We seem to be on a "one link a day" kick lately, sorry. And tomorrow there won't be any links at all, because we'll be away from the computer all day!
Anyway. Today's link is a brand spanking new podcast about the weirdness going on in the 1930s, called "Brother, Can You Spare a Podcast?"Monday, January 24, 2022

Being old(ish), I am not much on TikTok, but there are two accounts I follow: B. Dylan Hollis's crazy recipe adventures and, as of yesterday, Mayor Lovecraft. The latter is an actual mayor of an Ohio town and occasionally delves into the spooky world of Ohio (it's true, just ask the Raven Queen or the Loveland Frogman).

I recently discovered Hash House Harriers, which is a "drinking club with a running problem" that has outposts worldwide, including my home town.

Happy New Year, everyone! Let's party like it's 1122, with some help from Hildegard von Blingin's bardcore music, including some truly wonderful covers of songs like "Somebody I Used to Know," "Jolene," and "Summertime Sadness." Check them all out if you can, they're great.
