This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube. As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

“Sixteen Tons” playing during the closing credits was perfect. If you’re not familiar with the song I highly recommend looking at the lyrics, originally written for coal miners, I feel it fits Dunk to a tee. #AKOTSK

Also Egg just running off with Dunk to be a squire is such a little shit move and I openly cackled #AKOTSK

I loved this last episode. So many excellent scenes and it sets up the next story perfectly. #AKOTSK

I miss having my shadow around the house

Casper in our magical winter wonderland here!

Having a bad day in a long series of bad days. If you could, please spread my writing far & wide; I would love if new readers would find my work. I’ve been failing at marketing lately (like, always). Would love if the universe could give me just a little win #booksky #writesky 💙📚 www.grantpiercy.com

His name was Da’Quan Johnson. He was killed by Grand Rapids police. They had him facedown on the ground. They shot him in the back of the head. They let a K9 mangle him. Now that I know how loud y’all white folk can get after Good and Pretti, I expect the same for every person of color after.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

As someone who grew up Lutheran with a Chicagoan grandfather, I fucking love this Pope

TW: Alcoholism - - - - - My oldest step brother has been alcoholic for years and went to the hospital for bloody stool last week in Florida. Come to find out he has cirrhosis, colitis and had a heart attack yesterday and his mom has been hiding this from everyone up here. She also enables him.

Man, you're not going to believe which political party this guy charged with sex trafficking minors belongs to, not in a million years, no way

The Supreme Court:

if anyone is tempted to briefly hand it to John Roberts remember that he is about to finish his life’s work of destroying the Voting Rights Act and save yourself the trouble

Very excited for a new Scalzi book!

This is a very specific comment but: GOODBYE CON CRUD

Discworld QOTD, from The Last Hero

The UK arrested Prince Andrew. Hakeem Jeffries is telling Democrats not to boo Trump at the State of the Union.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

If you were wondering when Starter Villain would be available in Spanish, the answer is: May! From @minotaurolibros.bsky.social, who have been a fabulous publisher to work with for many years now.

Took today off work cause I knew I’d be a mess and instead went to the zoo and came to a local Palestinian owned restaurant for lunch.

If you forget to take your allergy pill and then spend the entire day crying, your nose will hate you. Just a warning.

Been a bad day, but buying 39 books for $16 didn’t make it any worse

have you ever read one of my Discworld QOTDs and thought, hey, I should really get around to reading those books? good news! the full series is back on Humble Bundle - it’s Kobo but it’s pretty easily to transfer those to your preferred e-reader you won’t regret it

If a Gen-Z etsy wiccan actually managed to put a hex on someone, and this made it to court, would they have to Subpoena the Teenage Witch?

The discworld humble bundle is back, $16 for most of the series on Kobo, a really good deal if you can use Kobo. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-pratchetts-discworld-harpercollins-encore-2026-books

Frog sat by the pond waiting for Toad. A mouse ran by. “I just saw something awful!” cried the mouse. “It was big and brown!”

I’m watching the Olympics and I’ve gotten spoiled with all these high scoring hockey games, cause what do you mean it’s only 2-0 in the second period for Switzerland vs Italy with 20-3 shots on goal

Jesse Jackson, civil rights leader and US presidential hopeful, dies at 84

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Apparently if I sleep at a normal time, I just wake up at 6 without a problem? Weird?

“I asked ChatGPT” yeah well I asked my autistic friend whose pattern recognition gives her borderline prophetic accuracy even though no one ever listens to her because she’s awkward and has bad timing and says the wrong thing and has no control over her body or volume or brain or

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

Magnificent acting by Bertie Carvel bringing Prince Baelor Breakspear to life and death for us all. His ending scene will be one that haunts people for years to come. #TKOTSK

Dunk beating Aerion with his own shield and then dragging him by his heel to withdraw his complaint was just chefs kiss #TKOTSK

I never thought about Dunk living through the Blackfyre Rebellion and I loved seeing the end of it from his perspective. #TKOTSK

I know how everything ends but fuck they did that so well #TKOTSK

The only Dunk contest that matters this weekend involves a Trial of Seven.

Gotta love Olympic tradition- the passage of the torch, the ceremonial lighting of the flame, the series of articles about condoms running out from journalists seething that super fit people are fucking

new book! @sung-il-kim.com @antonhur.com

This is some serial killer shit.

Here’s your reminder that the heart of St Valentine rests in Dublin, Ireland and was given as a gift by Pope Gregory XVI to Fr John Spratt, a noted teacher who spent time in Rome. After his passing, the heart was put into storage and went missing for 120 YEARS before being found Photo: Arthur Carron
