"And James Bond, who did NOT die"

Apocalypse World has had a bigger impact on my life than any other roleplaying game. It's just a phenomenal game, designed by phenomenal people. You should pick up a copy of the new edition!

I think I would still be wildly unhappy with how this all played out with this messaging, but at least it would feel like it's engaged with the world we live in today. The "my constituents just want us to work together" argument exists in the eternal 1995 too many Dems refuse to leave behind.

Cow. Boy. Hat.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Today is the publication day for WITHOUT CONSENT, a book I am so proud to share with the world, and that the New York Times Book Review says "is years — decades — overdue." Read more, and order in your preferred format from your favorite retailer here: www.sarahweinman.com/book/without...

Seeing adults in Peanuts -- even in a "cameo" appearance -- will make you immediately understand why Schulz essentially banned them from the strip after an early experiment or two.

the entirety of the british press talked themselves into believing this woman is trans based almost entirely on JK Rowling's judgement of the athlete's appearance.

Everything in our current society makes more sense when you apply the lens of understanding abusive family dynamics to *gestures broadly*

Apologies to Variety, but Letterboxd should have gotten this scoop

I've been seeing this headline floating around. To be clear: 1) This is "No. 1" on a miniscule chart, The "Country Digital Song Sales" chart, as in people actually paying money to download country songs which is a tiny amount of people 2) The actual consumers are almost certainly fake

Woodworking is a GOODREADS CHOICE NOMINEE for Best Debut Novel! If you wanted to toss it a vote, I would love that! And if you wanted to vote for something else, that's great too, as there are so many good books, but maybe just forget to vote before the deadline?? www.goodreads.com/choiceawards...

Largely the premise of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, one of the most beloved movies ever made.

My new old person hack is that sitting down for concerts is preferable, and you should just get a seat where you can do that. They’re usually cheaper too!

“Are those…” “Hearn’s lamps? Yeah they are.”

kinda blows my mind that every single sports fan doesn’t own a digital antenna. i get that lots of stuff is on cable but the one time purchase of an antenna has solved so many of my problems

we didn't immediately get a single all-time folk rock ballad out of the big boat getting stuck, huge L for millennials and zoomers

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

50 years ago today the Edmund Fitzgerald sank

Woodworking is such a beautiful book. I felt an actual sense of grief after I finished because I couldn’t continue living in the characters’ heads, they were that compelling and I came to love them all that much. I highly recommend it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A staggering number of romance authors when Taylor Swift started dating Travis Kelce: Yes. This is it. Time to write my pop star/athlete romance. Hero Alexandria Bellefleur: I will write a romance novel about gay Tree Paine. www.harpercollins.com/products/pla...

If you have a book lover in your life, Woodworking by Emily St. James would make a wonderful holiday gift. The hardcover edition is quite handsome. There are desks on the cover! bookshop.org/p/books/wood...

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

Going to publish a daily devotional for trans women and the people who love them called Forced Feminized by the Risen Christ: A Daily Journey.

These people are going to send their life savings to a Macedonian server farm the second they don't have aides reading all their emails

If you see this, post your bird art 🐦 #birds #ducks

I only leave my house for concerts now, it would seem.

just a reminder that the 8 Dems who folded need to vote again later in the week (thanks to dumb senate procedure, unsurprisingly) light their phones up tomorrow at 9AM

Love this glimpse into a time when the Washington Post had to verify what Cosell said on the broadcast because they happened to have been taping the game, presumably on VHS or Betamax tape!

The rich guys of the Gilded Age were all assholes, but they all felt the need to at least pretend to be cultured and philanthropic (the existence of Carnegie Hall, for instance). These guys are all boobs who think it's funny when 14-year-old boys say slurs.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

every generation loves Rumours. it’s fucking Rumours

Have never been more aware of how brittle and paper-thin fascist belief systems are than I have the past year. These guys tremble at a couple drops of rain.

The only way to stream the unabridged version of It's a Wonderful Life, without paying a rental or purchase fee, is to watch the colorized version on Prime Video. At long last, Jeff Bezos has gone too far. Black and white is also available there, but is a TV cut that is 12 minutes shorter!

I'd love some recommendations for film scores that have a wintery/Christmas-y vibe without being, like, straight-up Christmas carols.

proud of this one! give it a read! here's a lil teaser!

Bugonia? I hardly know ya! (I haven't seen this movie, so that is a joke about its title, and honestly, one of the funnier jokes ever made.)

Can I tell you about someone else whose followers included adult content creators

Randomly decided this morning to attend the Beths concert at the Wiltern, and if you see me, say hi!

Sometimes America is so beautiful it just makes you want to cry. From beauty.

I explained the concept of “a band” to my music loving child, and they said they want to be in a band. When I asked what they would call their band, they IMMEDIATELY said, “Rainbows for Grandma,” so I guess they’ve found their calling??

Norman Rockwell meme I think Sabrina Carpenter is hot

AI could end scarcity, end humanity - or boost trend growth by 0.2 percentage points

so my town has been hosting an emergency food drive for snap recipients. the town, high school clubs, the Y, the churches (Episcopal, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Baptists, Unitarians, and the Catholics) & the synagogue, are involved. You know who isn't participating? the fucking evangelicals.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

One thing I love is when there are ANGELS in AMERICA.

I spit on the reputation of the U.S. Supreme Court, not that it can get much more degraded than it has already become by the repulsive actions of its disgusting GOP members. You can hear the transphobic sneer in these words.
