@esinclai @azender me. Day of Springfest 1980, hadda jet, walked to Duroc, laid the cabbage down. Don’t recall you w/shirt, but possible. – 06:43 PM GMT

@esinclai is that a sideways purchase disclosure? – 02:59 AM GMT
@esinclai but also, yes. sometime I should tell you about buying London Calling for RB3. A-musing, aggravating. – 03:00 AM GMT
@esinclai $200 innit? That’s less than my current 60-day electric bill. The debate here is how many times does one buy? – 03:02 AM GMT
@esinclai oh sure, untoppable. 184.95 appears to be street. Now if they included pure stereo vinyl unremastered hi-def, I think YES. – 03:05 AM GMT
@esinclai but remastering is a technical requirement, so it just doesn’t matter. Super Black Market Clash being the case in point. – 03:06 AM GMT

… but I am inclined to go there! I have already too much shit to do this month and there are domestic spats, reflecting stress. – 01:01 AM GMT
But grief is transient, and grief challenged is reflective of the moment of challenge, not the loss. The closer in time to the moment… – 01:04 AM GMT
…the mo’ that remain. – 01:04 AM GMT
Inadvisably I say, self, “challenge accepted”. – 01:05 AM GMT

So, nerds, bring it. Gimme the spreadsheet Westeros slash, the good stuff. No fucking character driven nonsense. – 05:28 AM GMT
@sara_clarke well, in script, “whoever pays,” which, yes. And on the Wall (or Council) “for the Realm,” which, bullshit, but OK whatever – 05:30 AM GMT
@middleclasstool hope you dig the journey. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the short stories. Can’t get enough of ‘em. That ReSearch was helpful as a kid. – 05:31 AM GMT
@sara_clarke right! – 05:31 AM GMT
@sara_clarke well, the voyageur trade supplied Europe with raw materials for non-winter clothes too – pelts and grease also make felt. – 05:32 AM GMT
@sara_clarke so there’s a basis for a resource-based trade. No heavy industry though. Limited evidence of Roman demand for felt. Or none. – 05:33 AM GMT
@sara_clarke right! I’ve got some lovely mud over ‘ere! you lot on the ‘orse can stick it, roight! – 05:34 AM GMT

@sara_clarke ah, but the voyaguers served the North. The Spanish lands were oriented toward GOLD BABY because of war debt. – 05:37 AM GMT
@sara_clarke unluckily for the Mexicans they actually had Au. So, anyway, economy drives war! I think we agree. Why is this war going down? – 05:39 AM GMT
@sara_clarke I know, there are some gestures, but they’re pretty pro forma. – 05:39 AM GMT
@sara_clarke well yes, exactly. There is some jocularity in my voice on this stuff. – 05:40 AM GMT
I totally wish I had marched up toGRRM in the airport trin the other day and been all, “your ecomoic underpinnifpgs of Westeros mystify me” – 05:41 AM GMT

@sara_clarke ah, there it is. I have been sloughing names because old. – 05:48 AM GMT
@sara_clarke right! the show definitely doesn’t, but I haven’t read the books yet, so I did not know. – 05:49 AM GMT

From that retconomist essay: “What many historians think today, however, is that the driving factor behind the Recovery was the environment” – 07:16 AM GMT
In reference to a centuries long period of good weather in medieval Europe. Summer wys a cumin in, if you will. – 07:17 AM GMT
