Bilingual-website problems: Every time I try translating a page which refers to me in the third person into Dutch I end up wanting to throw my keyboard out of a window

In addition to the latest Misrule entry, i’ve done up “A Christmas Carol” on the Codex with the original illustrations from 1843. ’Tis the season!

Changed the default sans-serif font for pages like the linkroll from Source Sans to Alegreya. Goodnight sweet pince......

(Reason being that Garamond, which most pages on my site use, is a very print-y, bookish font, and Source Sans *screams* “THIS IS A DIGITAL THING” — i wanted to replace it with something that looked a little more like it belonged in a book. Gill Sans was my first choice, but people on Android wouldn’t see it and i’m not coughing up two hundred quid just to use a nice font by a nonce from 1928.)

Lords of Misrule has begun! Even more people turned out this year than last, which is good, because i was beginning to worry you’d all forgotten i’d existed. :-) Submissions will be rolled out over the next few days.

Yes, technically it’s not the 17th yet, but i’m a tired man and i wanted to get a shift on — think of it as Christmas coming early.

I need, like, a shock collar that zaps me every time i write something too cynical. I’ve been noticing it more and more and i really try not to be!

...You could probably actually build something like this if you had the time. I only ask that anyone who does do it calls the machine Waymond

Lots of people make fun of Discord and Reddit mods. They say they're narcissistic, power-hungry pricks who get high off of banning people they disagree with. As someone who once moderated a fairly large Discord server, I can tell them that they are *absolutely* right jesus christ I'm never doing that again

I'm European. Half of the mod team was American. I would frequently wake up and found out they'd banned someone for utterly ridiculous reasons and then i had to run damage control but not *actually* unban them because a majority of the mod team were in favour. Lots of ugly personal stuff involved too (which i’m really not in a position to share).

Anyway all this is to say that i’m not sure “Twitter but run by Discord mods and populated with exclusively the most annoying people from Twitter” is a great elevator pitch for your service

“Die” (something like “that one”) in the nominative and “hen”/“hun” (“them” and “their”) elsewhere is the option which sounds *least* like nails on a chalkboard but AUUGGHHH WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS DUTCH WHY CAN’T YOU HAVE A NICE UNISEX THIRD-PERSON PRONOUN LIKE ENGLISH DOES
