Same appeal as Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Tom Cruise. Once you hit the A-list of notoriety, people are seeing the movie because your ability to entertain as yourself is the talent.

Gerald Seymour. I read "Harry's Game", his first novel, in the middle of lockdown, and was utterly blown away at how good it was, then delighted there were so many more novels of his to explore.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

PSA: If you're chatting with an employee of a brick and mortar book store, PLEASE don't tell them you're going to buy the book they just spent 10 minutes helping you discover on Amazon. Yes, it may be cheaper, but you're basically using them as an Amazon showroom/extracting unpaid labor.

The image shows actress Melissa Joan Hart wearing an olive-colored top looking at the camera and smiling. She is holding the controller for a Sega Dreamcast, and standing in front of a demo kiosk as part of a photo op promoting the system's release.

If you recognize both the actress and the game system she's playing, we should probably be besties here.

Gaming Over 40: Something I Miss About the Modern Age | PeakD Gaming today is undeniably better, but there is one thing I miss about the old days.... by modernzorker

Modern games are clearly more advanced than their older counterparts, but that comes with a cost beyond the money required to buy the hardware and software.
