This is one hell of a good book that kept me engaged for the entire time. Thanks to @hgmc-pod.bsky.social for making me read it. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I feel this deep in my bones.

Weird tonal shift notwithstanding, I am absolutely engrossed in The Gone World now. @hgmc-pod.bsky.social Already half way through. Great choice.

Discord needs to update so frequently I'm shocked it isn't published by Microsoft.

Every sentence of this article is incredible.

Gotta hand it to your book club, moving straight from a flowery young adult tale set in an ancient sorta-Japan straight to a contemporary sci-fi that opens with a bunch of gruesome murders is a hell of tone-stretch. @hgmc-pod.bsky.social

I'm halfway through Nightingale Floor. Very easy to read and contains some really beautiful prose. Damn fine selection. @hgmc-pod.bsky.social

I have so many e-books and physical books to read, but I still couldn't resist picking this one up. I'm a sucker for gilded pages.

I picked up this (hardcover) bad boy cheap from Thriftbooks and can't wait to read it after my current book is done. @hgmc-pod.bsky.social

If only there was something in the Bible about this...

"All the recently injured people down at the ER say I'm an excellent driver. A double plus."

“This decadent, easy-to-throw-together cake will be the star of any child-trafficking meetup you bring it to, and just like pedophilia, once you get a taste, you won’t be able to stop,” Trump said in an instructional video posted to his social media platform

The lightly falling braids on the protagonist is a nice touch.

Huh. I never knew Kinkaide starred in an 80's TV show where he investigated coastal drug crimes.

On the other hand, the most promising job involves being a test passenger for an incredibly dangerous mode of transportation and being so desperate that you'll try it. Going to give the author half credit.

I'm reading a collection of sci-fi short stories from 1991 and hit with hilarious prediction that, in the future, employment agency personnel would actually talk to you. Ha ha.

I finally have my reviews completed in time for @letterboxd.social and it turns out it's a Two Star Bonanza™️because I'm so into #filmriffing. Honestly, I had fun watching all of these, even if it *was* due to the conversations and critiques that emerged from them. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Posting this for no particular reason. None. Zero. Why do you ask? www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYC0...

I would totally buy a potion and a map from them.

I graduated from high school in 1991. All of this checks out.

Completely fucking checks out.

Winn has the best villain arc in Star Trek: 1) Unibomber 2) Pope 3) Satanist 4) "I may be a Satanist, but I'm no Nazi" 5) Human Torch

Let's walkthrough the NEW Satellite of Love with Kevin Murphy, won't we? youtu.be/dZzPIxMDtSg

"All I know is my gut says maybe"

FINALLY! Our long, national nightmare can begin! This time: on purpose!

I went to the premiere on the day of in Mpls, second showing, and saw Kevin Murphy leaving. Asked how good it was, he shrugged and said "It's all right".

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

These Cartoon Cartoons shorts continue to astound me! I particularly like this new one HARMONY IN DESPAIR. A pacifist sunshine and rainbows figure thriving in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. It's so good! I wish so many of these shorts could be full blown series! youtu.be/PXrDmUeZnig?...

For a split second, I though this was a Terry Pratchett adaptation.

First new photo from the moon.

Hey, remember that comic strip your grandfather liked and that felt extremely dated in the 1980's? We're going to adapt it.

Here's a Readful Things action figure piece of Gary Oldman holding a Readful Things action figure piece

No.

Taking a break from my chronological read (and re-read) of the entire Discworld series to appreciate all the incredibly cool artwork - over the years - created by Paul Kidby. app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/aa8d...

Hell yeah. He's into all the best art and music.

Paused MAD MEN while Ted Chaough’s partner was in the hospital and the HBO Max interstitial ad made it look like his dying wish was for a Whopper.

HARD PASS

this is the fourth time a company has said they'd either send openai billions or get openai to send them billions that's never actually come through - AMD's 6GW of data centers, SK Hynix/Samsung's 900k of DRAM wafers, NVIDIA's $100bn, and Broadcom's 10GW - none of them are real!

I don't post a lot of these, but I found myself having way more to say about this movie - and James Bond as a concept - than I usually do. letterboxd.com/docbadwrench... #letterboxd

Hell of a flex when the game's systems and story is tedious as hell.

I was happy enough for four new episodes, but I'm even happier about this event being a retro-nerd singularity.

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

We lost one of the greatest writers of the 20th and 21st century 11 years ago today. Crack open "Small Gods" in his memory, or any other of his books. They are all masterpieces.

Finished this book today. Thanks @acollierastro.bsky.social for prompting me. Was fun. Looking forward to the book club stream. app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/a4ac...
