There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

For years people said it was a gross exaggeration to label Nazism and its associated viewpoints within the modern conservative movement and especially online. Now Nazis are openly thriving and their rhetoric is impossible to avoid and many of the people who downplayed it are saying nothing at all

George has also said over and over he doesn’t want anyone to finish his books which is more important

GRRM should be allowed to shoot 5 people a day

The only thing missing from the Grammys this year was a Kendrick performance. Next week 🙌

Man I can't wait to watch that Kendrick Lamar concert in a week

Super Bowl out Kendrick concert in 😅

I’ll add the nonfiction rec to my tbr

I loved the trilogy but it’s poorly marketed by certain readers. Literally thought it was YA until I saw it on a list of grimdark fantasy lol

Trans people are not your enemy. Queer people are not your enemy. Immigrants are not your enemy. Your neighbors are not your enemy. Your coworkers are not your enemy. Strangers in the store are not your enemy.

They are not the reason you can’t put food on the table. Or pay your bills.

Scum of the earth

Nope. I was hoping to get to Malazan this year but it’s looking more like next year
