other people.

Is it? Humans have cooperated for much of our history. And even when power structures are pushing them against each other people literally risk life and limb to help them.

It’s an interesting and detailed post.

I think it has brought a lot to the table.
