    They say that everything old is new again. Sometimes that's true, I think.

    G5 - Where is Sunny's Mom?

    Where, indeed, is Sunny's mother? We see Argyle, her dad, and the movie very strongly implies he's dead -- or has been missing for years, presumed dead -- but there's no sign of her mother anywhere.

    Similarly, Sprout's mother Phyllis features prominently, but there's no sign of his father.

    Dune - go see it

    What the title says, basically. The new Dune movie is seriously good, and if you like Dune, or sweeping SF epics in general, you should go see it, preferably on the biggest screen you can. It's gorgeous! The movie follows the book much better than the Lynch film did, and lets the environment play a big role, as is fitting.

    Just in case it needs to be said:

    If you haven't already, go get vaccinated against Covid-19, ASAP. The vaccines are safe and they work.

    Do not try any of the purported "cures" like hydroxichloroquin or, sigh, ivermectin.

    In case it wasn't obvious yet...

    No, I do not want Nazis in this fandom.

    I don't want stories about cutesy Nazi OCs, who exist to give "ironic" cover to actual Nazis and racists, and to normalize Nazi presence in MLP fandom.

I'll know it when I find it... I hope. · 7:47pm Feb 10th, 2016

Dear readers, how often does this happen to you?

I wanted to re-read a blog post by one of the fine, clever, eloquent writers of FIMfiction that I follow. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember who, exactly, had written the post I was looking for. It wasn't so idiosyncratic that I could easily pin it to a particular writer. So there was nothing to do but start checking the recent-ish blog posts of a number of authors, starting with the ones I thought as most likely.

After having read a couple of dozen excellent posts by good half a dozen authors, I realized I no longer had any idea what I was searching for, originally. :facehoof:

I did persist for some time more, hoping that if I happened upon the post I had started out after, it would jolt my memory and I'd realize I had found it. But no, after scanning the blogs of another ten or so of my favorite writers, I still haven't found whatever it is I set out to look for. At this point, I don't think I ever will.

Memory is the first thing to go. :fluttershysad:

Welp... happy hunting. :trollestia:

Generally, if I want to revisit a blog post, it made enough of an impact that I can remember why, what, or who.

In the future, you may want to write down just what it is you're looking for before you begin the hunt.

YES! We need to be able to favorite blog posts.

Think about things that you were thinking about at the time, and not what you want to think about directly.

Yeah, I'm going to do that next time. :twilightsheepish:

Amen! That would be so handy.

It's usually a good idea, but I don't remember what I were thinking about! Plus enough time has passed that it's useless by now.
