On occasion, we here do a thread of random positivity, where we start with a thematic prompt and talk about things that are enjoyable just for the fun of it. Past examples:
- Happy computer memories
- Happy food memories
- Movies and TV wishlist
- Happy book memories
- Happy travel memories
We have also had a couple threads of educational-resource recommendations. These are marginally more serious, since they’re about gathering actually good explanations of things that sneerable people like to pontificate ignorantly on. But I’ll list them here because learning is fun:
Feel free to comment in the old threads and/or suggest new ones in the comments here.


Finally read Watchmen for the first time recently and yeah, it is really good. Having the plot spoiled for me years ago took some of the enjoyment out of it for me, but there was still a lot in there to enjoy and think about. And anyone who’s read it will know how it chimes with TESCREAL criticism…
