Got any special plans for Valentine's Day?

My birthday lands around valentines day so I get stuff rather than being forced to do something for others. Still do though. I saw an email about a nice dinner in the Arbor Lodge before I was told not to look at it 🫡.

I also keep coming back to the metaphor that Reddit is a great deal like Gormenghast: an ancient, stony fortification of cobbled-together structures, housing a gaggle of idiosyncratic personas whose lives are filled with the performances of abstruse rituals and obligations, the mandatory detritus of a former glory — insular and in a state of glacial decadence, and which nevertheless has a secondary community plastered on its boundary, with which it perfunctorily yet regularly interacts AND YET all of which exists within a much wider world that has largely diverged from it.

I think about the Tower of Flints.
