I’m probably deleting this app. The world is too stupid right now.

I was at the library with the kids trying to decide which Ben Bova book to read and I was getting overwhelmed because there were so many to choose from and developed severe decision paralysis. Then my son let out the biggest fart you’ve ever heard. So I picked Uranus.

Are there any streaming subscriptions that are ethical?

The worst episode of Babylon 5 is still like a B tier Trek episode.

Borderlands 4?

Krakoa is my "Roman Empire"

I was reading All The Birds In The Sky for Writing Excuses but it's starting to feel like an AI apology. Might have to DNF even though I'm enjoying the narrative overall.

I legit don’t even like Data anymore.

Borderlands 4 in 2 days!!!

Trekkies are so out of touch. And people in the comments saying "it's possible because I did it" 🙄🙄🙄 Kids have so many options that are quite frankly better than TOS and more suited to their attention spans now. If you wanna hook them young you need to make shows designed for them.

People online: “I love your books, but you should talk less about politics.” Me: I’d love to but *gestures at the news* these people need to stop being twats.

The movie trope of ‘villain gets taken down by a big exposé in a newspaper’ gets more depressing every time I see it

I feel like Holly by Stephen King would be more popular if people knew it was about octogenarian cannibals.

If you’re a dad is either one silent?

Only just now heard #ThePaper is already renewed for season 2! That makes my heart happy.

The #WIPSnips word for September 7th is "nowhere" #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity

It’s not OK to shame people for things that are out of their control. Unless they think mild salsa/chile is too spicy. Then it isn’t just OK but required.

I know it's a product of our capitalist hellscape but boy do I love the Bateman vs Batman commercials. I laugh every single time.

Am I already re-watching #ThePaper? Yes. Am I enjoying it even more than the first time? Also yes. I love they aren't trying to recreate the Office. The characters feel like they are from the same world without them going "this guy is the Jim, this girl is the Pam, this guy is the Michael, etc."

I watched I think 3 or 4 seasons of Downton Abbey and thought it was good but fell off when I caught up to current (as often happens with me). Tempted to go back and finish so I can watch the finale movie.

Is it just me or are professional critics just outright afraid to praise something? Has it always been this way?

The Brontë bookcloaks are out in force today. Margot Robbie as Cathy is enough for me to already love it. It’s just like when I heard about Rosamund Pike and Moiraine. Sometimes you gotta just stop being a LB and enjoy the ride.

I’m sorry my masking wasn’t complete enough for you.

I’m gonna try Silksong even though I know I won’t make it very far. Never could be Hollow Knight.

Binged The Paper in two days. Absolute banger of a show. Does justice to the Office without feeling contrived or forced. Very sad it’s only 10 episodes. Fuck modern streaming norms.

I think the Goldbergs is the last sitcom with a shit ton of episodes that I haven’t watched yet. Is it any good? The episode count alone makes me want to give it a try.

You know that feeling you get when someone you love says the kindest thing that is so sweet it overwrites all your fears and anxieties and insecurities? As a dad I get to experience that multiple times a day. And boy do I need it right now.

Putting all the Office actors in the commercials of The Paper is smart.

Dunder Mifflin has beefed up! #ThePaper

Another day, another whiner complaining that I use the singular "they" in my work, and of course they can go fuck themselves (you see what I did there) (also, gift link) wapo.st/3JEdPUv

You guys I think I might have a Trolli problem.

Wednesday season 2 is so much better than season 1. It’s like night and a darker drearier night. So good.

“Ice cream was for assassins who finished their targets.” Maybe my favorite line in a book all year lol

People without kids. What's it like for your music app to actually tailor music to you? Is it magical?

My grandma died last night. She hadn't remembered who I was for years and years, but she helped raise me and she was a good woman.

There is a news conference scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, September 3, at the House Triangle in Washington, D.C., for survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse. #Justice4Survivors #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles

I can’t believe they took badass warrior Yelena and instead of giving her a generic character arc they turned her into a therapist… Oh wait that was actually awesome. #Thunderbolts

Is Paradigms of Human Memory the best episode of a sitcom of all time?

Been thinking about the movie DAVE a lot lately…

“Genuine anger was one of the world’s greatest creative forces” In times like these, we can all be a bit more Granny. #terrypratchett

Why do we like first time reactor stuff so much?

Speaking of which a bunch of Pratchett books are on sale on BN and the place that shall not be named.
