I finally played Chants of Sennaar and it's super fun!
Language puzzles in a fantastical Tower of Babel-esque setting. Since it's an approachable video game, the linguistics never gets super complicated, but they do mix things up enough that it's not just a funny way to write English. Fun story and beautifully colorful visuals too.

I want to avoid the news for a week or two, but I need some fun stuff to read during that time. I'm thinking about getting an RSS reader. Does anyone have some good feeds to recommend? #Programming, #art, #literature, non-technical #science and #philosophy (classical, Continental & pragmatist, please—not interested in analytical), #history, #Judaism, #linguistics, stuff like that.

Excellent song by #WillHaven, Finest Our, but the title's play on words only works for those who pronounce "our" as [aʊəɹ] rather than [aɹ].
