Feb. 9th, 2026 10:41 pmjames_davis_nicollBecause having wondered what the Tangent Online 2025 recommended reading list looked like--or more accurately, how many non-recommended reading list words would precede it, nothing compelled me to go look.

pennyarcade_feedIn the Time Before - no relation to The Land Before Time - it was very important to have a "Halo Killer." There were many attempts, wrought at a profundity of expense and labor. They would have been very surprised to learn, years after this conflict had passed into history, that the storied franchise and its laconic green action figure would die to suicide.
Housekeeping Note, re: Emails and Big Ideas, 2/9/26
Feb. 10th, 2026 02:44 amscalziwhatever_feedHey, I neglected email for a bit in order to finish my book(s), including Big Idea queries, but now that they’re both in, I’m going to going to catch up with everything in the next couple of days. If you have a Big Idea query into me and haven’t heard back from me by this Friday, go ahead and resend it. Thanks.

Day 9: Fic - Stargate SG-1 - Sam Carter
Feb. 9th, 2026 09:00 pmalchemicink posting in halfamoonFirst character who came to my mind for "The Scholar" prompt was Sam Carter who's saved her team plenty of times with her scientific knowledge. She's cool and competent at what she does!
Title: Getting back to the basics
Fandom: Stargate SG-1
Character: Sam Carter (plus Cassie is briefly here too)
Rating: G
Length: 100 words
Summary: Sam's favorite part of her job is the science

In my head, there was backstory about how Cassie asked Sam for homework help because Janet was busy treating SG-3 who came back from offworld with a mysterious blue rash.
But obviously I could not fit that in the drabble 😂

REC - Day 9 - Star Trek AOS - Uhura/T'Pring
Feb. 9th, 2026 08:44 pmineffablecabbage posting in halfamoon Title + link: The Love Connection
Author: ForFucksSakeJim
Prompt: Day 9 - The Scholar
Fandom: Star Trek: Alternate Original Series
Characters/Pairing: T'Pring/Nyota Uhura
Length: 10,381
Rating: Teen
Warnings: None
Summary: While transporting a group of Vulcans to their new homeworld, Uhura meets T’Pring, a talented linguist whose gravitational pull she just can’t refuse.
Reccer's notes: This fic brings T'Pring and Nyota together due to their shared love of linguistics and T'Pring's appreciation for Nyota's perfect Vulcan pronunciation. They are both delightfully complex and fun characters here and the growth that develops from a love of language seemed to definitely fit the theme.

Strugglebus
Feb. 9th, 2026 11:25 pmcosmolinguistMy alarm went off two hours earlier than usual today. I'd had the kind of bad sleep you do when you know you'll need to get up early: it took me longer to fall asleep in the first place and I woke up repeatedly, convinced at one point that I'd definitely slept too late until I looked at the clock and saw it was 4:30am.
I was starting work early so I could be interviewed for BBC Radio Leeds. It went really well, thanks I think to a journalist I'd spoken to a couple weeks ago. I had a really nice conversation. And then a quiet morning with a big cup of coffee while I gently got myself up to dealing with meetings and emails.
My mood and mental state have been low all weekend, and I'm really struggling with sleep again. And eating.
Oddly, in a total inverse of the past...oh, year or more, it seemed like I was feeling least bad during work hours. Walking Teddy now kinda marks the end of my work day, and it's a really nice little ritual that sometimes gives me time to file away the work day and think about what's ahead. But today, I didn't feel the usual relief at finishing work, but more... overwhelmed maybe. Everything feels like so much at the moment: watching the effects I'm seeing around me from ICE, Gaza, the Epstein files, UK politics thanks to the by-election we're living amidst, politics in sports from the Olympics to Bad Bunny...
All my podcasts are being boring and/or not updating, they're all conspiring to make me actually read my book-club book even though i don't wanna -- it's The Day the World Came to Town, about the multiple airliners' worth of passengers that descended on a small Newfoundland town on 9/11 when the U.S. closed its air space. I'm still at the beginning and just stressed out hearing about people in Europe getting on these transatlantic flights, the normal day the air traffic controller thought he was going to have... The book is leaving me both agitated and bored at the same time somehow.
I screwed up a plan to get nice takeout as a treat tonight, I couldn't help do this week's Tesco order as had been the plan for this evening, and I could only sit through half of Sinners, my favorite movie from all of last year, before I had to go lie in the dark. But that was hours ago; I can't sleep.

Back to school!
Feb. 9th, 2026 10:37 pmwildeabandonFirst day of lectures today. I was supposed to be starting with History of Church and Theology: Contemporary Period at 9.00, but got an email sent at 7:46 saying that it was cancelled (along with tomorrow's and both of next week's), because the professor is in India. I can't help but feel that maybe he might have known that would be happening more than 75 minutes before the lecture, by which point I'd already left the flat, but it gave me a couple of extra hours in the library, so I'm not really complaining.
Following that was Coptic II, with my favourite prof. The first half was talking about the practicalities of what the semester was going to look like, including asking for thoughts on what texts we'd like to read. There were a whole two students, so unless it turns out to be too difficult for relative beginners, then we should get to look at "The Investiture of the Archangel Michael", an apocryphal text which covers some of the same ground as Paradise Lost, which was one of my requests.
In the afternoon we had Christian Social and Political Ethics, which was reasonably interesting, although I'm actually hoping that I'm going to be allowed to swap that module for a Hebrew/Midrash one that I'm a lot more excited about. I'm not sure when I'll find out though, so until I do I'll be going to lectures for both. Afterwards I was doing some reading related to that first lecture, which talks about the necessity of social and relational ties for human beings and humanity to flourish. From time to time it used the phrase "mutual flourishing" and I kept having to remind myself that this was a book chapter written in a Roman Catholic milieu, and therefore it had nothing to do with the very specific way that phrase is used in Anglican ecclesial politics...

Get the MH Stories 3 Demo!
Feb. 9th, 2026 08:19 pmpennyarcade_feedCapcom just released a demo for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection and I love it. The demo seems to have come out for pretty much everything but I grabbed it for the PS5 Pro and it’s gorgeous. Plenty of people love the Monster Hunter series but I feel like the “Stories” side games get overlooked. That sort of makes sense as the Stories games are very different. These are turn-based RPG’s with an anime art style and a focus on younger characters with monster collecting/ battling. Think of them like Pokemon + Monster Hunter and it’s just as cool as it sounds.
