If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

Glad to hear that THE guy in the Star Wars despecialization community thinks those recent leaks of a 4K restoration of the theatrical cuts of the OG films looks legit (seeing how dirty and nasty some sets and costumes in the first film was is a delightful revelation): youtu.be/J29_AcURtyc?...

This is gaming at its best: creating a safe virtual space to bring players together and help build stronger communities.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

It is forever lamentable that a child's desire to help is inversely proportional to their ability to do so.

i've said this before but sentai heroes with shattered helmets are like zombies wearing hazmat suits. they're the perfect iconography for "absolutely everything in place to restore order has failed"

What do you think, Coco fans: Does the minigun make women cruel?

My daughter just had her first playdate with her best friend from daycare. They had such a good time! 🥹

My favorite hobby is buying video games and fantasizing about playing and enjoying them Over the past decade, I think I’ve spent more hours shopping for video games than actually playing them 😁

Guys I found something worse than asking ChatGPT to do your homework

Lately my daughter has been saying "I'm going to help you today!" I let her push down the button on the toaster, but when I wasn't looking she also adjusted the slider. And then she tried to open the little icing packet. 😅

The Thing

ActRaiser ended up being even more fantastic than it always seemed in Nintendo Power. I loved the graphics and music, and the alternating platforming and sim mechanics work are still fresh and enrich the experience. But Northwall Act 2 is ROUGH, and the boss rush is brutal. #JustBeatIt

something really fun about Trump instantly succumbing to Mamdani’s dazzling charisma is how miserable it probably made Andrew Cuomo to see those pictures 🥰

This is not a drill! A new Mortal Engines book by @philipreeve.bsky.social is coming out in *three months*, A Bridge of Storms! One of my favorite book series -- instant pre-order! And check out the stunning cover by @ianmcque.bsky.social. bookshop.org/p/books/brid...

ATTENTION SPEEDRUN FANS‼️ I accidentally bought AGDQ tickets on the same day I'm supposed to get married & they cost me $2,000 (plane, registration, hotel, etc.) If anyone wants to go take my place for FREE it's going to be at the St. Marys church his name is John he's 5'10 super nice guy

If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...

since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.

Reminder this is open all day!

I feel like a super star for finally repairing my son's Glamrock Freddy backpack

This morning's reading is (finally) Hello Sunshine by Keezy Young. I went into it knowing very little about the story, drawn in by the art and vibes, and so far I love it and just want to curl up under a warm blanket and read all day. *glares at adult responsibilities*

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

How soon will the Crackpot Disinformation Centers update their autism FAQ page, which was updated only a year ago to say vaccines "are not associated with" autism specific spectrum disorder? 😔 www.cdc.gov/autism/faq/i...

I thought Zohran would be good. I didn't know he'd be THIS good.

Authors beware: ClaimsHero is urging authors to opt out of the Anthropic settlement in order to file their own separate lawsuit. Except this outfit has no federal or state court experience with class-action suits. And the judge has called them a fraud.

In case anyone wonders how things are going in The Other Place

Going to end on one of the most beautiful commercials ever made with the reminder and a call to remember the small things. They make a big difference to others. Love all, help all. Go Jackets.

Honestly, the thing I wish more people knew about was that I made all these rad teacher resources for my books with science experiments and crafts and all sorts of great elementary school activities. They kinda just hide out on my website and never get clicked! www.katieslivensky.com/resources

I'm not sure anyone will even see this thread, but we all have projects we wished had gotten more attention. What did you make in 2025 that you feel was overlooked? Tell us about it and share links so more of us can discover it!

Adjuncts, indie scholars, publishers, journal eds: please spread the word about this and help me do recon! It's so hard w/ social media being so fragmented to learn about all the great lit studies articles and books pub'd this year by contingent/indie folx. I know there's lots! Deadline: end of Nov.

I do not know why my "sleepwalkers mysteriously walk across a violent, divided America during an unfolding pandemic being investigated by a rogue government-built AI" novel WANDERERS is a buck-ninety-nine for your electromagnetic book reader of choice, but it is, so go enjoy an on-sale apocalypse?

Uhhhhhhh...???

I recently created my first romhack! It disables the rings in Sonic 1 for Genesis. It makes the game much more difficult. It prevents acquiring continues, severely reduces lives, and prevents using rings defensively. To ensure the game is beatable I streamed it until I finally finished it.
