How are we to force our children to love us if we're not allowed to beat them?

The first two reviews of Tron: Ares I've seen have been a four-star and a 1-star, so you best believe I'm seeing it.

Part of my husbandly duties, sometimes, is reminding my wife that the reason some people are snippy at her on Facebook is because the two things people on Facebook cannot do are 1.) Read and 2.) Write.

How Local Librarians Keep AI Slop Off the Shelves AI is being used to create nonsensical, sometimes dangerously inaccurate books. Local librarians are tasked with keeping these volumes out of their collections.

โ€œWhen you get a suspicious book, โ€œyou look it up to see what else the [author] has written. And you see there's 30 things, and none of them have any reviews, and they were all written in the last two years,โ€ DeMeester-Lane says.โ€

if there's a silver lining to the bari weiss stuff it's that being put in charge of cbs news in 2025 is kind of like being named the commander of a french horseback cavalry division in 1917

If you are a CEO about to start a whole fucking thing in your replies,I would like you to know that I am available to run D&D. Your frictionless conflict free life can be processed through the medium of collaborative role play instead of being dumb on your website that you own.

I haven't seen The Goonies. I really wonder how the fuck they go from suburbia to like a pirate cave, but also I'm really not gonna watch it. What's with the guy's face? (But I'm not gonna watch it.)

I have been trying to get Facebook to let me back into my accidentally-un-two-factorable legitimate personal account for the past four months--I don't even want to be there, really, I just wanna shill my book to my friends. Their support email--their MAIN INBOX--just bounces back as full.

It could be samurai Shakespeare or just a man being blackmailed, but Kurosawa just didn't have a boring shot in him.

Two publishing agents with whiskers and tails inspecting an empty box of my novel's first print run. One of the agents is inside the box and the other is waiting for his turn.

First printing of the novel is off to all purchasers. And somebody is very happy the box is empty.

I labored under more than one sad newsroom that kicked us around day after day, I know how tenuous the life is. But I've also walked from jobs with no prospects or plan and found a way, and Now Is The Time. Now's BEEN the time.

My debut for @splinternews.bsky.social is up today. I hit the road to see @theonion.com's #BadPedophile movie at an indie theatre in St. Louis, complete with 75yo resident organist. The theatre's manager had plenty to say on the state of this "controversial" flick.
