I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re doomscrolling right now for no reason and you’re ignoring a good book you’ve been reading, you can just stop doomscrolling and read the book instead.

I’m sure gonna.

The landscape of social media is yet again crumbling to the failures of capitalism as yet again, the wealthy do what they please while the rest of us must pick up the pieces.

Whenever I try to explain board/video games to someone not in the hobby, I sound like a crazy person.

The best book community I’ve found is the amazing folks in the Book Reviews Kill discord server. Several have started making their way over here 🦋 so I made a starter pack. If you’re looking for cool bookish people to follow, these are cool bookish people. go.bsky.app/Na8TGay

I want less Silicon Valley companies and more companies like Tabasco where everything is just put into big oak barrels and once in awhile an aging Cajun man walks in and goes “how them babies doin”

California Fire Relief In response to fire across California, Direct Relief provides N-95 masks, medicine, and other resources to public agencies and first responders in wildfire-affected communities.

So yes, a Stormlight Archive screen adaptation should be made (I vote for animation), but who would you want to do the score?

Homemade curry hits so hard EVERY. TIME.

Okay, maybe NEXT year will be when I finish my first book 😅😅

for context NYC offered a $10k reward for any critical information about the homocide which is about the cost of a single 15 minute ambulance ride after UnitedHealthcare denies coverage bc the EMTs responding to the call were out of network

There’s not enough whiskey in the world to get me through the rest of the year.

Any movie can be a Christmas movie if you need to start an argument.

Far from. I just like keeping genres separated for better immersion.

I’m challenging myself to finish Shadow of the Gods before Wind and Truth comes out. I can only do one fantasy book at a time 😅

My other popular opinion is that in-app purchases fucked mobile gaming.

Yes, there are exceptions; I know them. But the whole “our game gets unplayable after a point unless you buy coins” thing just means that games are no longer fun and developers aren’t trying to balance playability any longer.

You are not "too old," you don't "just not get it." Things have stopped being made intuitively by default. You are the victim, you are being gaslit into believing you are deficient when using software made by companies that have failed you.

Holy fuck, Wicked was amazing.

This ad makes me audibly groan.

If anyone sings along to Wicked during my screening, I will become a problem.

Idea: A TTRPG one shot where you play as the Wet Bandits from Home Alone

Day 3 (I missed yesterday)

SNAP work requirements fail to increase employment.

Just plain getting on SNAP does improve labor market outcomes.

Today’s mood.

Just arrived at the 160,000 followers mark, which is a wild and amazing number. Thank you for coming along on this ride in the sky with me, folks. To commemorate the moment, and in recognition of the US Thanksgiving holiday coming up, I've donated to Feeding America. Onward!
