From the Political Department:

There's an interesting article in Telepolis about the perspectives arising from the elections in the USA:

And because it's an article written by an American living in Germany, there is actually an English language version online as well, so everybody who's interested can partake of the intellectual challenge and diversity that is Telepolis, for once:

And the title page of the current SPIEGEL:



From the Department for Systematic Madness:

There is a web site that lists conspiracy theories, all and any conpiracy theories, and allows them to make their cases. The PHP system doesn't quite run ideally, yet, but the content is fun:

(in German only, sorry!)


From the Department for Weather Madness:

Our RL weather seems inspired by the early winter we've been having in Bonk in the discworld_rpg. Today, when I rode the train to work, the weather was fine here in Haidhausen, started to drizzle in Berg-am-Laim; there was a hailstorm in Trudering, a snowstorm in Gronsdorf, falling snow in Haar and nothing again in Vaterstetten where I had to get off. My bike's saddle was a bit wet, that was all. But for tonight, frost is predicted, and snow might actually stay on the ground. And it's only November 9th! That's what I get for going on and on about the snowfalls in Bonk.

fabulous_papaya, please let's go on about the thaw that follows soon, as soon as Otto is through with his werewolves!


From the Department for Creative Redirect:

I can still draw, I find! I have done the drawing of young!Sam I wanted to do for dreamkin, and then I've drawn a new little vampire about whom I totally don't know who he could be; suggestions are welcome!

The usual: the iconses are free for gackage if I get credited, and link to a large version of the drawings while a small version is behind the cut that follows:






"Little Sam Vimes", from this log for the Discworld RPG, for Dreamkin, whose birthday was more than a month ago but who was still owed something!




"The Little Monster"




From the Department for Standing Offers:

I've got a few requests for Hogswatch fics yet, but if anybody would like to have something written, the offer is still open! You tell me the particulars, and I'll do it, as long as it's a fandom I know.

Err, thawing, sure.

I should probably have Angua heading back to A-M soon. But A-M is boooring. No werewolves in sight!

Er, is Otto going to have trouble iconohgraphing the wolves? Because he's having a peachy time of it so far. Which is fine, actually, Aria can do whatever she likes, I just thought, well, TROUBLE!!1. Muh.
