A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

  • It’s something I leaned into more when the community was new as it is a handy way of getting people up speed and sparking discussion but, especially, with Halloween looming, every news outlet seems to be posting some kind of listicle and they are all feeling a bit… samey.

    I did have an idea a while back for a semi-regular feature called “Build your own listicle” where someone posts a theme and we throw in suggestions to come up with our own. Partly inspired by the excellent recommendations everyone has made in replies to listicles before which are far superior to the actual article (one good thing about posting such links). So why not skip the article and jump straight to the recommendations?

    edit: it’s the kind of thing being done here.
