Boo mentions new game I would love, seen on TikTok (Tiny Book Shop)

It’s on the Switch 2

Boo looks up buying Switch 2 ☠️

Boo reads comments, “they say if you like this game, read Bookshop on the Corner.”

I borrowed the book from Libby and am halfway done already

Friendly reminder that school administrators tend to take complaints from parents much more seriously than the same complaints from teachers. So if your kids’ school district is using PragerU stuff, please speak up.

One of my random ass favorite things is listening to soundtracks of movies I’ve never seen and imagining what’s happening.

I sewed a quilt-style Mondrian duvet cover to bring to college one summer, largely thanks to Planet of the Apes OST. Couldn’t care less about watching the movie though.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

That book was literally my first thought upon seeing that headline.

Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

Hi #PortfolioDay
I'm Simon, and I'm homesick for a world that never existed. Take a look if you want to daydream for a short time.
So I draw my own world called "Argenta" and write lore about it on Patreon. I also sell prints if you'd like to have one.
Have a nice day! 🌿

The bar is so low

Always Chun Li! ✌️

I’ve started watching X-Files for the first time (saw the movie several times but never the show), and it stands up. (I’m playing Monster of the Week and need inspo.)

But also, there are ads watching it on Disney+ and every ad that isn’t for a prescription feels like a fever dream.

Oh, and here’s a postworkout thirst trap since it’s been a minute.

There’s even a zoomed-in back reflection since I never see my back and was like, “Oh! She’s strong.”

What happens now in my game? — Judy Black My current Dungeons and Dragons game tends to happen once a week and every week I end up asking myself: 'Great! What happens in this week's game???' This certainly is more of an issue in games that…

Hahaha. Fair! I replaced them with my own bag of cough drops that I discovered had expired in 2021

Tell me you’re staying at your parents’ house without telling me you’re staying at your parents’.

I’ll go first.

I’m not even sure if they lived in this house back then.

Great mug!

I thought I might have the start of laryngitis from overtaxed vocal cords the day before a weekend of busy reunion activities. And after hours of yelling loudly to be heard over music and dozens of others yelling loudly, it definitely was. Much happier after 12 hours of not talking.

Rosewater, my Wild West adventure game, has been out nearly 4 months and has been very well-received!

But I also feel like it’s reached a fraction of its potential audience.

If you can spare a repost and help spread the word, it would be greatly appreciated!

Whoa. That is some drama at the table!

High school reunion fun times.

I really went to a remarkable school. I always thought my classmates were talented and interesting, even if I didn’t love some aspects of high school.

But everyone I’m re-meeting just seems cool now in a mature way too. The confident “let them” of 40s is a joy.

New York Times headline: "Is it Time to Stop Snubbing Your Right-Wing Family?" Above the headline a photo of the vampires from Sinners, asking to be let in. The photo has been modified with a downward-facing word balloon to create the effect that the vampires are speaking the headline.
