Old monsters are returning from the depths. We thought them banished, dead, and gone. But no, being folk of particular skills with no perceptible moral compass, just cash seeking behavior, they are back. Timid at first, like a skittish racoon, they'll get bolder. REMEMBER WHY THEY WERE BANISHED

I think we were preaching the same lesson today. My students got the “welcome to the Giftschrank” lecture this morning.

Yay!!!!! We preserve this cursed knowledge to teach, not use. That is heresy. You know what happens to heresy, students?

Also sold it to students as an inoculation against the old heresies that we like to think we buried.

It is a memorial to the dead, because there is no time machine, and it is the only thing we can do for them.
