Nobody loves anything/anyone the way British podcasters love Horatio Nelson.

The wonderful NPR podcast Science Friday did a story on this recently www.sciencefriday.com/segments/cov...

Song in my head today #NoKings #Manhattan

So I’ve started my offseason #RootRootRead journey. First up was book checked out from the library. The Outsider by @stephenking.bsky.social was another stop on my Holly Gibney journey. She is a character I have come to enjoy very much.

Baseball really is the best sport because all it takes is one little bobble and suddenly a game built on routine and order devolves into panic and chaos

whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

One time I forgot I had to write a 5 page paper on Richard III with less than 4 hours before class it was for started. Got an A. Another time my computer failed to save over half of a ten page paper for my film studies class. Turned it in with the paper still warm. Got an A.

It’s not often you get you favorite poem read by one of the greatest voices to ever exist. In honor of Halloween month, The Raven as read by James Earl Jones as interpreted by The Simpsons m.youtube.com/watch?v=bLiX...

I’ve been saying this for YEARS.

Thei did the Mash; thei did the Monstere Mash. The Monstere Mash: beholde, sepulchral smash! Thei did the Mash, and it kaughte on moost fast - Hark, heare the Mash! Forsooth, the Monstere Mash!

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

Due to the Astros deciding not to give me an extra month, I finished the 2025 baseball season #RootRootRead bingo card few books shy of complete. My last three books were as follows:

This is a stupid complaint but I need to get it off my chest: I am so goddamn tired of almost every goddamn book I have read for the past few years having 3 or more goddamn narrators. It’s too many. If your story can’t be contained in less than two narrators I’m done reading your book.

i respect how every tribute to robert redford is at least a little bit horny

Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:

Three of the brightest stars in the Astros galaxy. 💫

I read We Do Not Part for book by a Nobel Prize winner. It was an experience. If you like beautifully written books that are going to fuck with your head that also contain Korean history you’ve never heard of, this is the book for you. #RootRootRead

I still think of Nathan Fillion as Joey from One Life to Live.

"i just use AI for-" say no more, i already think less of you

So I decided to read The Murders of Richard III for book by author named Elizabeth due to loving Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody book so much. I do not this way about this book. Boring, and all the characters suck. #RootRootRead

Due to some late reading nights this past weekend I can barely keep my eyes open today, but I wanted @charlessoule.bsky.social to know it was worth it. Trials of the Jedi was an amazing ending to the High Republic. It was so hard to put the book down. I laughed, I cried, I loved. #RootRootRead

For #RootRootRead book that takes in Europe, I read The Rushworth Family Plot, book 5 of the Darcy-Tilney mysteries. I love these books so much and can’t wait for the next one. I need these two nerds to get together already.

Getting in some #RootRootRead -ing while watching this Astros game. Really enjoying Ron Chernow’s biography of Mark Twain

i think cuomo did well considering he couldn’t campaign while the sun was up

A group of researchers tracked down the original photo used in the final scene of The Shining. “It was a real photo from the 1920s, and Nicholson’s face had been superimposed over someone. But whose face was it?” [cbc.ca]

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

It’s probably bad that the future of America’s government pivots on a fight between Lex Luthor and the Joker

Of all the pieces of technology I own, the magic rectangles that show me baseball games are my favorite.

I wish people that praise Andor would realize they don’t have to shit on other Star Wars television shows while doing it. If every show was the same it would get real boring real fast.

Read the newest in the Hunger Games series, Sunrise on the Reaping, for #RootRootRead. Was it a necessary prequel? No. Was it enjoyable anyway with some new insight into Haymitch? Yes. Suzanne Collins can drop one of these every few years for the rest of life and I’ll read it.

At a conclave with many new members, a swift, stunning consensus built around someone who was unknown to many outside of the church. This is the story of how Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost became Pope Leo XIV, based on interviews with more than a dozen cardinals and accounts from Vatican insiders.

My favourite Star War? The Dominion War

Happy Star Wars day! My inner 1983 self especially will never get over where my love of reading (and belief in the words on this poster created the same year by the American Library Association for National Library Week) would take me. Forever grateful! 📕✨ #MayThe4thBeWithYou

Animal Fact: did you know that hippos don’t have a true fight or flight response? Scientifically, they rely more on a “I wish you would” type of vibe.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody
