This week, we crack open the life and legacy of Charles Fort — the original librarian of the weird, patron saint of “wait… what?” and accidental founder of a movement he wanted nothing to do with. From fish falling from the sky to early UFO musings, Fort spent decades cataloguing the world’s strangest leftovers while side‑eyeing science, roasting astronomers, and joking his way through theories he didn’t even believe. We trace his begrudging brilliance, his cult‑following he never asked for, and the massive shadow he still casts over all things anomalous. It’s skeptical, it’s silly, it’s surprisingly wholesome. Fortean, some may say.
