Dunno. Fortunately this kickstarted book that I backed just arrived by post today. I'll see what I can find out.

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on that. I intended to back the Kickstarter, then forgot to do so. What is your overall impression?

The mysterious 'Tully Monster' fossil just got more mysterious

Every now and again, scientists discover fossils that are so bizarre they defy classification, their body plans unlike any other living animals or plants. Tullimonstrum (also known as the Tully Monster), a 300m-year-old fossil discovered in the Mazon Creek fossil beds in Illinois, US, is one...

I'd totally run that as a Changeling the Dreaming game. The Sidhe reappear due to the moon landing, y'know. :clown: Fucking Changelings fucking with their fetches.:argh: Or is it fetches fucking with their changelings?:shock: Then it's Changeling the Lost!

NASA Saw Something Come Out Of A Black Hole For The First Time Ever

NASA Saw Something Come Out Of A Black Hole For The First Time Ever

That article tries to be reassuring.
Fortunately for us, this black hole is still 324 million light-years away.

So, no matter what bizarre things it was doing, it shouldn’t had any effect on our corner of the cosmos.

Whoever wrote that doesn't seem to understand how light years work, and that this event happened 324 million years ago. Who knows what it has been up to in all that time, and if it can climb out of a black hole, I see no reason to think any distance of physical space can serve as a safe buffer zone.

New lasers may be powerful enough to drill a hole in reality

I saw this and thought "Dusty attic", "Abandoned Warehouse", "Run-Down Quay" and "Weathered Obelisk with runes you can't make out".

You start with mundane unexplainables such as "Why do all of my socks keep disappearing?" or "Why do the neighbors never put their garbage cans on the street?" and work toward cosmic horror.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all of its contents and figure out where their socks really go.

No More Coffins, Organic Burial Pods Will Turn Bodies Into Trees

Funeral customs are quickly changing in the developed world, as expensive traditional services are becoming less common, and cheaper options like cremations are becoming more popular. Younger generations are also less likely to have long and drawn out church services, and are often uncomfortable...

Of course in a CoC game you'd go with something really coming out of the black hole, this is more a dumb problem I have with the article itself.

<pedantic bollocks>
There's a tendency in science reporting to make everything sound shocking or counter to current knowledge where as this effect was calculated in the 80s and has been in textbooks since the 00s, i.e. that sometimes plasma next to the horizon is fired out of the gravitational well before crossing the horizon. So it actually confirms textbook General Relativity.

Of course it's just some poor person working at Vice etc

There is also the tendency to report a single new study with outlier results as if it completely refutes 100 previous studies that gave the expected results.

Things That Were Discovered in Homes by The New Owners

Moving into your new home can be very exciting and once everything is signed and agreed, nobody really expects any surprises. For these tenants, once they were all moved in and began their renovations they discovered some very odd things. I wonder if this new homeowner realized how old his “new”...
