> how this link ended up in HN

the submitter writes https://resobscura.substack.com/ which is also occasionally featured on hn and is generally well received.

And is generally awesome. Ben's one of the most interesting people I know of on HN.

indeed! i do miss the old newsletter that had random curious bits and links. anything similar nowadays?

I think the substack linked in the grandparent is a continuation of this?

I'd say magick, occult, and discordian content fits right in...

Hail Eris!

All Hail Discordia!

For some reason HN has been into the occult lately. Which is great for me, because I’m writing some fanfic for A Certain Scientific Railgun. I’ve been a bit unsatisfied with Crowley’s characterization therein and been and it’s useful to read other sources.

You might appreciate how silly this thought is - I watched a few episodes of Railgun and what bugged me most was that her weapon doesn't seem to be a railgun at all.

It is a silly thought, because it’s pretty small compared to other research errors in that show. “Roman Orthodox Church” gets me every time.

It is apparently possible to put a space elevator in Tokyo — as long as the center of mass is over the equator.

It's the magic of HN!
