- Title: The Doom That Came to Sarnath
- Date: 1919
- Summary: The first Lovecraft story I ever read, and another of his fantasy stories. A bunch of jerks decide they're going to build their city by a lake, and decide that the city already by the lake populated by lizard/fish people sucks. So they kill all the lizard/fish people and dump them in the lake and burn down their city. The jerks' city becomes big and powerful and wealthy, until the day that the lizard/fish people rise up out of the lake in the mist and kill everybody.
- Real Villain: Being an asshole to your neighbors.
- Last line in italics? No.
- Writer writes instead of fleeing? No.
- Rating: 9/10.
- Read it: Here.
I think if I remember correctly I need to put text here, otherwise blogger gets confused about the bullet lists. Anyway, links.
- Pokemon.
- Not Pokemon.
- I saw a very depressing and sad news story today that was really like a half dozen equally depressing stories crammed together to just absolutely suck the life out of people. This is not that story, this is the Best Bunny In the World dancing with Sleepy Patient Dog, Who Is Also A Great Friend.
- I do not recall Chibiusa pulling a gun on anybody.
- Billionaires are stupid is the takeaway from this.
- This is well done.
- What's the goal here? Make as much money as possible now, and ignore the future? I'm not a big fan of Airbnb (it encourages housing being used inefficiently for the benefit of a few), but saying that they're not responsible for legal issues is dumb. Once somebody gets caught, they're probably not going to keep using Airbnb.
