Bad people do bad things.

Interesting. Non-sucky comics adaptation, perhaps? We'll see. Thanks to serpentstar for pointing it out.

This, also, is interesting. The fading and passing of a great institution is always in some ways a great shame, but I can't really bring myself to regret the passing of Church power and influence. Of course, what the article doesn't talk about enough is priestly celibacy - in a highly sexualised society this is inevitably going to be a huge barrier to recruitment, but it's not usually considered. The elephant in the livingroom again?

Out moleplaying last night, and then the pub. After the pub, Neg's, for the first time in I don't want to think how long. Jane and Adele were both out, as well as the usual mob. Jane was presumably back from wherever (Sussex?) she was spending time writing. Oddly, nobody could tell me anything about the indiarubber spectacles story. I am more than a little surprised. Next stop rec.arts.sf.written, perhaps. Mike gave me a pile of stuff which involved variously space-rock and libertarianism. I'm pretty sure that some of the stuff listed in his catalogue goes past weird into poisonous, but I'll maybe have a dig about later. He managed to annoy Andrew to the point where he got up and left. No punches were thrown this time, though.

Also - Derren Brown's prog tonight looks interesting. In a baiting-the-gullible kind of way.
