That's it -- take away his Nobel Prize and make him sit in the corner and think about what he's done.

Yeah, several months ago I was posting a book recs guide for not HP basically, and a friend who LOVED HP messaged me on insta and was like "Wait what?" she's a p offline mom of young kids and she legit had no idea. Was about to start them on the series and decided not to when she found out.

"It was an accident 🤷‍♀️" does not, should not, absolve a person from taking responsibility for the result of said "accident." If one "accidentally" kills someone there should still be consequences. If your "accident" caused harm to another person, you can't just throw up your hands and say "oh well."

Baldwin probably won't even show up to work, anyway. They stopped inviting him to conventions because he would tell them he was coming and then just not show up. Year after year.

When I heard that Linkin Park had a new album out, like a year and a half ago, my reaction was:

Prism: Quiet, nines, a ten is speaking Malevola: I’m an eleven but continue

We went from "no AI slop pinky swear" to "Xbox is becoming Copilot" in like 2 weeks flat. It's like they're having an internal competition to see how many ways they can force people to stop using Xbox. Double price of game pass. Hike console prices. Put the Copilot BS everyone hates on it.

ICYMI, the new paperbacks are in. Order your copy of LIFE IS STRANGE by @kaittremblay.bsky.social and it'll go out in the mail next week. bossfightbooks.com/products/lif...

Fuck, quitting ballet is still one of the biggest regrets of my life.

If nobody cares about ballet, why did I have to rent an apartment in between moves so I could finish 8 sold out showings of The Nutcracker when I wasn't even a soloist? youtube.com/watch?v=yPoS...

Tolkien's letter to Auden is brutal. I love it.

Surprised that I've only read one book on this list. I'm excited to add the rest to my to-read pile.

The man who signs the checks directly to the bigot doesn't get to talk about separating the art from the artist. 🤦‍♀️ My Little Pony may be my number one thing, but I'll boycott Hasbro at the drop of a hat if they're giving money to transphobic causes. So like... Bye Hasbro. 🤷‍♀️

Who are these uneducated men talking over the paralympic opening ceremonies and why do we have to hear them say things like "two competing fractions" when we could just be enjoying the beautiful dancers? It feels insulting.

A challenge to a monstrously regressive Florida state law that makes it easier for books to be pulled from school libraries is making its way through a federal circuit court in Atlanta.

A list of books read this year - no commentary and not all will be reviewed 1 - Teenage Girls Can Be Demons by Hailey Piper

Putting this link here so I can come back and read it when my headache is gone. It's a really interesting perspective. sites.udel.edu/bricall/writ...

Philly, we have a good problem on our hands. We had TOO easy of a time distributing 10,000 packets of seeds. 12 bars & 13 distribution stations later, Poof! Wanna help me pack up more? Let's meet on Monday. I'll have free pint glasses in exchange for your help 😘 luma.com/q82nwao2

But what if multiple animals were sent on (failed) missions to save the world and prevent the timeline we are now experiencing?

All your prayers have been answered: my box of 100 all-new postcards hits stores in October. Some pre-order options are at eatf.art, but support your local bookstore whenever possible. This includes pre-orders! Call 'em up!

I've always wanted to do an anthology called BIG DAMN EXPLOSIONS where the only requirement for the stories is that they must have a big damn explosion in them. I think we could get an interesting range of stories with that.

This is definitely the mood right now.

I understand the instinct to donate to orgs that are helping trans folks flee red states but let's not forget about the orgs that are still fighting for trans folks in red states.

IT’S TORTIN’ TIME!!!! gamers we are the backest we’ve ever been 🐢🐢🐢🐢 so so keen to get cracking #gifted

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

My highly educated mother is acting like an actual drug addict when it comes to her Facebook account, and reading misinformation. I tell her constantly to stop reading "articles" that don't come from real sources -- things that are posted by random faceless accounts with generic names.

"In fact, at 0.39% of the expense budget, he has actually allocated LESS than Eric Adams did in his FY 26 preliminary budget proposal. This is completely unacceptable and detrimental to our public libraries. It’s deeply disappointing that Mayor Mamdani did not follow through on his commitment."

I'm Goodreads friends with someone named Amber... and I can't remember who she is. She doesn't have a bio or photo of herself. I think she may be someone in one of my book clubs? I keep seeing her updates and I can't remember when or how we became friends. 😭 If you are Amber, can you let me know? 😅

'It's overwhelming': Plastic from 1960s Canada washes up on Orkney's Sanday www.bbc.com/news/article...

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Good morning! Life is too short to spend on stories you don't love. Don't be afraid to stop reading - or stop writing - a book if you're not enjoying it

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Sometimes I walk into a room and then turn to my dog and say, "Why did we come in here?" She shrugs and says, "I dunno, I was just following you."

Suddenly I understand why middle school band directors always lose their minds.

UNC is close to finalizing its policy which outlines permissible circumstances to *SECRETLY RECORD FACULTY IN THE CLASSROOM.*

I would like to express something in no uncertain terms about the publishing industry re availability and I would really like this carved in stone. Carers and chronically ill writers are structurally disadvantaged in prestige economies. This is brutal and rarely said out loud. I need more support

It was incredibly fucking easy when my mom explained it to me as a kid. Or you could sing Phoebe's song from Friends: "Sometimes men like women, sometimes men like men..."

so i talked to one of the bushes at the super bowl www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

my queer cozy horror THE LORD OF THE WOOD is available to request on NetGalley! it's about a 43yo autistic guy who has a gay/lowkey monsterfucker awakening after getting lost in an enchanted forest #WeeknightWriters www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

Q6: Do you have any recent or upcoming publications? Share them here, and be sure to include links if you have them! (No AI, and please add alt text to all images) #WeeknightWriters

I don't know who needs to hear this, but all those "video game OST city pop/synthwave/jazz fusion remix album" you came across are AI slop. Some times you just gotta check their channels and tell yourself "no way this dude is composing hours worth of game covers in less than two weeks"

i’m gonna be honest, this flare on stage & flashing lights are fucking up my concussion-adled brain like it hurts BAD #grammys

Oh my god, I feel so bad for Cher. 😭 Please be nice to her people, she's almost 80 years old. #Grammys

Can someone tell me why Sabrina Carpenter kept getting censored during her #Grammys performance?

Five jobs I've had: 1) Bookseller 2) Library Assistant 3) Library Associate 4) Pet Sitter 5) Cosplay Artist (mostly making jewelry for people's costumes) Yes, Library Assistant and Library Associate are different jobs. It's mainly a difference in pay rate. 😅

Ranma 1/2 is the slowest slow burn enemies to lovers romance ever. Y'know, in case you're into that kind of thing.

ICYMI! Reading for the Uncanny Magazine Poll? Try the novella "The Lure of Stone" by Silvia Moreno-Garcia! You can read it here! buff.ly/KkvuyTu

Oh fuck, not Catherine O’Hara

"A Minnesota grand jury has indicted the four on charges related to the interruption of a religious service at the church, where a a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official serves as a pastor." How did they convince a grand jury to indict an obvious journalist? www.npr.org/2026/01/30/n...
