One Russians are trying to harm us; another the Germans. The others probably were forced here at some point in the 1700s.

What in the wild wild world of sports is Yale thinking?

This is why I hate Walden! Live alone but have mommy down the lane to get stuff done! As if!

Let’s go!!!

Just saw a streamer categorize The Lord of the Rings under “jewel theft” and I’m not sure I can argue.

ICE in Minneapolis completely failed to reckon with home field advantage. Never invade Russia during the winter. Never get into a snowball fight with Norwegian middle schoolers. These are lessons that every conquering army must inevitably learn.

In the year of our Lords of Kobol 2026 why are we having “Semi-Charmed Life” on the halftime show of the Orange Bowl? And no radio edit version!

The fuck AI?

I'm at an hour less of sunlight today than usual (not that I'm leaving this hotel because COLD!).

It's so weird to be in MN today where I'm getting less sun than normal.

Persuasion was published on this day in 1817. Making it 208 years of every other love letter not being good enough.

Emma Woodhouse’s guide to reading more:

Step one: add books to your TBR list
Step two:
Step three: add more books to your TBR pile

Hey you count all the other years too. Trust me.

That's a keeper!

I can imagine at least five of our classmates that would have used a disability to get more time not to mention our classmates that should have used them.

Remember those days of Fox in the early 00s when the shows either started in August and went on a long hiatus or started in November. (Man why do I remember that break in S1 of The OC for baseball.)

It really does!

“Are the fae open source” is the kind of deranged sentence that keeps me addicted to microblogging. Beautiful poison Rappaccini flower.

[quoting a tweet from CaffeinatedLiha: “Reading books at night is self-care. The kind that ruins your sleep schedule but heals your soul.”]

It sounds crazy but I promise you: if you just put your phone aside and read for half an hour each night before bed, it will change your life.

He did it again for the 5 year anniversary

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

They have merch!

Merger approvals really have been a huge area of vulnerability. It’s also the key fault line in the matter of the law firms that caved

It says something if I want to agree with dear old Rafael.

Oh it might have been the booksellers at the B&N or other places, which felt so odd as they were selling the hell out of a certain magical series. I don't have that same feeling now when I go into a bookstore for sure.

There’s no reason to have been annoyed by them when they came out, but I remember it as I was getting back into reading for pleasure in those days. It just make me frustrated as a reader to be sort of dismissed for what catered to my interests.

Yes and yes.

I’m not as into looking into them as others, but that’s the feel I had from ages ago when all the LitFit people bemoaned SatC and Bridget Jones when they weren’t strictly romance (aka a bodess ripper).

All fair. I just get annoyed at what is out there and how often LitFit has to put down every other genre.

I hate that LitFit is just the moniker of non-romance, SFF. Sure there is good stuff there but also just annoying white men.
